Research has shown that the longer you breastfeed your baby, the less likely your
baby is to become overweight as he or she grows older. If you breastfeed your
child, you are making that child 15 – 25% percent less likely to become
overweight. And if you breastfeed for six months or longer than that, the
likelihood is 20 - 40 % less.
Also in Children and adolescents, because
young people don't get sufficient physical activity in combination with their
poor eating habits they generally become obese or overweight. Other factors
that contribute to a child's weight status are genetics and lifestyle.
Here are some steps I found out that
can help you prevent been overweight and obese during childhood and
adolescence. They can be useful for you too.
1.
Work gradually to change your family
eating habits and various activity levels rather than paying attention to
weight. Change these eating habits and then the weight will in return take care
of itself.
2.
Set good examples. Parents who are
physically active and eat healthy foods become role models and there is a
possibility their children will do the same.
3.
Encourage
more physical activity. Ensure your child has an hour or more of moderate
physical activity most days of the week. This may promote subsequent
maintenance and weight loss
I
also came across an online program than can help adults that are obese and it
is called The Cruise Control Diet by James Ward. There is something exceptional
about this program that I think you should find out.
