Childhood obesity:
childhooh obese
Childhood obesity is one of the most common problems of “malnutrition” in developed countries. The presence of obesity in school children ranges from 7% to 10%.

Traditionally it was thought that childhood obesity depends primarily on a genetic factor, however, recent studies indicate that other factors predisposing to display obesity in children.

Some of the daily activities like going to school by bus, or the fact the lift, participation in extracurricular activities sedentary (crafts, languages ,..), or excessive hours of television or video games, make the child is introduced to a sedentary lifestyle.

There is another important factor such as parental attitudes toward food, often at the child’s family likes this coma, he produces some satisfaction to see the child eat, finish your plate, it appears that a child “plump” is sign of health, but a skinny kid seems a sign of weakness, or weakness, but this, each day is shown to be a conceptual error.

Caloric expenditure in children is higher than that of an adult, not only because they consume a lot of energy with the intense daily activity of running, playing, jumping, etc. but the fact that your body is in the growth process causes the body to burn calories in the process of growth, so it is important that children come away with a diet that meets the nutritional needs of the child.

body fat and dietBody fat
Its reduction through diet and exercise

Its origin is simple. When you provide the body more calories than consumed, the excess energy stored as fat.
There are six factors which a person develops obesity: genetic, social, developmental factors, endocrine, psychological and physical inactivity.

Now, diet or exercise?
Although it is difficult to discern what comes first, or most importantly, it is clear that this is a vicious circle: he’s fat just shuns exercise and getting fatter.

According to studies, it is accepted in general rules:
The body of an adult male should have 15% of their body mass consists of fat. Women must change 27% of that amount. Using a 5% tolerance in both sexes. Then obese males above 20% body fat and women 32%.

There are three ways to achieve a reduction of body fat:

Increased caloric expenditure through exercise.
Reduction in food intake.
Combination of both solutions.

The low-calorie diet is contradicted by the loss of muscle mass. The diet of caloric expenditure is not appropriate because it hits the poor alimentación.Mientras that the combination of both is the best program for fat loss.

How to Eat to Lose Fat

I used to interview elite bodybuilders on their training and eating to live and he did it for years and years. A recurrent theme kept appearing to speak when he went to diet and nutrition was the amount of food outside the top bodybuilders packed on a daily basis. These men teach their bodies how to handle continually greater amounts of calories without becoming fat. Contrast this with the typical obese person who eats one meal a day and adds body fat at the drop of a hat. I am working with a team of obese people and with great success using modified bodybuilder eating tactics to help obese people lose body fat.

The first order of business for obesity is to establish a multiple meal schedule. The obvious advantage of this strategy is to divide the daily calories into smaller pieces. I require the obese to eat every three hours and, in general, works to five day supply. Second, insist that the cleanliness of food choices. Some foods are easily converted into body fat (sugar in food, artificial foods and saturated fats) and some foods are almost impossible for the body to convert fat (lean protein, fibrous carbohydrates). The body’s metabolism kicks into high gear to digest protein and fiber – creates what is called the thermogenic effect of food. Body temperature increases when the digestive system is faced with the difficult task of breaking the difficulty of digesting protein and fiber. (more…)

What makes the Chinese people so thin? Is it due to genes? A more active lifestyle?

“By drinking the liquid in which vegetables are cooked, the Chinese people did not guarantee that the vitamins are lost are lost during the cooking process,” he says.
