The treatment of obesity in children

prevention of childhood obesity should start from pregnancy

How can we prevent childhood obesity from so many hazards? Prevention of childhood obesity should start from pregnancy, start from daily life, pay attention to control children's diet, and let children exercise more.

1. Pay attention to weight control during pregnancy. Statistics show that the more weight gain during pregnancy, the heavier the weight of the newborn, the higher the probability of neonatal obesity, so prevention of childhood obesity should start from pregnancy.

2. Breastfeeding. It is one of the most effective measures to prevent the baby from obesity to breastfeed within 6 months after birth. Studies have shown that the proportion of non breastfed infants who are obese is 24, 6%, which is due to the fact that artificial feeding infants are more prone to over feeding.

3. Scientific addition of complementary food. It is recommended that children should be exclusively breastfed within 6 months, and do not add rice flour and other complementary foods to their milk too early.

4. Cultivate healthy eating habits. According to the age of children, reasonably arrange the daily diet, do not let the children have a meal of hunger and fullness, and avoid too greasy, fried food and too much starch food. When you are overweight, you should cancel snacks between meals, eat vegetables and fruits more, and don't let children eat fried and starch food more.

5. Exercise more. When you are overweight, you need to control your diet and exercise at the same time. Gradually increase the time and amount of physical activity. The activities should be diversified. Only by arousing the interest of children and making the activities stick, can it work.

6. Prevent TV obesity in children. Parents should attach great importance to children's watching TV for a long time.

Exercise should be strengthened in addition to diet control

Exercise is one of the effective ways to lose weight, at the same time, it can enhance physical fitness and reduce illness. During aerobic exercise, the energy source of muscle contraction activity is sugar at the initial stage. When the exercise lasts for more than 120 minutes, the energy supply of free fatty acids is as much as 50-70%. Sports suitable for children include long distance running, walking, swimming, kicking, skipping, relay running, cycling, etc. It should be noted that the exercise intensity of obese children should not be too high due to their heavy weight and poor cardiopulmonary function.
