Childhood obesity is becoming more and more common, mostly due to poor eating habits or parental spoiling, and obesity is a potential factor in the incidence of many diseases, so we should pay attention to it. So how to prevent childhood obesity?
How to prevent childhood obesity
1. Eat a balanced diet
Many children like to eat meat instead of vegetables, which will increase the incidence of obesity, and an unbalanced diet will also lead to some nutritional deficiencies, affecting the normal operation of the body. Therefore, parents should gradually cultivate the habit of a balanced diet for their children. In addition to affecting the appearance level, obesity will also make children feel inferior, and their health will be seriously threatened, so we must urge children to eat more vegetables.
In addition, carbonated drinks such as Coke and Sprite are high in sugar and calories, and drinking too much will lead to obesity. Therefore, parents should limit their children's drinking of carbonated drinks, let children drink more water, and cannot replace them with carbonated drinks and juices with high sugar content when they are thirsty.
2. Eat often
Some children will eat a lot of food when they see their favorite food, and because of their poor self-control, they may overeat, so parents should stop it. If your child eats more than he should, you should limit his diet to avoid discomfort such as indigestion or obesity. Parents must correct some bad eating habits of their children in time to prevent excessive energy intake and avoid fat accumulation.
3. Moderate exercise
Parents should mobilize their children's enthusiasm for sports, sports training should combine fun and feasibility, but also adhere to long-term persistence, so that sports become children's daily habits. In addition, the intensity of exercise should be gradual, and high-intensity training should not be carried out in a short period of time. There are also many ways to exercise, such as jumping rope, walking, cycling, jogging, playing football, etc.
Parents and teachers should cooperate with each other to create a good living and learning environment for children, so that children can participate in some outdoor activities that are conducive to physical and mental health after learning, so that children can also prevent obesity.
