Unfortunately, the problem of obesity among children today is quite acute for people, and doctors are very much concerned. Obesity not only worsens a child's figure, but also puts his health at great risk, which is even more dangerous.
Only parents should monitor the normal weight of children, because it is the parents who are responsible for the correct health of the child exactly until the moment the child becomes a sufficiently adult and independent person.
Many dads and moms do not follow the proper nutrition of their children, unless they consider it important or necessary. For many parents, the main thing is that their little miracle should eat at least something several times a day and not be thin. It is clear that this is a wrong position, because if a child chooses his own diet on his own, it cannot end with something good. In any case, children will choose forbidden fruits for themselves that will not benefit the body.
This does not mean that children need to be fed only with wholesome food, sometimes you can be allowed to give him something harmful and very tasty for him, but the predominant food should be just wholesome food.
Overeating begins in early childhood, when parents or grandparents feed their child themselves. They try to shove as many spoons of food into it as possible, thinking that the child has not yet eaten. With such zeal, they stretch the child's stomach, thereby provoking overeating. This means that next time he will not be able to get enough of the same amount of food, and the portions will increase. As a result, the child will become obese.
How can you keep your child from overeating?
In addition to the appearance of extra pounds in children, overeating reduces their activity. And those children who spend their day not doing any business are most often prone to manifestation of obesity, so children need to be taught to spend time actively.
If the weight of the child exceeds the norm, measures must be taken immediately. First and foremost is nutritional adjustments. If this does not help, you need to contact a qualified nutritionist who can draw up a competent diet.
The weight of each person directly affects his health, and all responsibility for the children lies with the parental shoulders. An important point is that parents should only set a positive example, because each child will eventually copy the behavior and manners of their parents.
