Overcoming Buncit for the Baby Belly

Distended stomach problems are now much more focused on adults, but young children are now too many of his stomach was distended. This condition should not be ignored and must be addressed.

Studies show distended stomach problems in children has increased by 65 percent in recent years. This is not a good sign because it could be a risk factor of a number of diseases.

Fat in the stomach is often regarded as a predictor of heart disease and diabetes risk. And children who have bloated stomach if left alone will increase the risk of becoming obese.

Generally, children today eat junk food high in fat are known and the cause of the problem, and consumption of foods that are not nutritious. This condition is responsible for the accumulation of fat in the body.

Often parents do not have time to provide fresh food to give processed foods. All foods rich in calories is changed into fat and stored in different parts of the body, which mostly occurred around the abdomen.

Also at this time children spend more time in front of the television or computer and rarely do physical activity, so fat that accumulate in the stomach is not removed and will continue to accumulate.

"We measure the waistlines of children have become a vital thing in any investigation conducted," said Stephen Cook, MD of the University of Rochester Medical Center's Golisano Children's Hospital, as quoted by WebMD, Tuesday (24/05/2011).

But now measure the waist of children are considered important, especially in children who have a ratio of waist and body height in percentile 90 or more as an indicator of abdominal obesity.

As a parent, the first change that must be performed on children are:
1. Eliminate belly fat by reducing consumption of unhealthy foods. Initially children may be refused but try to give the sense that along with being a real example of the dangers of fat in the abdomen and some strict rules.

2. If your child likes to snack, try to set aside time to make an interesting snack for children with more nutritious ingredients and fresh.

3. Increase the physical activity for children like to invite roads in the park, washing the car or playing with pets.

4. Should not give too strict diet because it can lead to child malnutrition in the future. But encourage your child to eat healthy foods and give him an example to be followed by a child. That would reduce the risk of children exposed to several diseases.
