"Look how strong this child is, he is fat in vain!" For parents, everyone wants their children to be healthier and eat fat for nothing. Therefore, in the eyes of many parents, especially the elderly, it is a good thing for children to eat more. This old saying is called "strong mouth!" .
Indeed, children are not picky about food, and it is good to love to eat. However, in the process of letting children eat, we should also pay attention to avoid obesity. Because childhood obesity usually brings many effects, it may also increase the burden on the body and lead to the emergence of certain diseases.
Therefore, in the process of children's development, it is necessary to control diet reasonably to ensure that children's daily nutritional intake can meet their physical needs. Children must not be allowed to eat more at will, and finally they will become obese because they cannot metabolize excess fat, which will affect their health. So, what are the general hazards of childhood obesity?
1, resulting in abnormal metabolism.
It is understood that in the case of childhood obesity, the probability of metabolic abnormality will be very high. Moreover, obesity will lead to children's lack of exercise and decreased exercise ability. Children themselves are at an idle age. Doing more exercise is good for children's growth in all aspects. Obesity can cause children to be tired and unwilling to move, and their metabolism will become slower.
If the child is obese for a long time, the body's metabolism of substances will be disordered. In this way, the body's nutrients can not be provided in time, the probability of illness will increase, and many organs of the body will also be damaged in the case of abnormal metabolism.
2, induce diabetes
If the child is obese, the probability of developing diabetes will be very high.
Now people's living standards have generally improved, and children's daily diet is mostly fine food. Children like sweets when they are young, and parents usually satisfy their children's preferences, so most children will never leave their hands on cakes, sweets and drinks. In fact, these foods can easily lead to obesity in children.
Through research, it is found that under the influence of obesity, insulin secretion will be abnormal, and excess sugar in the body can not be metabolized in time. At this time, children may suffer from diabetes, and diabetes is harmful to health. If it is not well controlled, it may lead to children taking drugs for life.
Therefore, children should control their weight reasonably to avoid diabetes caused by obesity.
3, affect hormone levels
When children are obese, it is easy to cause fluctuations in hormone levels, which may be too much androgen. During the child's development, the changes of hormones in the body at this time have a great influence on the child's health. If obese, the body will secrete too much androgen, and the incidence of early polycystic ovary syndrome will also increase, which is not good for children's health.
Obesity can also easily lead to premature development of children, premature entry into the soaring period, leading to premature closure of the bone scale line, affecting the height of children. If it is a girl, it is easy to lead to early menstruation, so we must pay attention to it!
4, causing cardiovascular diseases.
Obesity in children can easily lead to cardiovascular system damage. Because of the changes of heart structure and hemodynamics caused by obesity, cardiovascular system will be involved and adverse symptoms will appear. Common sleep apnea, insufficient pulmonary ventilation and pulmonary hypertension are all related to obesity.
And some obese children will have heart disease, which is related to the harm of obesity to the body. Therefore, we should control our weight reasonably at ordinary times, and take reasonable measures to control our weight in time after finding obesity.
5, affecting bone health
Obese children, the pressure on joints and bones will increase, and degeneration of joints and bones may occur in a short time, which is undoubtedly harmful to health. In other words, we see that many obese children will not reach the genetic height in the end. Therefore, it is necessary to control the weight reasonably at ordinary times, especially in the child's adolescence, so as not to damage the bone health. Will not affect the growth of children.
