DON'T LET YOUR CHILD EAT IN FRONT OF THE TV!
Obesity has become a nightmare not only for adults but also for children. Therefore, it is necessary to create a lifestyle by taking into account all factors that cause obesity.
Many things that children do during the growing period turn into habits later on. Developing these habits in a positive way will return them to a healthy life in the coming years. But there are some habits that can cause problems in your life. One of them is the habit of eating in front of the television. In order to prevent this behavior, which is the inviter of obesity, you should not think and do not eat in front of the television, especially you.
According to experts, feeding in front of the television, which is preferred because babies or children, especially those with eating problems, focus on what they watch and do not have nutritional problems, causes more food consumption than needed.
After 15-20 minutes of starting to eat, satiety hormones are stimulated. Foods that are eaten one after the other without allowing this warning to be made cause the stomach to expand and grow. Since it is the fastest period in the growth and development of children, they carry nutrition in front of the television to the next periods of their lives. However, it is necessary to pay attention, as the nutritional habit that will be gained in this process will shape his whole life.
As long as possible, there will be no problems with the endocrine hormones of the baby fed with breast milk. This is a factor that prevents the formation of obesity. In this context, it is the parents of the babies or children who are overweight and obese, who are responsible for these situations, and who practice wrong eating habits. It is inevitable for children who consume more food than they need to be overweight.
Those who receive support from the visual feast on television in the face of the difficulties caused by babies or children fed by their mother, grandmother or caregiver, consciously or unconsciously gain this habit to the child. Children who are caught by the flowing visuals in advertisements or cartoons make it easier to eat and make it a reason for preference. In fact, there are mothers who consider this an advantage and exaggerate so much that they want to make it easier to eat by recording the things that the child enjoys watching and watching them during their feeding. Actually, this is a very dangerous situation. The stomach of the child who eats unnecessarily becomes quite large, forming the basis of obesity.
