Childhood Obesity and How to Combat It!!

Published by Jim Bloodsworth — 10-16-2018 11:10:25 PM


With the increase in fast foods, plus the increased availability of electronics and the cyber world, childhood obesity has become nationally recognized as an epidemic.

This chronic condition has increased rapidly over the past years with many more children becoming the next generation of obese teens, and eventually obese adults and obese seniors. With obesity being one of the leading causes of morbidity, disability, discrimination, and employment problems, it has become one of the biggest public problems since tobacco use and exposure.

Bad eating habits are not the only culprit; genetic diseases that can predispose children to become overweight cannot be forgotten. However, still playing a larger role in the general overall population are bad eating and exercise habits which equates to poor life style choices. Parents play a key role in standardizing life style choices for their children.

Yes, we all get lazy! Including getting lazy with discipline!

Professionals are treating this as a major public health concern that is threatening to damage our most precious resources: our children. Introduction of healthy play, healthy food choices, and recreation that promotes physical activity is on the top of the list for discussion and plans for battling this epidemic.

The annual National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention came to the conclusion that as many as one third of U.S. children are either overweight or at high risk for childhood obesity. The health problems that will begin to manifest themselves from the excessive weight of such young children will start kids down a road toward problems such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and increased risk of diabetes. These are diseases usually reserved for adults, not children.

Combating this troubling condition must, however, begin at home with the caregivers for these children. Improving the overall diet, not just dieting, and regular exercise are the keys to resolving the problem. Protecting childrens' health now and in the future will depend greatly on education of parents and caregivers in order to implement healthy daily living strategies.

Parents and guardians of children do have to help!

NowLifestyle is a program created and designed for overall health and wellness. Not only will this program help parents and guardians, but it will put the focus on family fitness and healthy lifestyle choices for all.

Preventing an at-risk child from becoming overweight can start the process of a healthy and active lifestyle to ensure longevity and energy throughout the child's life. Little things such as: not getting into power struggles with the child over food, never using food as a behavior modification tool and setting a good example are some good starting points. These not only reinforce the good behavior but may create psychological behavior patterns that are healthy.

Emphasizing positive behaviors and the benefits of changing behavior can make all of the difference in the world. Just fostering the child's natural inclination to please you, have fun and explore are perfect opportunities to introduce fitness routines, and reduce such behaviors as eating out of boredom. If these things are done with every child in danger of becoming obese, then the numbers suffering will likely decrease.

Therefore, you should always keep in mind your own health and that of your children. By keeping in shape yourself and following a healthy diet, you can impress upon them the importance of being a health-oriented individual. These habits will stay with them throughout their lives. But don't forget that you will also have quite a few benefits from eating healthy and slimming down. If you shed your extra weight, you will feel much better about yourself.

Its time to moderate cell phone use, video games and most electronic devises. These have all become babysitters for your children.

HI there! I'm Jim Bloodsworth. I'm an engineer and scientist by education and vocation, retired federal civil servant, and have been cultivating my entrepreneurial spirit for a while. I love my Savior Jesus Christ, my family, photography, travel, most things outdoors, and all things aquatic, including swimming, snorkeling and SCUBA diving. I've recently become focused on staying healthy into retirement, and helping others do the same. Could it be because I'm now officially a senior citizen, or because I have buried both of my parents, or because my wife suffers from diabetes, sleep apnea and atrial fibrulation, or some combination of them? Probably.
