How to prevent/ tackle Obesity in Children
There are 2 ways you can help your child to stay slim or tackle obesity: exercise and a healthy diet. It may be obvious but an increasing number of parents are finding its an issue, so here are some ideas on exercise.
Exercise
- be a good role model by exercising yourself and letting your child see you
- try different sports to motivate and interest your child, ask him or her what they want to try
- remember the childhood games that you played such as tig, and teach them to your child
- stop using the car for short journeys and instead walk or bike
- limit your child’s use of the TV and gameboys etc. You’ll then be suprised how many games they can think of with just a bat, ball, frisbee and skipping rope.
Heathy diet ideas are to follow.
