Childhood obesity indicators and solutions

August 8, 2016
Childhood obesity indicators

Knowledge of childhood obesity indicators and solutions will be very essential in the total elimination of children’s weight gain

Childhood obesity indicators and solutions: Dealing with the root course of the problem

Dealing with the weight related problem in our children is a very costly affair. And to address this effectively, we must begin from the genesis where we identify all the childhood obesity indicators and find solutions before the problem get out of hand. It may be true that quit a number of obese adults today have given up on finding solutions to their own weight problems and by doing anything to help themselves, the younger generation cannot escape the problem of weight gain. It is because of this fact that we all need to impact positively on our children feeding habits so that as they grow up, they will be good role models for their children our grandchildren.

I know that the statistic we have from various studies and research done by different professionals and institutions can be very discouraging, but then again we owe it to our children to get past the statistics and stand on top of everything and make the much needed difference in the lives of our children. In the previous postings, I ones wondered why we must allow our children to become part of the statistic? Of what good do we have when our children are being classified as overweight or obese? This doesn’t just happen but it is the direct result of a number of behaviors including the following:

Childhood obesity indicators and solutions: Processed foods

The continuous consumption of processed foods which are ordinarily rich in added fat, sugar and salt is the major reason. Such food stuff specially fried potatoes, sugar-sweetened soft drinks, ice cream, meat pies and margarine are every ones favorites but health wise we should keep distance from using them frequently.

Besides the love for what is commonly referred to us as junk foods, these foods are for commercial purposes and anything in them is sugar coating and does not really add the much needed value to your health. Therefore bringing up children away from such meals by encouraging homemade food is a step in the right direction. Of course ones in a while you may want to treat your children to these food stuff, and that is not bad so long as it is done in close supervision and measures taken so that a repeat or addiction doesn’t occur in the process.

Childhood obesity indicators and solutions: Ignoring fruits and vegetables

The young children are often not funs of fruits and vegetables. We will be doing them a great disservice if we do not train them into feeding in a more healthy way. What is in their view not testy and appealing is actually the best. Therefore, encouraging healthy feeding habits into the new generation becomes the ultimate goal all of us must embraced says doctor Dalal Akoury

Childhood obesity indicators and solutions: Eating while watching television

Taking evening meals while concentrating on your favorite television program is not just bad, but very unhealthy. This will most likely encourage over eating and elimination of exercise. Gadgets like television, iPads computers and other form of screen can be very addictive if proper control is not exercised by the adults on the children. In active children will most likely grow into the future packing on more weight and eventually obesity.

Type 2 diabetes disease relationship with being overweight

August 7, 2016
Type 2 diabetes disease relationship

Type 2 diabetes disease relationship with being overweight are not a good combination that needs professional touch immediately.

Type 2 diabetes disease relationship with being overweight: Dealing with obesity to offer solution

There are many risk factors for type 2 diabetes disease some of which may include age, race, pregnancy, stress, certain medications, genetics or family history, high cholesterol and obesity. However, the single best predictor of type 2 diabetes is overweight or obesity. Experts at AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center under the leadership of doctor Dalal Akoury MD are estimating that up to 90% of people living with type 2 diabetes are overweight or have obesity. What that communicates is that people who are overweight or have obesity have added pressure on their body’s ability to use insulin to properly control blood sugar levels, and are therefore more likely to develop diabetes. One study has indicated that the number of diabetes cases among American adults increased by a third during the 1990s, and additional increases are expected. This rapid increase in the occurrence of diabetes is mostly attributed to the growing prevalence of obesity in the United States.

Prevention of diabetes

From an expert point of view, doctor Akoury agrees that type 2 diabetes can easily be prevented. And in fact studies have established that lifestyle changes and small amounts of weight loss in the range of 5-10% can prevent or delay the development of type 2 diabetes among high-risk adults. Lifestyle interventions including diet and moderate to intense physical activity (such as walking for 150 minutes per week) can be very effective in weight loss. Preventing weight gain, increasing activity levels and working toward small amounts of weight loss if you are overweight can have a big impact on the likelihood that you will develop diabetes in the future. Thus far, weight management is the best thing you can do to prevent the development of diabetes says doctor Akoury.

Working remedies if struggling with diabetes

According to doctor Akoury, there are several you can do to have a positive influence on your blood sugar and your overall health. You will need to make the right decisions by choosing foods wisely, exercising regularly, reducing your stress levels, making modest lifestyle changes and using medications to lower blood glucose levels. Type 1 diabetic patients must have insulin exogenously applied to maintain healthy blood glucose levels. Type 2 diabetic patients, however, can use insulin or drugs that sensitize their bodies to insulin, which work quite well in lowering blood glucose levels. Unfortunately, these drugs are not without risk as they, as well as the exogenous application of insulin, can often cause diabetic patients to suffer from low blood glucose levels (hypoglycemia) if taken improperly, which may result in seizures, unconsciousness, or death.

Small amounts of weight loss (losing 10 pounds or more) can decrease the amounts of these medications needed to keep your blood sugar levels within a healthy range by lowering your blood glucose levels, which furthermore reduces the risk of diabetic complications. Ultimately, better nutrition, increased physical activity, and control of blood glucose levels can delay the progression of diabetes and help prevent the complications associated with the disease.

Childrens weight gain treatment approach: Recommended weight loss for children

Seeing the pain that comes with weight related complications, childrens weight gain treatment must be adhered to the letter. Previously we saw that with childrens weight gain treatment is relatively different but whatever the case may be, we owe it to our children by all means. At no time must we let our children fall victims to weight gain says doctor Dalal Akoury, MD President and founder of AWAREmed Health and Wellness Resource Center. She reiterates that weight loss for kids should be our priority by all standards. It is said that teach a child the way he/she should go and when they grow up they will not depart from it. This can only mean that as parents if we start cooking healthier meals at home and a void restaurants food our kids will naturally eat healthier. Besides the food you serve at home, our focus should also be made on the kinds of food served to our children while at school. In the event that food in schools are not healthy, then consider packing for your child healthy meals as precautionary measure.

Childrens weight gain treatment approach: Overweight children age 7-9

We have already looked at children below age six in the previous article and you can make reference to that. Nonetheless for an overweight child aged 7-9, the goal is usually to help them maintain their weight, not necessarily achieve weight loss. In most cases, if you can keep your child’s weight steady for a while, she will grow into it. As parents we will have no choice but to take charge of food in the house. Weight Loss for Kids will require the effort both parents. Therefore, the first step is to be accountable for stocking your home with only healthy foods. Children of this age group will be having some levels of independence to the point of preparing such snack for themselves. It therefore means that the kinds of stock you have at home is what they will use.

Besides that your focus on the health and well-being of your family while grocery shopping can help prevent setting you and your child up for unnecessary daily tests, where failure can cause long-term health issues. One fun thing about kids this age is that they are old enough to help out in the kitchen. Take advantage of it. Making a healthy meal with your kid is a great way to talk about a good diet and expose them to new foods. Remember that making healthy eating the goal for the whole family will be easily adaptable by the children when they see that such are the foods for the whole family. Parents who practice what they preach will likely gain a more successful outcome all along the way for everyone.

Finally for those age 10 – 12 an expert opinion will be very vital and this is the time when calling doctor Akoury becomes necessary. Remember that at this age kids needs a lot of motivation to succeed in attaining their healthy lifestyle goals.

The technological advancement and coupled with the environment we live in are today the biggest contributor of obesity. The lifestyle habits betrays us a great deal in the following ways:

  • Lack of neighborhood sidewalks and safe places for recreation. Not having area parks, trails, sidewalks, and affordable gyms makes it hard for people to be physically active.
  • Work schedules doesn’t allow us time to be active since most of the work are done while seated.
  • Oversized and unhealthy food portions. We are exposed large quantities of food portions in restaurants, fast food places, gas stations, movie theaters, supermarkets, and even at home. Some of these meals and snacks can feed two or more people. Eating large portions means too much energy IN. Over time, this will cause weight gain if it isn’t balanced with physical activity.
  • Lack of access to healthy foods due to high cost or the healthy food stuff are not just available in the neighborhood.

It therefore means that inadequate sleep, ghrelin shoots up and leptin decreases and the consequence of this is that you will feel hungry and possibly demand for something to eat.
