Hey everyone, you know yesterday I was working out at a gym when I realized something, all the adults are pushing and killing themselves to achieve rapid weight loss. But what about the children? I suddenly thought about the children because I saw a very chubby boy eating an ice cream pass by outside the gym window. We all are so concerned with our own body and weight that we forget our children’s obesity risks.
According to yahoo.news.com
“If your child is at an unhealthy or even dangerous weight, and weight-loss efforts at home aren’t successful, you may want to try a professional weight-loss program.
The Cleveland Clinic offers the following recommendations when choosing a child’s weight-loss program:
The program should employ an array of health professionals, including physicians, dietitians, psychiatrists and exercise physiologists.
Your child’s overall health should be evaluated before any weight-loss program begins.
The program should include the entire family, rather than focusing only on the child.
Look for a program that is geared specifically for your child’s age group and has different programs based on age.
Programs should focus on behavioral changes, teaching how to choose healthy foods in variety and portion size, and promoting physical activity.”
I think this article should open the eyes of many parents and perhaps they will help their chidlren for rapid weight loss before they also get trapped in the epdiemic called obesity.
