Slim – youth!

Give your child a beautiful figure

Medical examination of sport school. Beginners-pervogodki huddle against the wall, waiting for admission. In the study measured height, weigh, check the pressure. The girl, height – 120 cm, weight – 35 kg. Pressure increased. And she’s only 6 years … “In the past this was not – sigh doctor – now every second child is overweight. And what a shame how many parents do not talk about it – can not hear! It is believed that self will, the child will outgrow. But grow units – the rest are doomed for life to carry the extra weight, and vseemte with illness and complex. ”

About how it was before, is remembered by many. In kindergarten and summer camp children taken “by weight”, and reported for the year or a change in grams and kilograms suffixed. Children were abundantly rich in calories and are still here and a receipt for payment of services of a kindergarten called “zhirovkoy.”

Today, pediatricians, and with them, sociologists and educators are alarmed thick beefy children is becoming more and more.

Who’s to blame? Advertising, imposed on the public image puhloschekogo baby as an ideal (not only understandable, which was then taken cachectic model). New eating habits, including fast food and a lot of over-sugary and fatty foods, sedentary lifestyle, in which the third day we and our children spend watching television or computer.

To answer the question: “What?” Is much more complicated. First of all, because the parents have pledged to change the settings as a child, what and how much to feed your baby. But after entering the path of proper nutrition, you give the children something more than an opportunity to receive a daily dose of necessary energy. They are waiting for a healthy future, but it is much more important.

Excess weight is not taken anywhere. His appearance is always a reason. The most common – overfeeding a child. Few of the parents doing it deliberately. But while our children are very young, very difficult to determine how much food they actually need. Listening to the wailing grandparents that grandchildren quite thin, try as quickly as possible to introduce solid foods, and then translate the crumbs on the overall table.

Meanwhile, scientists have proved that the path to a beautiful figure begins with the first months of life. Want to son or daughter did not have a weight problem, try to breastfeed as long as possible. If breastfeeding does not work – obey doctors’ recommendations and not rush to lure. 5-6 months mixture adapted to satisfy all the needs of the infant.
My daughter was born with a fatty. But nobody ever told us about the extra weight, until we came to the sports school. Now we do not know what to do. Of course, it does not interfere with weight loss, but it does not harm the health of the baby?

First of all, you can determine whether the child is healthy, and not whether the reasons lie overweight in any serious illness. If health is all right. It is necessary to deal with the food.

Basis of the ration should be baby vegetables, fruits, lean meats and dairy products. It is very important to organize the diet and is strictly by the hour. Children three meals a day are not enough – they must eat more often but in small portions.

Sometimes it seems that all the problems lie in the snack. In fact, just a bite does not break out the appetite. However, provided that it is a useful and low-calorie foods. Supper child should complete no later than 19.00! Before going to bed is allowed to eat some fruit or drink a glass of kefir.

Quite often, they write that the baby should have his own dishes. It is important also that this ware was smaller. It even small portions of nutritious meals will seem reasonable. Pick a favorite child of a small spoon and fork – would then have to recruit more food and repeated hand movements are deceiving the brain and create the illusion satiation. Make sure your child to chew food. But portions of the proposed low-calorie foods (salads) must be large enough.

The problem of small people eating

Feeding problems began when his son moved to one table. He then refused to eat some food, then ate three spoonfuls, and in any did not want to continue. Then it became clear that the baby can not stand raisins and dishes with natural berries. Sometimes it seemed to me that the baby draws its energy from the air!

Among preschoolers are very common maloezhki. Feeding the child is not easy – it is “poklyuet” quite a bit. A more fastidious maloezhki terrible: they do not eat it, you do not like. And if my grandmother or my mother managed to find a dish that your child likes to feed them crumbs begin with triple the force. But for some reason, kids rarely choose from a variety of eating the “right” foods. But the pancakes, pies, candy absorb with great pleasure. At the age of 6-9 years, almost all children begin to eat normally. But at this point the wrong dietary habits have been formed, and therefore, the child is gaining weight quickly, get rid of is not so easy. How do I prevent this from happening? Maintain healthy habits at home. If a kid sees, what foods they eat, his parents, he gradually gets used to eating right. If the family in honor of fatty, sweet, the “fast” food, problems with excess weight can not be avoided.
Our daughter did not eat one day, we tried not to feed her, waiting to be asked. But six hours is not sustained and fed. If a girl asks anything from food, we’re running a race to the store – only the child is not hungry. And of course allow her to bite if she asks, even while walking.

Food – a source of energy, and if her child missing, he’s healthy, cheerful and happy, then all you need it receives. Where? Try for 1-2 days to offer baby food, making sure not to eat it. At the same time keep a food diary. Only need to write to all the food that falls crumbs into his mouth. And the lollipop from her grandmother, and a banana, eaten on the walk, and a crust of fresh bread, stuck on the table. No snacks themselves are not dangerous. But only if they are few and consist of the right foods. Fruits, vegetables, juices, unsweetened bread is not slaughtered appetite, but a piece of chocolate, even the smallest, will lead to a denial of lunch. The results of observation of children shows that kids are still eating, but not what you want, and not at the table.

The optimum ratio

When my oldest son was born, he was sucking well and added weight in accordance with all the tables, hanging in the children’s clinic. Daughter is born ate very little, sucking slowly, falling asleep while nursing. If the doctor does not support, it would grow iskusstvennitsey. Girl and the now slimmer peers, but does not look haggard, not sick, but I still doubt whether it is sufficient that the amount of food she eats.

Ratio of proteins, fats and carbohydrates in infant formulas should be 1:1:4 – this ratio allows for maximum absorption of these components the child’s body.

Preschool daily menu looks like this:

40% – vegetables and fruits;
35% – of the daily volume – dairy products (milk, cottage cheese, sour cream);
15% – bakery, food made from flour, potatoes;
7% – meat, fish, eggs and legumes;
3% – fat, oil, sugar.

Products must be present on the table in various combinations. At the breakfast dishes to give a good first and third groups, for dinner – from the second and fourth, etc.

Thick and full of people

The hardest thing for a child in the fight against excess weight – to overcome the feeling of hunger. Most plump kids are constantly hungry. So, always at hand should be low-calorie foods. Fresh cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers can be eaten in any quantity in between meals. The main thing is to thoroughly washed and cut vegetables and fruits were expecting a child in a safe place.

Do not try to put the kid on “adult” diet – it would not help him! Weight loss need to be addressed systematically and continuously. Do not expect quick results. Your task is to lose weight, stay healthy.

What dishes to prepare a complete child? Not the first place all sorts of variations of stewed vegetables: stew, eggplant and squash caviar, meatballs and croquettes vegetables.

Soups better prepare the vegetable broth. Vegetable soup with cabbage, celery, onions, carrots, peppers, eggplant or zucchini with a little butter and cream well saturated, rich in vitamins and nizkokalorien. Children are very fond of potatoes, but its from the daily menu, it is desirable to exclude. Leave a dish of potatoes for weekends and holidays.

The child should eat lean meat, which is better to boil or put out. Garnish necessarily vegetables (pasta and cereal – a separate dish). Useful dish of vegetables with minced meat (stuffed cabbage, stuffed peppers). Rice is better to replace them in the buckwheat. Sausages, ham, not for children with excess weight!

The diet of the fish must be present. Its also better to boil or stew with vegetables. All sorts of useful seafood – seaweed, shrimp and squid meat. The meat patties squid can do or add to salad.

Dairy full of children is best to choose low-fat and natural (no artificial sweeteners and additives). In cottage cheese, natural yogurt or kefir good idea to add mashed fruit. Do not hurt a small amount of cheese, high fat content – is a valuable source of calcium.

It is desirable that white bread has disappeared from your home. His place can take the grain, bran and rye.

Paps should not be completely excluded from the diet. It is useful to prepare meals with vegetables, breakfast cereals can offer a child with skim milk.

Canned not useful as a thin and full of children. This is a food and travel polar nowadays on the shelves is enough fresh food for baby food.

Do not accustom children to the sweet tea. Fruit juices also need to choose sugar-free and diluted by half with water, and even better to give preference to freshly squeezed juices. And be sure to include in the diet of the child clean, still water. Well, if the crumb learned to quench their thirst with it. Confectionery in the diet, try to replace the different fruits, dried fruits and nuts. Children are very useful full pineapples.

Quite difficult to stick to the diet if the child attends kindergarten. Ask teachers to reduce the portion of the proposed half, not giving the baby pasta, replacing them with vegetables as possible.

If you’re determined to take care of the healthy weight son or daughter, be ready to eat from now on so the whole family. The child is difficult to explain why mom can be a muffin or a candy, but he does not. Such a diet is quite suitable for adults and elderly family members, it is very diverse and covers all the needs of the organism.

It is clear that to teach the little man is healthy food is not easy. But the goal justifies the means here, so try to connect the imagination and interest of the child healthy food. So, fruits and vegetables look much more appetizing if their beautiful and unusual cut, boring mess you can “paint” by adding a finished product or vegetable juices. Use slices of fruit and vegetables on porridge or mashed easily “draw” funny faces. Drinks can not drink from the usual mugs and glasses of a nice through a straw. Many kids love smoothies, but are easily prepared from vegetable and fruit juices with added buttermilk, yogurt or sour cream. Adorable kids, you can add nuts and cereal, and salad.

It is often full of children grow up in families where food – a recognized source of pleasure. Try to shift the focus, offering the joy of a child other sports, walking, socializing with peers.

Buy a beloved child of bike and scooter, let it be balls, jump ropes and rollers. The swimming pool, skate. Be sure to locate the home place for the sports corner – they enjoy climbing on the wall bars, ropes and hang on the bar.

Older child can get a dog, provided that 4 times a day he would walk the four-legged friend. Reading and TV while eating are not allowed – now we sit down to eat, rather than engage in the ten things at once.

Teen diet

Much more difficult to establish a proper diet of adolescents. Adolescence is characterized by rapid growth, which is sometimes added to intense physical activity. Energy and nutritional needs are very high. At the same time on the gastronomic predilections influence friends and teenage groups. Usually by that age eating habits already formed, but teenagers tend to ignore the family taboos become more frequent meals outside the home. Can not be discounted advertising and the media, constantly offering new temptations: chocolate bars, fizzy drinks, crisps and, alas, beer and alcoholic drinks.

In adolescents, increased appetite. But often they do not realize that there should not horrible, and certain foods. And to help children growing up correctly to make the diet should be parents.

In view of rapid growth and hormonal changes teens experience an increased need for protein. Preferable to animal proteins contained in meat, poultry, fish. Vegetarianism, which we can speak as an adult, teenagers absolutely contraindicated – the result could be iron deficiency anemia. Teens often lack calcium, which leads to diseases of the musculoskeletal system: scoliosis and other postural disorders in school children, low back pain and osteoporosis – are older. The main source of calcium are milk, dairy products, especially cheese.

The diet of a teenager must be a full and balanced in content of protein, vitamins and minerals. This can be achieved by taking vitamin and mineral supplement designed specifically for teens.

Another problem of the period – the desire to lose weight – is fraught with serious consequences (anorexia, malnutrition). Many teenagers fixated on the imitation of standards imposed by media figures. The girls sit on unbalanced diets, and the boys addicted to anabolic steroids, which can lead to uncontrolled obesity and problems with reproductive function. Here, parents should not dismiss the children’s problems. And to help your child cope. The use of diet during adolescence is permissible, but must be well thought out and supervised by the specialist.

Adolescents need to explain what can be consumed without restrictions, and passion which products will lead to further weight gain and metabolic disturbances. You should also increase physical activity. It is important not only to obtain the necessary amount of essential nutrients, but also the right to spend it.

Save harmony from an early age is much easier than life jumping from diet to diet. Take care of your children now – and, as adults, they will surely tell you “thank you”.
