There are different reasons for children become overweight or obese. In addition to genetics, other factors should be taken into consideration and one of the most importance is how these children are being fed.
In what concerns children’s nutrition, parents and other child care providers should pay attention to serve balanced and healthy meals.
Stay firm and help them establish a healthy relationship with food:
- Avoid fats and sugars.
- Avoid fried food.
- Avoid fatty food.
- Avoid food with low nutritional value (like fast food).
- Diet low in sodium.
- Serve small portions.
- Don’t forget vegetables and fruit.
- Serve at least one thing you know the child will eat.
- You should also have healthy eating habits to set the example.
- Improve exercise habits of all the family!
