Teenage Obesity: Is Killing Our Children

Teenage Obesity: Is it Killing Our Children?

I saw an article that said American kids suffer from obesity and it is killing many of them. I would not personally go as far as to say this. However, I have personally, as a teacher, seen the kids in the various grade levels; appear to be heavier than in years past.

Obesity is bad enough, but teenage obesity is worse. If kids and teenagers start getting overweight, it only goes on to show how bad our lifestyle habits have become and how little concern we have for our health. If we don’t take the right measures to curb it, it would only get worse with time. What I have learned is that teenage obesity leads to young adult obesity.

Make Your Teen Kid Lose Weight

Make Your Teen Kid Lose Weight

These 3 Easy Steps!

I hate stats and figures as much as you do! But if I want to portray the enormity of the epidemic called teenage obesity and how it is and will be affecting the American population, I need to mention some scientific figures to prove my point. Studies predict that:

a) If the present trend of teenage obesity continues, almost half of the American population could become obese within the next 25 years. American lifestyle would continue to influence the world in the same way as now and thus, the tragedy of America could well be taken as the tragedy of the world.

b) It is also predicted that depending on their age, obese teenagers are likely to have health issues when they grow into adulthood. For example, young teens are almost 25% likely to have healthy-related problems in adulthood, while for the older teenagers, this figure rises to about 80%.

c) Studies also point out that people who have been obese in their teens are three times more likely to die prematurely than others.

There are three main causes behind teenage obesity:

1. Poor eating habits: Teenagers tend to have influential minds, and the lifestyle they follow is often a result of several kinds of influences, domestic and non-domestic. As far as domestic influence is concerned, a lot of it can well be attributed to their parents. When they see their parents enjoying burgers, chips, biscuits, cakes, pizzas, etc., they follow suit. When they notice their parents gulping down a dozen cans of soda, why would they do drink plain water?

Among non-domestic influences, the prominent influence is peer pressure. If peers are enjoying fast foods, your kid would most likely join them out of fear of being ostracized. If your kid's classmate says that it is cool to have soft dinks at lunch, he would most probably follow his suggestion.

Only parents can ensure that their kids follow healthy eating habits. As a first step, they should start eating healthy foods themselves. They need to show their kids how much they enjoy eating organic fruits and vegetables. They need to kick off their junk food eating habits.

Believe it or not, the way you lead life influences your teenage kid's lifestyle habits in a big way. If you follow healthy habits, your kid would surely imitate you.

Parents also need to make sure that their kids always have healthy foods at their reach; this would discourage them from eating junk foods from outside. At breakfast, you should offer your kid a decent-sized meal that would keep him full for a long time. Such a meal should be rich in protein, vitamin, calcium, carbohydrates and fats. You can include eggs, chicken, broccoli, tofu, soy, whole grains, nuts, etc., as part of the breakfast.

Be sure to pack your kid's launch box with home cooked meals and strictly instruct him to eat only those foods at lunch and nothing else! If he doesn't obey you, force him to eat his lunch at home before serving the dinner. Just like breakfast, dinner should also consist of only healthy and low-calorie foods.

2. Low activity level: A lot of kids gain weight because they hardly move their bodies. For fitness purposes, a body should always be kept in motion, for when a body moves, it burns fat and calories and makes you lose weight.

So, you should discourage your kids from watching too much television and encourage them to indulge in outdoor sports such as tennis, basketball, or cricket instead! No matter how much they pester you, don't buy them video games or PSPs. Kids get addicted to video games pretty quickly and that would hinder their active life.

3. Genetic disorders: Some kids gain weight because of hereditary reasons. However if you thought there is no way out for your teenage kid, you couldn't be further from the truth! Your kid would simply need to work a lot harder than others to keep the weight at bay.

2 Things A Woman Needs to Burn Fat Fast!

Only 2 Things A Woman Needs to Burn Fat Fast!

Are you a woman who is very desperate to lose weight fast? Then I am sure you have fallen for those bold weight loss ads which get published in women's magazines one time or other. These ads make you believe that you would lose weight in just a week or two with the recommended diet programs. Fact is you would lose only your time and oney instead of weight.

These ads are very well-tuned to a certain demographic. Usually educated women belonging to middle and upper classes who want to lose weight fast with the least effort on their part. There are many women, young and old, who are very desperate to lose all the extra pounds as fast as they could.

Naturally, any diet program which claims to fulfill their desire would attract them. What they don't know is that such diets are good only for a few days. You would be losing weight rapidly for the first few days after which, it would be an upward trend, aka weight gain. Plus if you ever thought that popular celebrities recommending these diet plans actually use them, you are wrong again. Keep in mind that since celebs are paid big bucks to endorse certain products, they do it. However, they know it very well that since their career prospects depend on their physical fitness, such diets are of no use to them.

While I cannot say that the diet they personally use is one of the best, they definitely don't follow such unhealthy fad diets which work only for the first few days. They have personal fitness trainers and nutritionists constantly at their beck and call; as such, they probably know their stuff much better than you do.

Nevertheless, weight loss needn't be expensive and complicated. If you don't have big bucks to spend on your fitness like your favorite celebs do, don't worry. Weight loss is pretty simple. I did not say easy. I said simple.

To lose weight, we need to monitor two things. What you eat, how much you eat, and at what time: It is obvious that you cannot expect to lose weight while eating junk foods; as such, junk foods have to go. You should start munching on fresh fruits and vegetables instead of chips and cookies.

Eating healthy foods is not just enough; you also need to monitor the amount of food you are eating per day. Eating too much of healthy foods can also prove to be unhealthy for you! You just need to eat enough, and then stop eating.

Next, is how much you exercise, and how often. Exercising is very important for weight loss; anyone who told you anything on the contrary has most probably lied to you. No matter how much you monitor your food intake, some extra calories would still find their way into your body.

The only way to burn these extra calories is by working out regularly in the gym. Besides burning calories and fat, workouts also help you build strong lean muscle mass, which in turn help you burn even more fat and at a faster rate. Now in my case the gym is twenty (20) miles away, in on the far side of the city, from our home. So for me Walking up and down our road is our major exercise.

How long you exercise is very important too. You should neither exercise for too short or long a time. You can honestly get away with just thirty (30) minutes of exercise per day if you do it daily. It is neither healthy nor recommend to exercise for several hours at a stretch per day; such a workout regimen puts too much unnecessary strain on your body and make you tired. I should have shared this prior. You must consult your family doctor prior to and after starting any program.

Okay, if the gym scares you, there are other easier and more enjoyable ways to burn the fat. How does the prospect of daily walking, running or swimming sound to you? How about dancing, or playing basketball or tennis? Any of these activities would help you burn fat.

Well, ladies, this was a very brief article and a couple pointers to help you start losing that weight. I trust it has helped. My wife is not a big fan of diet and/or exercise. Now if she can do this you can do this. Thank you for your time.

The Sureshot Approach to Quick Weight Loss for Teenagers

The Sureshot Approach to Quick Weight Loss for Teenagers

Teenage obesity is fast becoming a 'growing' menace (pun intended)! One reason behind it is that it is very difficult to handle and control the lifestyle habits of teenagers. Teenagers always try to live life on their own terms since they believe that they are mature enough to take all important decisions of their lives. Still, there are a number of ways you can make sure that your teenage kid is always fit and slim.

Have you ever taught the difference of healthy and unhealthy foods to your kids? Have you ever taught your kids how to identity those two types of foods? Have you ever offered him home cooked meals? Have you ever prevented him from eating junk foods from outside, or watching television for hours?

http://tinyurl.com/5z5tev

If your answer to all these questions is "no", I regret to say that you have not really been a good parent. But you are not the only one of a kind. Most parents make their kids eat junk foods because they are not only a cheaper alternative to home cooked meals but also save them time. Most parents would prefer watching television or gossiping rather than cooking meals at home.

If a kid is not made to taste healthy foods right from the beginning, if he is never taught to identify good and bad foods, it is only natural that he would continue with the unhealthy habits of his childhood right into adolescence and beyond! If one has never eaten anything except junk foods as a child, it is not unnatural that he would develop a certain kind of distaste towards organic foods as he grows older. These unhealthy eating habits are one of the primary reasons behind teenage obesity.

Changing is a teenager's eating habit is a lot more harder than changing the food habits of a little kid. The only way you can change your kid's eating habit is by changing your food choices first. When you become proactive at weight loss and fitness, your teenage kids would follow suit! What you should be eating is something I would discuss at the end of this article.

Another reason behind obesity is the influence of television. Television not only makes a teenager idle but also influences his mind with those attractive ads on junk and fatty foods. As a parent, it is your responsibility to make sure that your kids don't watch television for a long time period.

You should encourage them to indulge in outdoor sports or at least take a walk outside.

As a parent, you should neither allow your kids to buy junk foods nor bring them yourself at home. When junk foods are available just right at the corner, neither you nor your kids would be able to resist the temptation. For goodness' sake, it is best to throw junk foods out of your home.

Your kitchen and refrigerator should be stocked only with organic foods; that way, you can make sure the whole family eats them more often than junk foods. Eating organic foods is one of the best ways to keep your calorie consumption low. This, coupled with a little physical activity, would do good both to you and your adolescent kids!

As for a diet program, you really don't need one, but if you want to follow a good diet, take a look at the "Strip That Fat" program. This is a new kind of diet devoid of the stupid food restrictions of the fad diets. When you start following it, you won't feel like you are dieting.

With Strip That Fat program, you are not forced to eat only one or other food; you can make your own meal plans based on your food choices. Strip That Fat comes with a diet generator tool as well that would build customized meal plans for you on the go!

Remember that as parents, we have the choice to teach healthy or unhealthy lifestyle habits to our kids. However, you need to teach your kids, especially teenagers, through action instead of mere words of wisdom. When you start losing weight as a result of following a healthy lifestyle, your kids would do the same. This is really a great way to fight teenage obesity!
