Parents should be alert to the threat of obesity (obesity) on their children. If the child's food consumption patterns are not controlled, not only disturb the appearance, in adulthood it is probable that these children will suffer from coronary heart disease.
Research shows that about 30-40 percent of obese children will become obese adults. Therefore, parents need to instill healthy habits in children as early as possible.
The recommended healthy habits such as eating together, sleeping enough, and watch tv less than two hours each day. "Children aged four years being taught healthy habits by their parents 40 percent lower risk for obesity," said Sarah Anderson of Ohio State University in Columbus, USA, in the journal Pediatrics.
Anderson added that until now scientists have not found a way to cure obesity in children, because it is wiser to prevent it.
Control your child's diet if done through the habit of eating together. Activities eat together at the dinner table is not just to fill a hungry stomach, but also an arena for parents to teach about nutrition and discipline. Another benefit is to increase the bond between parent and child.
Another way of tackling obesity is physical exercise. Children who lack physical activity would tend to become obese when eating excess. Activities to watch tv for hours can be reduced and replaced with fsik activity.
Parents should introduce a variety of enjoyable physical activities, like playing a bike, swim and so forth. Physical exercise in children will be able to improve aerobic endurance, muscle strength and bone density. Children will also be more nimble and not lazy compared to the high incidence of children sitting in front of the tv.
