From The Sun Times Media?..
Parents, did you know you have the power to turn the tide of a public health crisis? And all you have to do is be willing to change and plan ahead.
Childhood obesity across the nation has tripled in the past 30 years; the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report that one in three children are obese. However, with a little help from medical professionals, childhood obesity is completely preventable.
Jamie Broekhuizen, DO, a family physician at Valley West Community Hospital in Sandwich, says the desire to change is the first step in reducing childhood obesity.
Broekhuizen explained that incorporating consistent practices into the whole family?s routine can set children up for success.
?Limit children?s exposure to processed fast food, add fresh salads to meals and make as much food from scratch as possible. These are great ways to guide children toward healthier choices,? Dr. Broekhuizen said.
For parents who are short on time, Broekhuizen recommended planning meals in advance. Cooking food in advance is a healthier option than choosing TV dinners or pizza.
