Child Nutrition:
Obesity and Nutrition
A child is considered obese if their weight exceeds the normal weight range for their height by 20 percent. While some children may have a predisposition for obesity through their genes--overeating, eating the wrong foods, and lack of exercise are all major contributors to the epidemic our society is facing today.
If you have an overweight child, contact your child's pediatrician before you place them on a diet. If you improperly place your child on a diet, their health could suffer. Reducing calories or cutting meals without the supervision of a physician can be detrimental to a child’s growth.
Most pediatricians will recommend that an overhaul be made in the child’s eating habits, with an emphasis on healthy eating. Pediatricians and nutritionist can work with parents to establish a healthy meal plan that is pleasing to both child and parent.
