In recent years obesity in children have really become a big issue:
Along with several trials for obesity prevention for children, recent study have come out with several bad consequences during adolescence.
Care for Children:
The national health and safety program standards for child care recommends a written nutrition diet plan for each program.
This plan includes the amount and types of food to meet each child's metabolic, growth and energy needs as well as steps to avoid and respond to choking, food allergies,tooth decay etc.
It is recommended that every families should be given a session of knowledge regarding various nutrients requirement to make their toddler to a grown up healthy fit child.
Few recommendations are as follows:
1. Juice and healthy drinks are recommended to make them healthy and energetic.
2. Milk with their favorite flavors is advisable for every child.
3. An optimum amount of water in a day is the best for a child to make him or her get rid of
various diseases.
4. Intake of fruits and vegetables will make children to remain away from problem like, excess
fat, obesity, various cordial problems in the long run etc.
One must not ignore the problem if their child is over weight by supporting them and encouraging them to have good eating habits, avoiding junk food intake etc. and a habit of regular exercising right from child hood.
Encouragement for sports and athletic activities are all most beneficial activities in the initial stages.

New Era Defination of Obesity
Obesity means having too much body fat. It is different from being overweight, which means weighing too much. Both terms mean that a person's weight is greater than what is considered healthy for his or her height. Children grow at different rates, so it isn't always easy to know when a child is obese or overweight. Ask your doctor to measure your child's height and weight to determine if he or she is in a healthy range.
If a weight loss program is necessary, involve the whole family in healthy habits so your child doesn't feel singled out. You can encourage healthy eating by serving more fruits and vegetables and buying fewer sodas and high-calorie, high-fat snack foods. Physical activity can also help your child overcome obesity or being overweight. Kids need about 60 minutes each day.

Obesity in children experiencing a staggering increase
Consecrated epidemic last three decades, obesity affects more children, jeopardizing their health. The real disease is the subject of much research. If salaries are so far disappointing, we know better and better the mechanisms of onset and risk factors of obesity. Therefore, doctors, parents and teachers are increasingly mobilized to prevent childhood obesity, and that the earlier in life...
For three decades, obesity rose steadily and rapidly in the world but especially in America, Europe and Japan. If the United States beat the record of obesity for both adults and for Children in Europe England and Germany are the countries where adults are most affected. However obesity in children is more prevalent in the South and Eastern Europe - Hungary, Spain, Italy, Greece, reflecting both the rapid economic changes that factors cultural.

Three to four times more obese children than in the 1970s
Surveys conducted in the 1990s show that obesity is reaching more than one child in 10 in 5-12 years, the percentage varying between 10 and 12.5% across regions. We also know that this percentage is increasing very rapidly past ten years: over 28% in Lorraine in 10 years, over 145% in the Central West over a period of 16 years in children of 10 years.

Children on TV in quite a few activities
Wearing overall, despite the diversity of food supply, the average calorie intake of children in industrialized countries has not increased significantly in recent years. Although the size and average weight of children increased their calorie intake reduced instead. Thus the factor most implicated in the increase of obesity in children is declining level of physical activity with reduced outdoor play in favor of video games, the use of computers and television.

A present and future risk
We now know that obesity is an immediate risk to child health, including the cardiovascular system. But it is also a risk to their future health (impact of obesity on health) and chances of developing diseases such as hypertension, diabetes and respiratory disorders.
But for the obese child, suffering the most acute is probably psychological, with the mockery and rejection as obesity, a real social handicap, causes, things going to get worse in adolescence when the 'body image becomes so important to self esteem ...
Salaries: poor results
The treatment of obesity installed child has bad results. Specialized consultations throughout the world show only 15 to 30% of success, despite expensive treatments and expensive. The treatments are more successful if overweight is moderate and if the environment is actively involved in healing.
Prevention first
The epidemic of obesity must be fought primarily in children. Especially since it is easier to prevent than in adults, children are more receptive to changes in lifestyle, diet and exercise. This is where the family model and the support of loved ones take their place. All surveys show that the majority of nutritional information and lifestyle are taken from parents, especially mothers, and school.
On the other hand, a better understanding of the mechanisms of onset of obesity has shown that it was essential to better monitor the growth curves and body size of children.
So parents be careful if your child is overweight ... it's really the best service to him!

What basically is Childhood Obesity???
Obesity is an excessive increase in body fat in the body, to an extent it may affect health status.
Obesity is defined by exceeding the standard BMI curves. These curves are expressed as percentiles, standard deviation, or standard deviations. The 50th percentile represents the median. Changes considered normal range of 10 to 90. Between the 90th and 97th percentile may have about overweight zone. Beyond 97, there is talk of obesity.

New values
An international definition of childhood obesity based on BMI curves drawn from different countries, will soon be proposed. Two degrees of overweight are defined by the percentiles curves reaching values of 25 and 30 to 18 years. This new international definition for child maintain continuity with the adult and will mainly compare the incidence of obesity compared to the total population between different studies and between different countries.
Variations with age
In the French study reference to growth, where a reference population has been followed longitudinally (over several years) from birth to 20 years, it was observed that the majority of children 1 year does not stay in the same group of corpulence. In particular, 60% of children roughly 1 year will no longer be in adulthood. Hence the importance for young children interested in the dynamic evolution of their corpulence and their adiposity rebound to identify children claiming support or prevention.
