Introduction: Don't let your child carry a heavy "physical burden" from an early age.
At 16 years old and 360 pounds, this teenager broke the national record for the weight of minors.
He has loved eating fried food since he was 6 years old, and after 10 years of "overeating", his body shape has completely lost control: 180 in height, 180 kg in weight, 1.6 meters in waist circumference, and a BMI of 55.6.
Before undergoing surgery in the hospital, he went out in a wheelchair, dressed to be customized, because of obesity also suffered from serious fatty liver, blood lipids, insulin and other indicators of serious abnormalities...

Out of every five children
There's a little chubby mound
The global obesity report published by the New England Journal of Medicine mentioned that the number of obese children in China has ranked first in the world, with 15 million obese children.
Everyone's life is getting better and better, many children are getting fat when they eat, and "little fat mounds" can be seen everywhere in life.
Dr. Chen Wei, director of the Department of Clinical Nutrition of Peking Union Medical College Hospital, also told us that according to the latest statistical results, 20% of adolescents are overweight, and 1 in 5 people has a fat child.
In the hearts of the older generation, "white and fat" is synonymous with health, children are never strong enough, the best way is to eat and eat. The most popular of the family groups are the children of "meat and meat"...
These deep-rooted parenting concepts make us overlook that many children are already "obese"!
Today, we want to seriously explain this matter clearly: it is really bad to be fat when I was a child!

Fat as a child
Growing up is not easy to lose weight
Many people think that it is not important to be fat when they are young, mainly because they think that they will lose weight when they grow up. But the truth is harsh, a long-tracked study found:
Obesity has been problematic since childhood, and the road to weight loss will become more difficult, because children who are obese in childhood may have developed bad eating habits.
Obesity also has a cause, according to research:
Obese children are mostly more sweet-loving, love high-oil foods, and do not eat on time;
At the same time, because of their bulky body, obese children are less athletic than normal-weight children of the same age;
With the increase of academic pressure and the reduction of exercise time, many physical education classes in junior high school and high school are even often replaced, further reducing the amount of activity of "little fat mounds"...

Obesity affects children
A lifetime of health
1. Obesity and "three highs" (hyperglycemia, hyperlipidemia, hypertension).
The "China Childhood Obesity Report" shows that the risk of developing hypertension and diabetes in obese children is 2-3 times higher than that of normal-weight children.
2. Obesity affects development.
Obesity can lead to precocious puberty in children, and height can also be affected.
3. Obesity affects sleep.
Obese children may have difficulty breathing while sleeping, which in severe cases may lead to "sleep apnea syndrome".
4. Even if the harm to health in childhood is not revealed, the long-term effects of obesity are very frightening: the risk of many chronic diseases and cancers is also increasing.
5. Obesity affects intelligence.
Obese children have too high brain fat content, thinking will become sluggish, memory is relatively poor, coupled with insufficient blood oxygen supply, often sleepy when learning, lack of concentration, intellectual development will be affected.
6. Obesity affects social interaction.
Obese children are vulnerable to discrimination by others in their lives, which can leave a trauma in their hearts.
According to a survey on students' perceptions and attitudes toward obese children, nearly 40% of primary school students have negative perceptions of obese children as inattentive, poor figure, inflexible mobility, inactivity, unresponsiveness, unresponsiveness and susceptibility to illness.
7. There are also surveys that found that obese children have a higher tendency to depression and a higher risk of developing depression in adulthood.

Obesity and malnutrition
Both exist
The fact that there are more and more obese children does not mean that our children are stronger, but that there may be severe "malnutrition".
With the development of the economy, we are more and more not short of food.

In the era of not worrying about eating, the dietary structure of children is becoming more and more unreasonable.
"Don't like to eat vegetables? It's okay, then eat more meat. ”
"Don't want to eat? Then take you to a KFC. ”
"Perform well today and reward a bottle of drink..."
In other words, you should not eat enough, and the more you should not eat, the more you eat.
The fatter you eat, the less nutrients you have.
For the sake of children's physical and mental health, parents and friends must pay attention to it, so that children can stay away from obesity and maintain health.

How to prevent childhood obesity
How do you know if your child is obese?
Parents can refer to the "Screening of Overweight and Obesity of School-Age Children and Adolescents" issued by the Health Commission to compare their children's height and weight:
The criteria for screening in the table are body mass index BMI, BMI = weight (kg) ÷ square (m) of height, and the results of the calculation are compared with the data in the table, and it is clear that the size of their children is not obese.
If children can slim down in time before they reach adulthood, the physical harm caused by obesity can be reduced.
According to the "Scientific Research Report on Dietary Guidelines for Chinese Residents", Little Bee gives parents the following suggestions:
