Prevention of childhood obesity Don't let children lose on the starting line

The dangers of childhood obesity
First we through an example to more accurately understand this headache for most of the parents of children obesity problem.For example my neighbor liu, actually not too old, ha ha, he is 46 years old this year, although a successful career, but a disease.His BMI nearly 35 (height 1.76 meters, weight 108 kg), still have hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and diabetes.And, when speaking of reason, he always regret learning care physician said: "the hours not heard, delay for my life ah".Listen to his own, his house is good, because of the condition and family also lived abroad, so compare advocating western diet.Uncle liu, is a clever naughty little guys.Besides play video games with the guys, he biggest preference is to eat.Loose rolls, chicken sausage, or French fries and hamburgers is his main variety of food for dinner, drinks are often drink coke or whole milk, ice cream is his favorite dessert.To sit in front of the television as long as there will be a bag of popcorn, he kept eating every day, like the belly full of feeling.His favourite food is high quantity of heat, high fat, high sugar food, so at a young age he had already reached 40 kg, a medical doctor remind his parents, Liu Shu should lose some weight.But he doesn't want to listen to parents nag, the sweet fat, sugar, sweet temptation too much, he is difficult to control themselves...So cause he is now the status quo, to his chagrin.

Childhood obesity not only affects the life of childhood, learning and health, is a hotbed of cultivate adult diseases, buried under today's adult high blood pressure, heart disease, arteriosclerosis, tumor, diabetes and other diseases.Obesity in children, especially babies are mainly caused by body fat cell number increase, adult obesity is fat cells volume increase, but - a sort of method reducing weight can make fat cells shrink volume.So the child obesity is harder to treat adult obesity.

What is fat
From the example above, the term also involves a lot of fat, you may be wondering that is how closely linked with fat?Next, I'll take you into the world of the fat to go further to explore.
Fat, can be said to be famous, everyone knows, however, also can saying is notorious.Because, a mention of fat, everyone always nervous, afraid, think of it as obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, cardiovascular disease and tumor onset of chronic diseases such as the culprit.In fact this is just one aspect of fat, but a lot of credit for it.

In fact, the fat is not bad, it is one of the essential six major nutrients, the benefits to the human body can be said to be there.First of all, the fat is one of the important food ingredients, supply the body's energy fat 1 g can provide 9 kcal of energy, protein and carbohydrates, many than the;Second, we can in the subcutaneous fat place such as storage, is the body's "energy" warehouse;Third, in the chest and abdominal fat to protect and support the internal organs, so that when you exercise, internal organs will not be "so anxious";Fourth, fat can also supply the body essential fatty acids and promote the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.In addition, the fat and help the body heat insulation heat preservation, and other functions.Everybody likes fat tasty cooking when put oil, natural tastes too sweet.

Family of fatty acids of the communist party of China has three brothers, saturated fatty acids, polyunsaturated fatty acids and unsaturated fatty acids.Saturated fatty acids - the most introverted disposition in three brothers are the rigid for the saturated fatty acids.He is withdrawn, acting independently, so not easy to break down consumption, it is always deposited in our bodies, is the main culprit makes us fat.It usually "live" in red meat (beef, pork, for example), dairy and vegetable oil, palm oil, coconut oil.Recommended daily intake of no more than 10% of the total calorie intake.Polyunsaturated fatty acids: it completely opposite and character of the unsaturated fatty acid.Polyunsaturated fatty acids is extremely active, extensive communication, can reduce bad cholesterol (LDL cholesterol in the blood) concentration, also reduce good cholesterol (high density lipoprotein cholesterol in the blood) concentrations, it can provide essential fatty acids.Polyunsaturated fatty acids is easy to oxidation, produce harmful substances of lipid peroxide and free radical, can cause harm to human body.So the polyunsaturated fatty acid intake is not the more the better.Recommended daily intake of no more than 10% of the total calorie intake.Its "residence" include: plant oil, fish and nuts.Monounsaturated fatty acids, monounsaturated fatty acid character between saturated fatty acid rice polyunsaturated fatty acids, personality is the doctrine of the mean, properly reduce bad cholesterol, maintain or raise good cholesterol, so it is the most healthy to our body fatty acids.Recommended daily intake of no more than 1, 0% of total calories.It "live" in the peanut, olive, olive oil, peanut oil.

Since unsaturated fatty acids have such a good effect, so there are successful cases in the health food industry.About brain gold, but the rage in China, almost become the parents of students, especially in the home has children parents love, graduation advertising because it is the nourishment of brain.

 The so-called "brain gold", it is of polyunsaturated fatty acids docosahexaenoic acid taglines, abbreviations are DHA.The earliest to reveal this mystery is the brain of DHA nutrition institute professor croft and Japan famous nutritionist Mr By professor of beauty.Their results showed that DHA is to promote brain development, growth, one of the important material.There are more than 140 neurons of the brain, and DHA abounds in brain cells, is a major component of brain cells, is the basis of cephalin and brain cell membrane, growth, development and function of cells plays a very important role, is a necessary material formation and intelligence development of the human brain.Outside the DHA on visual and brain activity, fat metabolism, fetal growth and immune function and prevent senile dementia have enormous impact, lack can cause a series of symptoms, including growth retardation, abnormal skin scales, sterility and mental retardation, etc.

 Since brain gold has such a magical effect, that if everyone can take, and the more the better?It's not.DHA supplementation preparation like vitamin supplements, people want to only play its health care function, and the reasonable ratio of DHA in the human body, is not the more the better, an overdose may also affect balance, will affect children's health.
