How to Prevent Childhood Obesity?
Ways to Prevent Childhood Obesity
If the causes of an undesirable situation are known, it is quite easy to combat it. But practically, it is easier than done. Unlike adults, young kids seldom get to choose the food they eat, or understand the prospective consequences of their eating behavior or lifestyle. Listed here are some ways to prevent childhood obesity.
1. Resist temptation
It is a little difficult, but there is nothing better than resisting tempting food, particularly junk food.
2. Develop Healthy Habits
Cutting down on the static period before the TV and computer, indulging in physical exercises including sports, games and activities like running, jogging, cycling, swimming etc., consuming nutritious food are some ways to reduce obesity and check further accumulation of fat.
Childhood obesity is considered a serious public health issue. It is now ubiquitous, mostly prevalent, but not necessarily limited to lower and middle-income families.
