Learn how your healthy diet can positively influence your child & provide them with a healthy diet that will follow them a lifetime! Sedentary computer games, fast food, extended school hours – these are just a few examples of the things in today's world that influence our children's health. Your eating habits also have a big bearing on your child.According to The American Health Foundation, no less than one-fourth of our youth can be classified as overweight. That number continues to increase yearly at an alarming rate. It's becoming more and more common to hear about a young person suffering a heart attack or a stroke. Medical technology is reveling in its finest hour, yet stands with hands tied amid this nationwide crisis. Being overweight can lead to a variety of adult diseases: coronary heart disease, stroke, hypertension, diabetes, certain cancers, gallbladder disease, arthritis, gout and restricted mobility. Compared to normal-weight children, overweight children are sick longer, are more susceptible to complications from surgery, more susceptible to infections, and experience delayed healing. Menstrual problems are more prone in overweight females. There is also a self-image/self-esteem issue, which is critical to positive human development. Dietary Requirements Your child has much different dietary requirements than you do. If you are unsure of these requirements, meet with your Pediatrician and ask to be provided with guidelines.
