Bev Grey asked:

If you are overweight kid, don’t be afraid to ask your parents for help. I know that you may think they are too busy, don’t think it is a problem, or will just tell you to “eat less and get up and move instead of sitting around all the time.” It isn’t quite that simple.

Please let your parents know how you feel. They love you and want what is best for you. They want you to be happy. They may not have any idea how your weight is affecting your life. I’m sure if you are open and honest with them, they will want to help you.

DO NOT, I repeat DO NOT put yourself on a diet. A restrictive diet is not the answer, because even if you lose a lot of weight, you will probably gain it back, plus some, when the diet is over. If you want to lose weight to have more confidence, attract a boyfriend/girlfriend, get the other kids to stop teasing and bullying you, etc., you must change your lifestyle. That may mean doing some things you don’t do today.

Good nutrition is the first key to healthy weight loss. If you don’t like

vegetables, eat them anyway. As you become used to them, you will learn to like most of them (I promise!). Fruits and vegetables not only contain vitamins and minerals to make you look and feel better, but they contain fiber, which will make you feel fuller. Just take a few bites of everything, and go easy on the white bread and anything made with sugar. I know you love pizza, but it is high in calories, so order it with thin crust, veggies, and NO extra cheese. Limit your pizza to once or twice a week, and eat a salad first.

Skip the sodas and drink water or low-fat milk instead. You really need the calcium in milk and dairy products, so try for 3 servings a day of low-fat milk, cottage cheese, cheese or yogurt. Just ONE regular size soda a day can make you gain 10 pounds in a year. I don’t even want to think about how many pounds the extra-large sodas might cause you to gain!

Skip the French fries, and have a salad instead. French fries really shouldn’t count as a vegetable since they are almost all starch. Have a baked potato instead, and go easy on the butter and sour cream.

Turn off the TV and computer, and go to bed earlier! Studies have proven that there is a direct connection between childhood obesity and not getting enough sleep. As a preteen or teenager, you need 9 or more hours of sleep each night.

Do something each day for exercise. Get a pedometer so that you can record the number of steps you take each day, and try to reach 10,000 a day. Offer to run errands for your parents, run the vacuum, walk the dog, or whatever chores will involve movement. Ride your bike, work out to an exercise video, or join the YMCA or Boys’ & Girls’ club so you can swim, shoot hoops, or work out on the exercise equipment.

Ask your mom or dad for a few minutes of their time to have a private talk with you, and then share your feelings and goals concerning your weight. Ask for their help. If they are overweight also, ask if the whole family can lose weight and get healthier together. Your talk may be all they need to get started. Do it today!!

Abby asked:

Breastfeeding for less than two months or less than four months was noted to be 2 times higher in obese women. Whereas, overweight women when compared to normal weight women, were 52 % more likely to have stopped breastfeeding before two months, and 62 % more likely to have stopped before four months.

In general, overweight of obese women when compared to normal-weight women were 76% more likely to give up breastfeeding before 6 months.
Why statistically is there this correlation?

Personally I’m not overweight but I do have slighty chubby friends and some of my slimmer friends don’t seem to like them as much. I feel like people don’t want to be friends with chubby girls but I’m not sure why. Could someone clear this up for me?

Maria Literral asked:

The government has pushed money towards the health service for years, and recently they?ve been releasing even more funds for promoting healthy lifestyles. The general opinion is if they could make the public aware of healthy living, less humans will be processed through hospitals, which is obviously commendable for the country. The main issue relating to this subject is obesity, a condition that may cause a whole host of diverse problems that will impact members of public both now and in later life. For the most part, healthy living slows down aging and helps combat disease, but also does smaller things like improving moods and one’s self-confidence. To summarise, should a being live a textbook healthy lifestyle, they are much more likely to adore a superior first-rate of life.

As discussed in the elementary paragraph, one of the main problems for those who don?t abide by a healthy lifestyle is obesity. Obesity is when a person finds themselves 20% or more above their normal body weight, which is unfortunately a stage for numerous citizens in the country. The number of problems that are caused by obesity is frightening, with high blood pressure, diabetes, strokes, and even a larger risk of cancer all being possibilities. High blood pressure is seemingly the better common problem, yet this may cause lots of various other problems, as the heart is being forced to work harder.

Those who are serious about leading a healthy lifestyle know the noteworthiness of not smoking. Anyone who smokes and quits automatically lowers their chances of developing one of the major diseases associated with cigarettes. Those who do smoke display a higher chance of developing lung cancer and emphysema.

Another danger associated with smoking is poor lung maximum volume. They might get tired and breathless just taking a walk around the block, which makes it difficult to exercise. They may also develop cancer of the mouth and even lose their ability to taste foods after smoking for a long time.

Exercise is extremely important in nowadays?s world. With the rise of video games, computer games, desk jobs, and fast food, the body demands to exercise to stay healthy. Exercise may make you feel sound. Many members of public feel a ?rush? when they exercise hard; this is in fact a rush of endorphins. Endorphins make the body and mind feel prestigious. Exercise is important to keep your muscles flexible and to keep them from becoming atrophied, which means that a componental of the body starts to waste away. The more exercise a person gets, the more physically fit they are, and the more they are able to do. Exercise is also important when you need to lose weight, as diet alone might not always do it.

There are many positive side effects when you strive to eat healthier and exercise more. Your weight will likely drop if you are overweight, or stay the same if you are already at the weight you should be at. Healthy eating and exercise make the body work hard in a commendable way, fighting off bacteria and viruses much better than those who eat poorly and rarely exercise. These agreeable habits could affect the condition of one?s skin, nails, and hair, as healthy eating increases the needed vitamins a individual ingests.

Leading a healthy lifestyle helps individuals live longer and happier lives. They feel preferable about their bodies, which helps improve their self-esteem. It also gives them more time to do the things they fancy, without worrying about how their bodies will feel later.

Those who lead healthy lifestyles also show the added benefit of living longer because they reduce their chances of catching certain diseases. Cancer, heart problems, diabetes, and high blood pressure are all conditions that may occur in those who lead less than healthy lives. Making a rare changes though can help eliminate those worries.

Beck Monte asked:

There is no doubt that parents with overweight teenagers must be continually worrying about their health; parents know they need to resolve this weight issue before their child grows older and it affects their whole life. Almost all teens go through the stage of needing acceptance from their contemporaries but if they are overweight this is going to be difficult. Being overweight is not just about how a person looks but how it will affect their health as well and education is the key to winning this obesity war that is why so many teen weight loss programs have been started recently.

These weight problems can accompany them throughout their entire lives and range from serious mental to physical health problems, sometimes both. Just some of the health problems they might experience are:

Heart problems Conditions associated with poor circulation Diabetes Joint problems

Learning how a teen weight loss program will help avoid these conditions. You can probably remember when you were at school and the names that overweight children were called and how it affected them.

The problem is no matter how much weight they lose, the names follow them around into adulthood which is especially humiliating when they meet people they went to school with at reunions for example. Parents with teens that need to lose weight are not alone with many groups available to help them because it can be difficult to know how to deal with the situation. Unfortunately, the numbers of teens who desperately need to lose weight is increasing and has become a global problem despite the number of companies that are promoting products to help lose weight; even though many of them make false claims.

It must be instilled early on that teen weight loss programs are not just about losing weight but about the reduction of body fat which is the main problem to overcome. A parent should not panic their child into losing weight as this can have an adverse reaction; after all, weight takes time to amass and will also take time to lose if done safely. A parent should contact their doctor in addition to researching the subject for information specifically relating to teen weight loss programs that are proven methods; If possible consult a medical practitioner, but at the same time do some reading on the subject of teen weight loss as there is a wealth of material of material available.

One word of warning about certain teen weight loss programs; if not chosen carefully they can have serious health consequences in themselves. Those regimes that advocate the starvation method should be avoided as whilst weight will be lost, it will not be achieved healthily. So the purpose is reduce the body fat and information on this subject is considerable but if the teen can achieve this, a long term healthy weight balance is more likely.

Finally pregnant with baby #1!! asked:

I am an overweight woman and my husband and I have been ttc for 2 years come this april. We both have gone to the doctor and were told that everything is fine and we should have no trouble conceiving on our own. I am starting to loose hope…

My question is if you are overweight how long did it take you to conceive your baby?

Kalvin C. Chinyere, M.D. asked:

The number of overweight children is at an all time high and the numbers are steadily increasing. Strategies to reverse this disturbing trend must be created and put into action. One strategy would be to bring back the physical education classes that have been removed from many schools’ curriculum. Instead of downsizing the physical education component, educators should cut back the history component.

Bring Back P.E. Class

An ideal physical education class would have an educational component as well as an activity-based component.

The educational component would provide the child with information about nutrition and exercise. The child would learn what to eat and what to do in order to get and stay healthy. They would also learn why these nutrition and exercise strategies work and how to incorporate them into their daily lives. This knowledge would provide the students with a foundation to help them maintain their health throughout their entire lives.

The activity-based component would provide the children with fun calorie burning activities. This would help the child to maintain a healthy weight. Regular activity as a child would encourage regular activity as an adult. Various activities would be attempted. Experimentation with activities would help the child to find activities they enjoy. The more an activity is enjoyed, the more likely it will be continued. Experimentation as a child would also encourage experimentation as an adult.

Get Rid of History Class

Physical Education classes have been removed for a variety of reasons, such as lack of facilities, staff, or money. Some P.E. programs have been downsized because there is just not enough time in a school day to include it in the curriculum. If time is truly an issue, they should consider removing other aspects of the curriculum, such as history.

There are thousands of people who have spent their entire lives studying history. However, I have not found a need for the knowledge of history in my everyday life. I have never had a life changing moment that required my knowledge of the Boston Tea Party or the Panama Canal. Unless you foresee your child being a contestant on Jeopardy, they could probably use a physical education class more than a history class.

National borders are becoming increasingly blurred. Globalization is growing as the world becomes more interconnected. The knowledge of what happened hundreds of years ago is becoming less useful.

History Repeats Itself

Truth be told, I respect history; and as an American, I especially respect American history. I believe that knowing your history is important if you want to prevent history from repeating itself. However, if I had to choose between a physical education class and a history class, I would choose the former. Health-care costs in America are rising at an astronomical rate. If we don’t address the obesity epidemic and focus on disease prevention, America as we know it will be history.
