In many countries in the Western world, there is an obesity epidemic among children is becoming more serious. With
the advent of television, computers and video games, and now the
Internet, most people, especially children, to lead a more sedentary
life. This resulted in children receiving exercise less, thus gaining more and more weight. Therefore, children need more aerobic exercise as a way to fight against this (no pun intended) growing epidemic.
Another reason for aerobic exercise for children is that they require so that they grow and develop. Aerobic exercise will ensure your muscles are strong, and let your heart and lungs to fully develop.
With this new way of life, children's eating habits are progressively getting worse. Because junk food is so convenient, the children prefer to eat healthy foods and be quite apathetic to its own long-term health.
Are your children get the right amount of exercise? Unless you're a fitness professional, chances are you can not be sure. You want to make sure they get enough exercise, but not to the extent that its development will be affected. However, if you have concerns about the amount of exercise they get, there are several things you can do as a parent.
The first rule is that there will be a limit to the amount of television and computer are allowed to use during the day. There is no reason for children to be inside if there are dozens of things to do outside (assuming it does not rain!). Outside, encourage your children to do things that exercise
Why not climb trees with their friends? What's going on long walks in a local park? There are so many fun and enjoyable activities to do outside that are perfectly safe.
In addition to exercising, doing physical activities like climbing trees or building forts (or strengths construction trees!) Not only will you encourage your children to use mental abilities, but also a way for things children to exercise their social skills with other children in the neighborhood. The important part of this rule (as a parent) is that this rule will be respected at all times.
The next thing you want to do is have a rule that you always eat healthy at home, and this rule should be executed at any time! This rule applies not only to children but also to parents, so, as you see, it is a good example.
However, if your children are getting enough exercise and a healthy diet, the night of pizza for the odd dinner will not be harmful. It is only when the nights are spent at least 2 or 3 times a week will be bad.
The last rule is that no one eats in front of the television or computer. This will have the additional effect of having quality family time together to eat together at the table. In this way, all the problems that children may be discussed at the table.
If your children do not want to go out or are in the neighborhood, why not have a day of exercise of the family, the whole family did a physical activity together. This way, everyone in the family will get a good amount of aerobic exercise, not just children.
There is an epidemic increasingly apparent in the Western world where children are becoming obese do to a complete lack of aerobic exercise. It is essential that children get enough aerobic exercise as a way not only to prevent obesity but also the effects on long term health that will accompany their children when they reach adulthood.
Why not tell your children to turn off the TV, computer and video games now and go outside to get some exercise. As parents, it is necessary to explain short term and long term benefits for them. Their lives depend on it!
