Obesity and kids

When we talk about the health of our children, we often do not even think about the remotest possibility of it developing certain health problems. However, avoid thinking or discussing about it is not the best way to prevent or treat a health problem - and this is what happens, for example, regarding childhood obesity, a health problem that can be solved by means of firm attitudes and a constant search for a healthier diet.

Maybe you do not want to "play the father boring," living "picking on" your child as to how it feeds. But you need to think as follows: if you do not do this now, who will? If you do not watch and guide their children about their food, you can say that tomorrow is not responsible for possible clinical obesity?

The role of parents in relation to feeding their own children is quite clear. Theirs is regulate what their children eat and when they eat. You do not need to force your child to never go to a coffee shop with your friends, but you can convince him to change the coolant for a certain juice and avoid fried foods such as french fries. Small steps can lead to big results.

Moreover, their role is also to encourage their children to have a life less sedentary: less time in front of TV and computer, more time playing ball with friends. Less time chatting via SMS, more time strolling in parks or squares. As I said earlier, small changes can lead to big results. Always remember that!
