* In its place is preferable to introduce fruits and skimmed milk (which provide the same nutrients and less fat). It is important to prepare the child a good breakfast, because it is the first meal of the day is the one to provide energy for tomorrow and improve school performance of children.

* Also important is the way to cook food, ignore the fried and instead opt for healthier cuisine, based on cooked foods, grilled, boiled, roasted, etc.

* Try to make the consumption of vegetables and fruits. To do this we can start by mixing small amounts of vegetables with different foods that disguise their presence, color salad (pasta, tomato, corn ,..), pizza with vegetables, fish croquettes with tomato and grated carrot, spinach tortilla …

* You should get used to chew slowly and leave the table without feeling hungry, to avoid a bite between meals.

For all this, it is very important that both parents at home, as educators in the school canteen, change the nutritional habits of children by providing balanced diets.

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.

In these ages, from 4 to 11 years or so, we can say that the calories they need are between 1600 and 2500 calories per day. We propose some menus in the general section of diets of 1500 calories, 1800 calories and 2000 calories.

From here are some guidelines.

It is important that there is consumption of milk containing approximately six servings of these.
For example, it could be:
3 glasses of milk, two yogurts and a piece of cheese.

It is also important to reduce the consumption of bakery products.

We must monitor and reduce consumption of sweets to the start of the school. In any case, choose sugar-free gum and candy, in order to avoid oral problems typical of the school such as caries.

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.

“The pants do not you go? Do you have some extra pounds? Want to lose the belly? We know that rapid weight loss is difficult but not impossible if you have that discipline and organization. Once you have your taxes and you make sure you follow a plan, a matter of mentalizarte and be lost kilos alone.

Here, however, is not a question of miracles. If you plan to buy a miraculous machine that you have sold TV will be enough to lose weight, is forgetting the case. The task of losing weight fast should be approached as a change in your life again, a new organization of schedules and new healthy habits.

For rapid weight loss have to start taking the steps prior to thin. That is, commitment. We need to get involved in your commitment and think you have the power in your mind. Plan and prepare for the week that will take you to lose weight. It is important that you have your goals clear, so when birthday to find the motivation you need.

Discipline is the key to losing weight quickly. Make exercise a habit. Try to find the exercises in certain fixed times of day, so it will become an activity to attend, and not a what-do-when-I. The second option will inevitably lead you to forget your exercises.

Finally, it is also necessary in this process’re flexible. You realize that if half hour of exercise was enough, eventually you realize that you will pay more. The changes also must occur in your diet, as always eating the same foods is a bad strategy for your nutritional health.

In the method of a deposit contract, where participants invest a small amount of your own money, they would lose at the end of the month if not achieved their goals, this group also would have a bonus if they met their goal.

“The only thing is that only receive their reward at the end of the month if their weight was below the stated goal for the month,” said Volpp.

Control groups all had a goal to lose 16 pounds (7.26 kg) after four months and people with the incentive lost much more weight than those who had paid for their efforts, reaching half of the participants in each group meeting.

People in the lottery program earned a total of $ 378.49 and lost about 13 pounds (5.9 kg), while people who participated in the deposit system was $ 272.80 and the loss was 14 pounds (6.35 kg).

Individuals in the control group that are only rewarded for best play of jeans lost about 4 pounds after four months.

Volpp said the studies were highly effective in producing short-term weight loss, but when the money stopped flowing, the weight began to increase again.

“We have to establish whether they can be effective in maintaining weight loss, as in the program,” he said.

What kind of bariatric procedures do you practice?

We offer the RY gastric bypass laparoscopi, and anneu laparoscopic adjustable gastric our medical center (Metropolitan Surgery Center-CMC) and the RY gastric bypass and laparoscopic biliopancreatic bypass, laparoscopic DS at University Health Center (MUHC). Patients who are super-super obese (over 400 pounds) or patients with medical problems or complex surgery are not candidates for the CMC. Consequently, they can be operated at the MUHC.

We practice of revision surgeries for patients who failed their weight loss after bariatric surgery underwent some here or elsewhere: gastric banding, vertical gastroplasty or bypass clogged jéjunéale performed by us or elsewhere). We practice all these revisions by laparoscopy with a success rate of 95%.

Several reasons motivate people suffering from morbid obesity to resort to bariatric surgery:

• An important study by Dr. Christou has shown that bariatric surgery can reduce the risk of premature death by 89% in morbidly obese patients operated on and lose enough weight, when compared to morbidly obese patients who have not been made.
• Patients who are morbidly obese have much higher rates of type 2 diabetes, hypertension and heart disease than non-obese patients. These health problems are improved or eliminated following a successful weight loss in almost 90% of patients.
• Diets usually do not work long term. Only 3 to 5% of all people trying to lose weight by this method successfully maintain their weight over five years.
• Medical experts have determined that bariatric surgery was the only permanent solution for weight loss. The NIH of the United States has in fact met in 1991 and 1996, a pannel of experts and earned a decisive consensus that bariatric surgery was the best way to lose weight in the morbidly obese, when all other methods have failed for them. That consensus has since been repeated by other experts.

Bariatric surgery is the collective term for all surgical treatments for morbid obesity. Gastric bypass surgery is one of the surgical treatments through bariatric surgery. Morbid obesity has become a major health problem in the human world, because this can cause the development of many diseases that threaten life and even premature death. It is characterized by severe accumulation of excess weight as fatty tissue.

When obese people have tried everything from diet and exercise but nothing worked for them, in turn surgical procedures to lose much of your unwanted weight. Gastric bypass surgery is one of the most popular choices made by patients – even Hollywood celebrities are experiencing this type of procedure.

Gastric bypass surgery is to make the stomach smaller and allows food to bypass part of the small intestine. This will change much of their eating habits because you will feel full more quickly thereby reducing the amount of food you eat and the amount of calories consumed. Because food bypasses part of the intestine, fewer calories will be absorbed by your body and this will lead to greater weight loss.

When gastric bypass surgery is performed, the patient is forced to stay in the hospital at least four to six days after the procedure. If the procedure is performed with laparoscopic approach, then at least two to three day hospital stay required. The recovery period before people can return to normal activities may take about three to five weeks after the procedure.

One major obstacle after the procedure is controlled by diet and eating procedure. First, may experience dumping syndrome. This occurs when food moves too quickly through the stomach and intestines. This is because your system has yet to adjust to their new creation. The symptoms of dumping syndrome include nausea, weakness, sweating, fainting, and even diarrhea soon after eating. High-calorie sweet foods make symptoms even worse.

Living with gastric bypass surgery certainly change the way they live. You will have different diet compared with family members, will continue to lose weight for the next twelve months and will be more comfortable with your new image. Not all people who are obese can have the procedure though. There are some qualification requirements or you have to go before this procedure is recommended. If you have problems with alcohol or appetite, it is advised for this type of procedure. More surgical procedures to lose weight and your doctor may give you alternative ways to lose that excess weight.

In summary, obesity has many causes, among which are included genetic disorders, gland disorders, hormonal disorders and metabolic disorders, to name a few. Suffice it to say that if you want to find the real reason for their obesity, it will be necessary to consult a doctor.

The general opinion on obesity could also be summarized as: “people who are not great because”, but this is only a popular point of view, trust me I know, I used to be obese. Obesity is an epidemic, a disease of enormous proportions that is spreading rapidly throughout the world.

The extra mass caused by being overweight has many consequences, adding a heavy risk index in the obesity of the person’s chances of survival. Having to heave the extra weight, the individual is also less inclined to be physically active, which launched a vicious circle causing a worsening problem.

The extra weight also puts increased pressure on the body of bones and joints, causing all sorts of aches and pains. Often early arthritis set in. In most cases, obesity is caused by constantly eating the wrong kinds of food, which leads to much higher levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream. This, in turn impedes the smooth functioning of the heart and blood vessels, which can result in high blood pressure and heart failure.

The important added layers of fat are also causing another problem: apnea or cessation of breathing during sleep. As the muscles around the throat and neck completely relax during the early stages of deeper sleep, the weight of the fatty tissues causes the throat collapse, blocking the airflow. This breaks the natural cycle of recovery, adding to already present.

Obesity is associated with many medical problems, most of which improve with weight loss. Both men and women who are obese have an increased risk of:

The reduction in life expectancy

Diabetes mellitus

Gallstones

Hypertension (high blood pressure)

Osteoarthritis

Coronary heart disease

Abnormal blood lipids

Stroke

Sleep Apnea

Cancer (colon and prostate cancer in men, uterine and gallbladder cancer in women)

Today, most professionals to measure obesity according to Quenelle’s BMI or Body Mass Index.

Is the name of Belgian scientist, Adolph Quenelle, who invented the method? The BMI is a measurement technique to produce a value that takes into accounts a person’s height, sex and weight. It is compared with a chart that is obtained through the application of statistics (which implies that only defined after making a large number of measurements) so that the results were evident in relation to half.

BMI is calculated from a person’s height and weight as follows:

BMI = body weight (in kilograms) / height (in meters) squared.

A BMI between 25 and 30 kg/m2 is considered overweight.

A BMI above 30 kg/m2 is considered obese.

A waist circumference greater than 35 inches (88 cm) in women and 40 inches (102 cm) in men indicates an excessive amount of fat in the abdominal area.

There are many BMI calculators online, you can find one easily by doing a search online

for the “Centers for Disease Control and Prevention” by typing “BMI calculator”.

Obesity is causing the global economy to lose billions of dollars each year.
