the tendency towards overweight While children's fat consumption has decreased over the past several decades from 40 percent to 34 percent, their rate of obesity has risen from 12 percent in 1991 to as much as 305 percent today One reason: children have increased the amount of calories they eat each day by as many as 300 Causes: Family genetics and history plays a significant part in whether your child will develop a serious weight problem If you come from a family of heavy people, and high-calorie food is readily available yet exercise is not, your children are likely to become overweight Highly processed, high-calorie meals and fast foods have become staples of the typical Western diet Poor nutrition spells weight gain Eating habits have also changed drastically: family meals have often been replaced by munching continuously throughout the day Cookies, chips and other high-calorie snack foods are readily available for children to fill up on As a result of Obesity: Many obese children have behavior and learning problems Overweight children tend to have more anxiety and poorer social skills than normal weight children At one extreme, these problems may lead to acting out and disrupting the classroom At the other, they may cause social withdrawal Stress and anxiety also interfere with learning School-related anxiety can create a vicious cycle in which ever-growing worry fuels ever-declining academic performance Obesity is associated with increased risk for a number of dangerous medical conditions, including heart disease, cancer, gallstones, high blood pressure, diabetes, and musculoskeletal disorders What to do? - Exercises like brisk walking, jogging, and playing out door games help to reduce weight - Focusing on good health and nutrition, not a certain weight goal - Teach and model healthy and positive attitudes toward food and physical activity without emphasizing body weight - Take a good look at what is consumed in your children's day and see how you can encourage healthier eating - Discourage eating meals or snacks while watching TV because eating in front of the TV may make it difficult to pay attention to feelings of fullness and may lead to overeating - Provide opportunities to help children develop positive attitudes about healthy foods and learn appropriate eating patterns, mealtime behavior, and communication skills - Encourage children to eat slowly - Do not use food as punishment or reward - Be a role model by setting a good example for children to follow by demonstrating healthy eating behaviors and an active lifestyle - Determine the type of physical activity that suits your child's life style and continuously encourage physical activity - Limit high sugar and fat foods without being overly restrictive Fat should not be restricted in the diets of children younger than 2 years of age Children between 2 and 5 should consume gradually diminishing amounts of fat so that by the age of 5 their diet contains no more than 30 percent of calories from fat In conclusion: If you have a child that is considered obese or is getting there please take steps now to reverse or stop it Getting involved early will have a lasting impression on your child's well being Also, this will give you a good opportunity to examine your own health condition Disclaimer: I am not a doctor or nutritionist, before making any changes to your child's life style please consult a professional For more advise on Good Health, Nutrition and Exercise visit my blog @ http://wwwkeeping-fit blogspotcom ]]>
