In order Obesity No Return
There is truth in the philosophy of the Arabs about the diet. Desert people, in everyday life, has a principle: when morning was breakfast like a king, eat lunch and then when like prince, while at night is like a beggar eat.
In a disciplined person with such a diet, he closed the space to fall into the habit of snacking and eating patterns are not excessive. The problem is, this lifestyle often makes people Unable to be consistent with a pattern. Marginalizes even healthy diets. From parents, the habit down to her children.
A survey in the UK some time ago mentioned, became the parents who always blamed for poor diet of children now because they are considered most responsible.
Although respondent set the largest job (88 percent) is on the shoulders of parents, the child was eating patterns are also influenced by the school, food industry, and the media. Because when the children were asked what kind of food they like, usually will depend on the commercial on television shows. Especially when the food products brought out the stars of children or offering a reward, they will become fans instantly.
Something similar happened in this country. Look at the habits Farhan, 6.5 years. Every week, she invited her mother to the fast-food restaurant.
”I want the prize,”he said.
The mother of wonder, from where the boy knew there was a series of prizes if you buy packages of food in the restaurant.
”I knew from TV,”the answer is simple.
Because that’s the trigger like Ganesja Harimutri, child heart specialist Heart Hospital Harapan Kita, Jakarta, concluded that the children now so menggandrungi junk food.
Snacks”calorie and high salt content consumed a lot of kids now,”he said.
Not only that, they hooked snacking on cookies, ice cream, and candy that high sugar yield.
Practical mindset of parents who do not want to bother cooking becomes another reason for bad habits in children. Not to mention the lack of routine physical activity, which makes the accumulation of excess body fat and potentially obesity.
Pediatrician Children’s Hospital and Maternity Harapan Kita, Tinuk Great Meilany, in 2002 examined the prevalence of obese children in three private primary schools in East Jakarta. The result, the incidence of obesity of 27.5 percent. In theory, adolescents who have excess weight of obese potential.
According to nutritionist Melinda Hospital, Bandung, John Chandrawinata, when at primary school age are overweight in the percentile graphs Towards Health Card (KMS) children, the potential for obesity as adults is very large.
Excess calorie intake”will make fat cells grow and develop,”he said.
Therefore, the hypothesis Johanes: almost always the child of excess body fat remains consistent shape like that until they mature.
Hence, Johannes said the most effective measures to prevent obesity in children is the parents’ supervision. Parents are expected to always consider the diet of children, both in terms of quantity and quality of food, so that obesity does not happen to their children.
However, keep in mind, in addition to diet and lifestyle, the reasons of course affect the development of genetic obesity. Children with obese parents are obese is possible 10-fold compared with children who have parents with normal weight.
As obesity in children can result in a number of chronic diseases, namely disorders of glucose metabolism, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes in adolescents, hypertension, dyslipidemia, or a variety of disorders of the liver, gastrointestinal tract, and even sleep.
