Border Line Purge To Fitness

Since parents leverage influence on the level of approximately 72% of what and how much their children eat on a daily basis , it's important for parents to do all they can to sway the trend away from child obesity, which currently stands at 15% in America. The Mayo Clinic suggests that children are simply eating too much and exercising too little.

According to research from KidsHealth.org, television can be a cause. This is because of a correlative discovery that reads, "kids who watch more than 4 hours a day are more likely to be overweight compared with kids who watch 2 hours or less". They also say that, "not surprisingly, TV in the bedroom is also linked to an increased likelihood of being overweight".

Some other factors that contribute to the onset and unfortunate experience of the disease include a low socio-economic status, no emphasis on exercise at public school, absence of recreational centers, fear of criminals - which precludes going for walks, and the ready availability of high-calorie, low-nutrient foods that promote fat storage, no appetite satiation, and cravings for more bad junk food. Certain hormones are not released when additives such as high-fructose corn syrup, sugar, MSG, and artificial amino acid derivatives are added to food, and children just keep eating because their brain is telling them that their bodies are not full.

Unprocessed or minimally-processed complex carbohydrates and unadulterated protein foods - the simple things - like cottage cheese, vegetable omelets, and yams with olive oil and sea salt can get your children thinner without sacrificing their desire for good food.

The main ingredient is a desire to make a difference in the health of your child.
