Preventing Obesity In Children
While many people may equate their health with the number they see when they step on a scale, your Body Mass Index (BMI) is generally accepted to give a more accurate indication of your health than your weight alone. BMI is more accurate in this regard because instead of merely weighing the body, it also takes height into consideration.
While these activities of themselves are not incredibly harmful in moderation, they can be destructive to your child's health if they become the sole pursuits of their free time.
According to this diet, good carbs come from colorful fruits and vegetables, while foods like bread, pasta, and other grains should be limited or avoided. The eating schedule is fairly strict for this diet, breaking the day down into three meals and two snacks. The first meal needs to be within an hour of waking, you should never go more than five hours without eating, and should have a snack before bedtime.
Dr. Sears asserts that following this diet will change the way hormones work in your body to have a greater anti-inflammatory effect. Hormones like insulin and glucagon are produced as a result of foods we eat (or don't eat) to regulate blood sugar levels.
Due to the BMI's inability to deliver a sufficiently accurate measurement, some scientists and medical researchers have been turning to other methods of determining one's physical health. One of these is the Body Adiposity Index (BAI).
As you work to understand what 'healthy' is for your child, begin to introduce them to activities that get them up and moving. Pay attention to which ones they enjoy and encourage them in those pursuits. If needed, put a limit on the amount of sentient entertainment they pursue. Get them out in the sun and participating in sports, or games, or just the simple pleasures of biking or swimming.
Other factors that make this diet effective are that it is relatively easy to follow "one-third" and "size-of-palm" rules, and that online membership is free with inexpensive cookbooks available.
Also, let your children learn to make healthy dietary choices. Teach them what foods will give them the energy they need to be active. As you incorporate these foods into their diet, allow them to make their own choices, picking foods they like to eat from the selection of foods that are healthy.
While the medical community has yet to completely adopt a successor to the BMI measurement, the fact that there are accurate options to choose from is encouraging. With the number of people that use their BMI ratio as evidence that they need to fly down to Mexico for weight loss surgery, it pays to use a measurement that can tell you the true state of your body and your health before making such an important decision.
