In fact, in our time, many parents are faced with the problem of obesity in a child. The kids' favorite hot dogs, hamburgers, fries and sweets do their job.
In order to avoid the problems of obesity, it is imperative to make the right diet for the child.
Regular meals
The habit of not eating breakfast, replacing lunch with sweet snacks, and gorging yourself at night is a direct path to obesity.
Make sure your child has a good meal in the morning. Then he will not want to snack on a chocolate or a bun until lunchtime. Lunch should be complete - soup, hot dish and compote. Then a light afternoon snack, and 2-3 hours before bedtime - a loose dinner. In just a day, the child should eat at least four times.
A varied menu
A sausage sandwich for breakfast, a sausage with pasta for lunch and dinner, soda for all occasions - you can't expect a good figure with such a menu.
Prepare a variety of meals. Involve the child in this process: it is important that he sees how and from what food is prepared. Form the menu so that daily it includes products from five groups: cereals and cereals, vegetables and fruits, dairy products, meat or fish, eggs.
Ability to choose
The kids are very fond of eating hamburgers and fries. And adults are not always around to stop them.
Pay the teen's attention to the fact that even in fast food establishments, you can choose healthy food: vegetable salads, freshly squeezed juices, and so on. In this case, you can hope that during the next trip with friends to the cafe, the herd instinct will not work for the child.
Positive example
Fighting for the child's love, parents each slip him something tasty. The result is systematic overeating and overweight.
Don't use food as a gift or encouragement. Demonstrate your love in a different way - socialize, walk, find a common hobby. Don't let grandparents spoil your child by bringing mountains of sweets and sweets to the house.
Physical activity
So that the received calories are not deposited on the stomach and sides, they must be burned.
Every day for at least an hour, the son or daughter must actively move: take the child to the section, to the stadium. Teach him to play badminton, table tennis, rollerblading, cycling. Spends more time with the child in the fresh air: even the usual walks before bedtime are a good boost of vivacity for the whole family.
