Parental Tips on Avoiding Child Obesity

Whenever we see kids that are bubbly, we used to like them wherein our typical expression is “you are sooo cute”. However, unknowingly, we are not helping them to improve their health since we are encouraging them to be like that. The problem is most of these cute kids are already overweight or worst obese.

According to the data of the World Health Organization (WHO) there are about 22 million obese children whose age is below five. That is fact and that fact is really alarming since these are only children but their risks of acquiring serious diseases as they grow older are already high.

Having said that, many health experts have already classified obesity as one of the many medical conditions that has widespread effects on children and adolescents throughout the United States.

Therefore, it is better if the parents of these children will be oriented on how to avoid child obesity. Of course the parents are the one that should be taught first since they are the one who is directly responsible on their children.

Anyway, avoiding child obesity will be a great favor for these children since their health condition will improve are well as their physical attributes.

Then, what should the parents do to avoid this dreadful problem? To answer that, take a look on the list that I have provided for you.

1) Diet.

Don’t spoil your child. Give them the “right” foods that they need as they grow up. Start giving them healthy foods at an early age since if they are not aware of the junk foods then they won’t crave for it.

Also, if possible, don’t store sweets in your food cabinet. Chocolates, candies, cookies and others should be kept on a different location where your child can have it. It is best if you are not going to buy such foods. Buy fruits instead.

2) Sports.

Instead of letting your child to go online to play NBA Live, why don’t you let him play basketball outside? Engaging your child into sports will be helpful in burning those excess fats.

In addition, you can limit their computer playtime and watching TV time and accompany them on they park or playground.

3) Water.

Instead of making concentrated juices or opening a can of soda, why don’t you give your child a glass of water?

Drinking water has a lot of benefits and your child should know that so that he can appreciate why it is important to drink water. Thus, avoid buying sodas. Instead, buy fruits and prepare a fruit juice or fruit shake.

Now that you know the three basic steps on avoiding child obesity, then the power is yours. You are the one who can make it happen since your child can’t do it alone.

It is better if you will adopt those steps to so that you can lead by example.
