Food habbits of children leading to obesity

As parents we love our children and take care in giving good food rich with all necessary ingredients that will help them in their growth. Buts its not our love and care we are giving them if we over do this as it will lead to obesity in our children and no one else but we are to be blamed for this.

The food patterns of children especially those children who have made it a habbit of eating while watching television is becoming a threat day by day. The numbers of cases reported with similar problems are having the same problem of excess of junk food consumption. This is very evident as the children are not aware of the amount of food they are consuming or gobbling sitting in front of the Television.

One good step that could be done to avoid this food consumption is to make it strict to have food on the dining table alone. The daily soaps and reality shows have made almost every body in the house to concentrate more on television and knowingly or unknowingly a deliberate attempt to shift the dining hall to the television room or the television to the dining hall has took place which should be rectified soon to make sure your family is healthy again.

For children more care has to be given as they are almost addicted to junk food stuff and this lessens their interest in home made healthy food. Make them have their share of food at correct intervals and find some time to cook some healthy food at home too rather than depending on packed foods. A little effort from your side is all that is required to make your family healthy and to begin with it eat healthy to stay healthy.

Take care…….
