Many parents don't know enough about childhood obesity, especially the older generation always think that obese people are more blessed, but ignore the impact of obesity on health. Insufficient understanding of obesity has also led to a gradual increase in the obesity rate of children. The obesity rate of children and adolescents aged 6~ 17 has reached 19%. How should parents control childhood obesity? ?

1, diet adjustment, scientific and reasonable diet collocation

Adjusting children's diet is the most important thing, and it is necessary to control children's food intake and diet structure. Controlling children's food intake is not to let children go on a diet, but to let children eat a reasonable amount. At the same time, reduce the intake of high-sugar, fried and high-fat foods, such as cola, fried chicken, hamburgers and braised pork. Because of the scarcity of materials, grandparents hope that with the economic growth, they will give back all the lack of materials to their grandchildren, and all the requirements of their children will be met as much as possible. Children's nutritious diet should not be too single. Try to eat 12 kinds of ingredients every day, try to keep 25 kinds of ingredients every week, and try to eat as many fruits and vegetables as possible, which can effectively prevent the accumulation of calories. 、

Step 2 Exercise properly

Outdoor sports are very important. Children participating in outdoor sports can not only enhance their physical fitness, but also promote the absorption of calcium and effectively consume excess fat. Strive for an hour of cumulative exercise every day, and do appropriate exercise according to your child's age.

Step 3 get enough sleep

Sleep is very important, and lack of sleep is more likely to lead to obesity. Try to go to bed at nine o'clock every day, develop a good sleep pattern, and eat as little food as possible before going to bed. Some children don't get enough sleep for a long time because their parents' living habits also affect their living habits. Parents who stay up late will also stay up late, and it is easy to lose concentration the next morning. In daily life, parents must set an example. Children's imitation ability is very strong, and parents are imitated by their children in every word and deed, trying to set a good example for their children.
