4 PREVENTATIVE TIPS FOR CHILDHOOD OBESITY

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), childhood obesity has tripled over the past three decades. In 1980, only 7% of children ageing between 6 and 11 were identified as obese. and, by 2008, that jumped to nearly 20%. For older children ageing between 12 to19, obesity increased from 5% to 18% over the same period. There is a fine line between being overweight and obese. The definition of CDC states being overweight as having excess weight due to fat, muscle, bone, water or a combination of these parts depending on particular height. As contradict, obesity refers to having too much body fat without combinations. The reason for obesity in Ahmedabad, London or anywhere on the map is only because the calories consumed in a day remains unburned.

So what can you keep you, children, away from obese? Here are some tips to keep in mind when it comes to getting children up and away from obesity.

Get outside and play

As adults, it's important for children too, to burn off excess calories they consume during daily meals and snacks. However, emphasizing a single obese child needs more physical activity can be heart-breaking and discouraging, so it's best to encourage all children for a better cause- whether it be in a birthday party, family or classroom - to spend more time playing outside, participating in organized running competitions or simply pla ying running and walking for fun.

Healthy eating

As per the Indian department of health, the main focus should be on good health by reducing the intake of greasy fast and fat-saturated sugary snacks. Maintaining their current weight will allow children to grow into a healthy weight as they get older. Encouraging diets filled with healthy fruits, vegetables, nuts, low-fat dairy, no refined food and less sugary items will help children to stay healthy for a long time.

Cutting Sedentary time

Time spent doing sedentary activities such as googling, watching TV, playing video games or simply lounging inside should be kept to a minimum and children should be encouraged in workout activity. Ideally, children should indulge in physical activity or workout for at least 30 minutes or 1 hour 4-5 times a week. This will also make them aware of the importance of outdoor play areas and fun gaming.

Importance of hydration

It's no big secret that drinking water is important for living a healthy and safe life, especially with kids, developing in the prime stage. But staying well-hydrated is also useful from dieting standard rules. For starters, drinking water helps the body's metabolism function smoothly and effectively, making it easy for kids to burn off calories.
