Grinding with a number of medical research literature, themes and children's literature, it is quite clear that the drug in childhood obesity is simply the case that the caloric intake of children is an appropriate amount of exercise taken. It 'clear that if a child drinks a few cans of soft drinks for the same child is to spend the extra 300 calories and 20 teaspoons of sugar, each of which is "worked off" and avoiding obesity. It is estimated that it would take 1 hour intense high-impact aerobic work out those 300 calories.
We were led to believe, to prevent childhood obesity are complex and cumbersome, requiring a team of nutritionists, fitness experts, educators and researchers, even in private to ensure that our children do what they said.
Ute Fumeaux, CEO and founder of the education of their children-toys.com is a mother of three and former aerobics instructor. His background means he understands the need for all of us to move more. Ute has always encouraged her children to eat a variety of delicious, healthy, natural, unprocessed, raw foods. These are his guys, but these traits are very small part of the daily caloric needs for children.
Professor Gary Egger Deakin University and author of several books including "Gut Busters" agrees with the practice of Ute said the problem is that we and our children are getting fatter. During the past 20 years, Australians have been gaining weight at a rate of one gram per day. But we eat less than our grandparents, why all that extra weight? Professor Egger believes that technology is the main culprit. We have so many devices to do things for us that we have become lazy. In fact, it uses less energy than 800 calories each day than we did in 1970.
"I do not think the human body is prepared for the technological revolution," said Professor Egger.
Social factors also contribute to the overall slowdown in the movement, from the early years of a child. Parents are more reluctant to let their children play too far from home. Very often, the child's world is limited to a small house and yard.
And the television and a computer at home seem to poke out of a tree climbing and other outdoor activities to list the most popular hobby. Professor Egger said the evidence suggests that television viewing is really slow down your metabolism, making it difficult to burn excess calories. The fast-food company in television and the culture of fast food, growing by adding straps too.
The good news is that we do not have to give up all our favorite foods and we do not need to eat less. In fact you can eat more, if we eat differently, Professor Egger said. This is the high-fat foods, crisps and peanuts we eat that makes us gain weight. He suggested that we increase our consumption of raw fruits and vegetables and increase our physical activity.
Professor Egger is not suggesting we throw away our computers and Tech games, after all, part of what makes this world so interesting, all you have to say is that the balance of the whole. Of course, your child can spend an hour on the computer, watching TV or playing video games, but make sure he / she has spent at least an hour walk around kicking a ball, climbing trees, swimming, biking, playing chasing, growling, jumping on a trampoline or fun and other assets.
Prof. Egger'm not suggesting that your child eats ice cream or candy, it's just empty calories that are a tiny part of a diet full of raw fruits, vegetables, nuts ( where appropriate) and seeds, grains, lean meat.
Prof. Egger suggest you educate your child about healthy eating, involve them in the kitchen whenever possible (most mothers would be content with it) and educate them about the health benefits of regular exercise.
The central message to all children and parents must be that we all need to balance our caloric intake and energy production and ensure that we enjoy both.
