Obesity in School Children

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reported that 60% (1 in about 6) of American children aged 6 to 11 years were victims of obesity related diseases that could shorten their lives It is. This is over 9 million children. (Tartamella, Herscher, and Woolstoon, 2004). These figures are shocking and cumbersome. As a community, will we encourage the most devastating epidemic disease? Childhood overweight and obesity is a public concern since unhealthy weight is rapidly becoming the most common nutritional problem in the K - 12 school group in the United States and around the world.

Older children develop obesity within a certain framework and develop according to their available exercise and nutritional levels and their specific genetic properties. In wealthy countries like Australia, this growth may be affected by lack of exercise and consumption of excess kilojoules. Currently, most children have obesity or obesity. This is a new occurrence factor in today's school problem. Today's children are not like this

Children are becoming obese and sick, and we are responsible. We love kids to die of food. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "Today, one in about five of the school-aged children ages 6 to 19 suffer from obesity." Because they spend a lot of time at school, children's lunch It is an important way to concentrate on nutrition. . There is nothing to do with what the children eat at lunch and what they actually give to them. Correcting this dislocation as soon as possible prevents the fact that "less than 15% of children from 4 to 8 years old consume the recommended amount of fruits and vegetables, unfortunately the intake varies with age" It helps. Reduction growth is 3 ".

NICE guidlines (2006) proposes a pyramid of obesity intervention designed to cope with all childhood obesity problems. First, the overall school approach is used to deal with the overweight and obesity levels of school-age children. Interventions are more likely to succeed if they are applied as a whole and are monitored daily if the children are encouraged to do a more healthy diet. This will encourage schools to encourage employees, students, guardians, or carers to adopt a healthy lifestyle with each other. We encourage school to emphasize the importance of a balanced diet. The balanced diet graphic format identifies foods and drinks that should be regularly eaten and foods that should restrict sugar, fat, and salt. Schools should encourage the implementation of sports activities such as participation in sports and physical education (PE). Walking, cycling, wrestling and walking are recommended
