Nothing changes without changing something.
Many of our children suffer from obesity or weight issues due to too much sugar in their diet.
It can be tough, but cutting down on sweetened drinks and sugar laden foods will help, and eating more natural meats, vegetables and nuts etc.
Child obesity is far too big of a problem to ignore, and unfortunately, we are setting our kids up for lifelong weight problems unless we start changing the foods they eat.

∙ 12y agoFrom a young age, children should be offered a wide range of healthy food options and kept away from processed food with little nutrition to train their tastes to like the better choices. Limit the amount of sugar based foods (sugared cereals, candy, cookies and baked good) and drinks (sodas and powdered drinks). As well, limit the higher fat contents by baking instead of frying foods and reading labels for percentage of fat in items. Provide healthy snacks like fruit and nuts and yogurt.
Besides the food they eat children need exercise. Instead of watching television or sitting in front of a computer game have them go outside and play ball with friends or ride a bicycle.

∙ 10y agoInfluence them with their eating habits.
Parents hold the key to reducing child obesity, and it is up to us to set a good example for our kids by eating more healthily.
We also need to influence and better understand what they eat, and most importantly, we need to eat more natural (unprocessed foods) and reuce sugar in our diet.
These tow things along with some exercise if that is possible will all make a positive difference for children in reducing child obesity.
