In recent years, obesity has taken place within the area of ??children, making them overweight people are very young, something not seen before. Much is blamed on fast food and junk, but what about the parents? What do we do to remedy this growing problem?

The first thing we have to think about is how we are feeding, if we have good eating habits at home, how many times a week we feed them fast food, among other habits that we acquire along the little time we have to devote to housework.

Another important point to note is that obesity is a disease that can be inherited, if the father or mother, or grandparents, are obese, then it is time to pay much more attention to food at home to care for child and prevent diseases such as diabetes or hypertension in children.

The underlying problem in society can be reversed if we pay a little more attention to what they eat our children. I’ll give you some very healthy tips you can take into account to help combat childhood obesity at home.

Place fruit at your fingertips
By mid-afternoon or evening may be hungry and will always want to eat what is at hand, so we always have a bowl with various fruits on hand. Nor did I say you put kilos of fruit to it, because if it is sweet, you can eat everything in one day, make a balance and put an apple, banana and tangerine, for example.

Include more vegetables
A salad before lunch or vegetable broth at night can be super food. If you do not like broccoli, then try to melt it and add it to mashed potatoes (potatoes) to create a fun mix to which you call “monster mash.” The point is slightly different for the food and use creativity to feed better.

Watch your lunchbox
The lunchbox is one food that will keep your child well fed and energized to “survive” school hours. How about if instead of including cookies and cola, the change for fruit, cereal bars and yogurt? Are healthy options and just as simple to prepare and economical if you want to buy.

Fast food restricted
Many eat in fast foods because they have no time to cook or because he is rich. Children get used to it and the menu toy things end up eating too much fat and calories. Restricts visits to these places once a month at most and if you can eliminate them from the life of your family.

Tipping can be a double edged sword
Giving tips is not bad, what is wrong is what they do with it. A recess can buy cookies, chocolates, sweets and all the candy they can at school or at a store near the house, so it is essential to know what they do with the tip you give them. Best is always useful to give them things or materials instead of money.
