In addition, disturbances in the daily routine and poor sleep are among the risk factors.
Whatever one may say, there are more and more fat children. In infancy, cheeky butuzy only touches everyone. But if Butuz remained cheeky, being already a preschooler, and then a teenager, this is a reason to worry.
The causes of childhood obesity are not always rooted in banal overeating or problems with hormones. Researchers from University College London (yes, all the same British scientists) have deduced three main factors due to which children get fat. Moreover, all three, at first glance, are absolutely not related to weight problems.
The first is bad habits. Not a kid, no. And his mothers. It turns out that if a woman smoked during pregnancy, then this can lead to a violation of the child’s motor skills. And then there is a direct connection with weight gain.
The second is a violation of the daily routine. If the child does not get enough sleep, then during the day he absorbs more calories than his “regime” peers. By the way, here the rampant gadgetomania matters: you can’t watch TV, play on a computer, phone or tablet before going to bed. You need to sleep in complete darkness, so that even the peephole on the included speakers does not burn. Otherwise – lack of sleep and a brutal appetite.
The third is ignoring breakfast. If a child categorically refuses to eat in the morning, do not be surprised that he grows in breadth faster than up. After all, breakfast was called the most important meal for a reason. I haven’t eaten in the morning – I did nasty things to my metabolism. The slowed down metabolism, in turn, “whispers” the body to make reserves.
And one more thing – the state of the nervous system affects the weight gain. Not only in children, of course, in adults too. The more you are nervous, the more often you are stressed, the more often you want to eat tasty treats. But if adults need to cope with their difficulties themselves, then parents are able to protect children from stress. At least partially. For example, to save him from family scandals. If you were impatient to quarrel with your other half – do it so that the child does not hear anything. Beat the dishes at the entrance.
