Reversing Obesity in Our Children:
The Direct Relationship
between Lifestyle Habits and Obesity
Children who are fortunate
enough to have health-conscious parents are far more likely to avoid the
horrific onset of obesity in their later years. And even though the most
recent Swedish research reported on in the British Medical Journal states
that beginning an exercise program later in life is almost as good as having
exercised all along, it's not. And even if it was, remaining fit throughout
the course of your life has a lot to do with what is ingrained in your mind
early on. In a nutshell, children who are raised with a mindset that
embraces regular physical activity and healthful eating will continue to
embrace positive lifestyle habits into their later years most generally. And
children who were allowed to lay around year after year playing video games,
eating TV dinners and not challenging themselves physically - well, let's
just say that taking a look around yourself will show you the results.
The mind controls the body - and all too often, unhealthy lifestyle
habits control the mind.
Worldwide obesity levels are at record highs. There have never been more
fat, unfit people on the planet as there are currently. Degenerative
lifestyle habits, including very poor food intake choices, engaging in
almost zero physical activity, allowing high stress to go unchecked - and
developing generally weak mindsets - are killing people by the millions
every year.
Mitochondrial decay and the general degrading of bodily systems are
somewhat natural occurrences as we age. However, it is completely ridiculous
to think that it's natural to waste away in the manners that people do
today. Fast foods, sedentary lifestyles and chemical concoctions from big
pharmaceutical companies are not the keys to health. Every individual human
being needs to be responsible for their own health and longevity. And how do
we as humans encourage and learn that responsibility?
Parents: Be parents! Do not allow your precious children to begin dying
so young!
It's a very basic, easy-to-understand fact that increased exercise yields
decreased mortality. It's also a no-brainer that the foods we eat are
directly related to our health levels. Additionally, it should not surprise
you that those who do not directly and the intentionally intervene to
control their stress levels will die far sooner than those who do. Every
leading research university on the planet has concluded the same thing -
time after time. Obesity is directly related to every preventable and
reversible disease. And obesity itself is directly preventable and
reversible as well.
So what can we do? As
responsible, loving parents, what can we do to ensure that our children do
not become obese, unhealthy adults?
Tips for parents who honestly want their children to live long, healthy
lives:
-
Try to limit the amount of
fast, fried, prepared, microwave, bleached, unhealthy foods they eat. Of
course, almost every kid would choose a brightly-coloured, sugar-filled,
zero-nutrition treat over a healthy serving of bean sprouts! That's why they
have parents. It is your direct responsibility to encourage the food intake
choices of your children. Further, you need to actually prepare healthy
meals for them. They don't know how to cook. They don't know about
nutrition. They don't even care to yet. Maybe their decisions should be made
for them until they're responsible enough to make those decisions for
themselves.
-
Likewise, the vast majority
of children would rather deeply immerse themselves within the electronic
confines of a video game than to go out and jog a mile. That doesn't make it
the healthy thing to do though. And of course, there's nothing wrong with
playing a video game either - at least not here and there. Wouldn't it be
lovingly-sensible to demand that your children engage in physical activity
at least as often as they play video games? Wouldn't it be parentally
responsible to make sure that the children in your home play outside as
often as they sit in front of a television? Here's a hint for you:
they're probably not going to do it unless you encourage them!
To concisely summarize,
children need guidance – and examples. They need encouragement on what to
eat. They need to be shown when to exercise. They need to have healthful
meals prepared for them. They need to be consistently encouraged to develop
healthful lifestyle habits. And then, they will.
