What should I do if my child is fat and has a big belly?

People's lives are getting better and better now. Children can be said to be treasures in the hands of adults. Many adults spoil their children. Almost every meal is big fish, meat, fried chicken, and hamburgers. Many children don't like to drink water, but prefer to drink beverages. Children nowadays also exercise less, so many children nowadays are obese, and many children especially have fat belly. So what should we do if children have fat belly?

Lack of time for physical exercise and less than nine hours of sleep a day. Studies have shown that if you sleep less than six hours, the incidence of obesity will increase significantly. The reason is that lack of sleep affects the secretion of hormones such as leptin; academic pressure and other psychological problems can affect appetite. Some children tend to relieve stress by overeating and binge eating, which eventually leads to obesity and nutritional problems. In addition, genetics and family eating habits and lifestyle are also influencing factors.

Among children and adolescents aged seven to eighteen in major cities in mainland China, twelve out of every hundred boys are overweight and five are obese; seven out of every hundred girls are overweight and three are obese. The incidence of overweight and obesity has been increasing rapidly in recent years, while the physical fitness of students has been declining. Experts point out that the main reasons are the increase in the nation's overall energy intake, the increase in the intake of fast food, sugary and carbonated drinks, and sweets, and there are still misunderstandings about obesity and weight loss.

To prevent obesity, the causes of obesity must be eliminated. If it is caused by endocrine disorders, treatment should be the main focus. If you are simply obese, you should do the following in your life:

1. Mainly staple food. Overeating and overeating are the main causes of obesity. Because the main components of rice and flour are carbohydrates, eating too much can be converted into fat in the human body and accumulate under the skin. Therefore, it is best to eat until you are 80% to 90% full at each meal. At the same time, limit the intake of high-fat complementary foods.

2. Increase exercise. Not only should you increase the amount of exercise every day, but you should also extend the time of exercise. Because the initial stage of exercise consumes the carbohydrates in the body, only longer-term exercise can consume stored fat. Therefore, the daily exercise time should generally be no less than minutes, and you should choose sports that require more energy, such as long-distance running, skipping rope, playing basketball, playing football, swimming, climbing and other activities, and you should do it regularly and persevere.
