How to prevent childhood obesity more effectively

Childhood obesity can be said to be relatively common, especially among children who are spoiled by their parents. Because they are too indulgent to their children, they give them all kinds of food, which is also a cause of obesity. Therefore, we must pay attention to letting children eat scientifically and urge them to exercise.

1. Parents and grandparents should have the same opinions

First of all, you need to enlist the support of all family members, especially grandpa and grandma. Otherwise, if they are soft-hearted, and their parents urge their children to lose weight while their grandparents provide them with plenty of nutrition behind their backs, or even directly deny their parents' actions, then the road to weight loss will surely be full of obstacles.

2. Eat a balanced diet, including both meat and vegetables

Most obese children like to eat meat but not vegetables, which makes them seriously lack certain nutrients. Therefore, parents should gradually cultivate their children's good habit of eating everything.

A child's eating habits are rarely innate; they are mostly determined by the example set by their parents. If you tell your child that a certain food is nutritious and delicious, but you stay away from it every time, it will make your child more disgusted with it and cause your baby to develop a picky eating habit. Therefore, when parents try to get their children to eat more vegetables, they must also set a good example themselves.

3. Don’t overeat, eat small meals frequently

In kindergarten, the children are sometimes a little hungry when eating, and their mother has repeatedly told the teacher that they don’t need to feed their children until they have almost finished eating.

At home, mothers should also be careful not to let their children eat unlimited amounts of whatever they like, so as not to stretch their children's stomachs, which will make them eat more. Generally, children can eat some fruits between meals to prevent them from eating too much due to hunger during meals.

4. Drink more juice and water, and less sweet drinks

Most obese children love to drink carbonated drinks such as Coke and Sprite. These drinks are high in sugar and calories. If they drink too much, it would be strange if the baby does not get fat.

Therefore, controlling your baby's intake of carbonated beverages is an important way to help your baby lose weight.
