Making a Change: Obesity

Mary is not a typical 7 year old girl. She is almost 100 pounds. "The doctor always told Mary," Mary probably died of obescence unless she begins to lose weight. "Unlike other children of the same age, she does not want to play games or ride a bicycle instead Mary just sits on the sofa and wants to see her favorite manga, When I came out to play, I told them that I could come to them and see the movies with her without thinking about myself.

The best way to deal with childhood (and adult) obesity is to change the lifestyle. If your child is overweight or overweight, they are taking more calories than they consume. You need to change their daily lives - the amount of food they eat and the amount of activities they do. Dr. Edward Gainer, Bupa's pediatrician and clinical researcher, says: Sufficient physical activity is the safest way to help keep your child reach a healthy weight. "

Like adult obesity, many factors contribute to the increase in childhood obesity rate. Two of the most important reasons are considered as reasons for the recent increase in the incidence of childhood obesity, the change in diet and the decline in physical activity. Obesity is often examined for hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia and fatty liver because childhood obesity usually lasts until adulthood and is associated with many chronic diseases. Treatment methods used by children are primarily lifestyle intervention and behavior techniques, but efforts to increase children's activities have little effect. In the United States, drugs are not approved by the FDA for this age group. Multifactor behavioral change interventions including changes in diet and physical activity are potential minimal benefits and low evidence but may reduce the BMI for children between the ages of 6 and 11 in the short term
