Obesity problems in children and adolescents
Introduction
Obesity is a chronic disease that Di is treatable through medicines and care, this appears when there is excess fat in our body, although some doctors such as Susana Moren, secretary of the Spanish society for the study of obesity, said: Obesity isA chronic disease because once the mechanisms spoil when one accumulates excess fat, they really do not cure, you always have to be watching.
Developing
These years have seriously increased the weight of children, since in these times there are very processed and high level of sugars;In the times of before this was given and who had it was very strange, since it is those times there was no poor diet, since there were no sugary drinks or processed foods
This means that a person regardless.
At present, about 17% of Spanish children suffer from obesity
Expert doctors in the health issue use the BMI (body mass index) This decides whether the child is considered overweight or obesity
The causes of this disease are multiple, although most believe that it is due to poor diet or that physical exercise is not done, it also occurs due to genetic factors that obesity occurs
It can also be caused by economic problems, since more than double with children with a higher economic level suffer from obesity than someone with lower economic level
Other factors is that it can be caused by stress or lack of sleep.
To prevent this we must feed ourselves in an adequate way avoiding sugars or excess calories, the diet that a child must have must be balanced and that has a bit of everything and if it is beginning to gain weight it is best to make a diet with several fruits,vegetables and meats.
Another way to prevent obesity is by physical exercise, according to Carlos Alberto López, a physical education professor, ‘exercise is the best to combat obesity and be able to stay well with health’
This is for more serious cases we can go to a psychologist who can help us overcome ourselves to deal with anxiety that is linked to most cases of obesity and help face the disease.
What is recommended to eat for a healthy and balanced diet is to replace carbohydrates by meat, since the meat has the effect of filling us, it is also very good to eat vegetables and fruits, since they have many minerals, but so far the most effective thingFor nutritionists it is to leave all the treats and things that contain a high caloric content and with many sugars.
According to WHO, "currently more than 1200 million people have weight/obesity problems" and the same number of people suffer from malnutrition
I think that the biggest problem for this is anxiety, since it doesn’t matter how much comma you want more simply for anxiety, and in homes the correct way of eating should not be taught. Let’s try to avoid these problems looking for ways to replace carbohydrates or how to cook vegetables so that they have a very good flavor, thus start little by little until we get used to, we can also drink enough water, since it gives the feeling of fullness we will eat less.
conclusion
In conclusion, we must think before eating without control and parents must pay attention to children, since we are what we teach them, which is good and bad for them and since childhood accustomed them to eating healthy.
