Diet and exercise are the two most NAMAs Efforts to fight childhood obesity has Become a worldwide epidemic . When
parents who have obese children worried their children will be injured
when exercising , try to consult with a nutritionist in order to design a
diet and exercise to help your child lose body weight .
What exactly causes a child overweight or obese ? We
hope pediatricians RSAB in my city , dr Tinuk Supreme Meilany SpA ,
said that about 95 percent of obese children due to nutritional aspects ,
while 5 percent are other causes such as disease or hormonal
abnormalities .
"
Nutrition related to diet . Causes of obesity is an imbalance between
the amount of food intake ( input ) to the output ( output ) in the form
of energy to move , " said a woman who is familiarly called Tinuk .
In order to Obtain the balanced nutrition , parents , especially the mothers need to know the caloric needs of their children . Should not be excessive . Therefore , the human body has the ability to convert excess calories into fat roomates could be the source of obesity . For instance , children up to the age of 5 years requirement is 100 calories per kilogram of body weight .
From there anything can be planned menu that can be selected and applied to the child every day . Suppose a small bowl of porridge three times a day plus three glasses of milk a day , fruit , and a little snack .
"
If still in doubt , the mother can ask your doctor or nutritionist
about a balanced sample daily menu . Subsequently , the menu itself can
be varied so as not to get bored , " he said.
Unlike
adults , a body mass index ( BMI ) in children is more difficult to
Determine Because every month or year can be changed , and generally IMT
young boys and girls are different . Assessment
is usually based on the percentile growth curve or curves recorded at
Health Card ( KMS ) of each child and monitored from infancy . Similarly , child caloric needs with increase of age and activity .
"Individual
factors also should not be forgotten . There are children who can not
spend large amounts of food , usually a little , but Often for example .
Thing as it also needs to be Considered in Determining the NAMAs diet ,
" he said.
Often without conscious parents also applied habits or things that are " pro - fat " . Not just a diet , also through day - to- day activities . Moreover , the modern sedentary lifestyle tends to the make children lazy .
"
Go to school escorted bus , at school spending burger , after school
playing games while snacking , home air conditioning turned on the TV
and use the remote , if the maids ' m hungry live . Consequently
sedentary children and get fat , " said Tinuk .
Currently
, measurement of waist circumference in adults is Often recommended as
an " alarm " over the state of health , Including symptoms of metabolic
syndrome . However
, for the children , BMI measurement is Considered more representative
profile of their health in the future , Including the risk of heart
disease .
For parents who do not want to bother take measurements , there is a simple way to monitor children categorized as obese . Character
is doubled belly fat , double chin , cheeks forward ( to the extent
that such sunken nose ) , and there are folds of fat on the back of the
upper arm . Moreover , in obese children are usually the back of the neck area also blackened .
