Bad Effect Fat Children

Besides increasing the risk of serious disease, excess fat also trigger depression in children.

Not be denied child nutrition in Indonesia becomes a very complex issue. Not only does poor nutrition or malnutrition, but also of excess nutrients that lead to obesity in children.
Based Health Research Association in 2010, hit 14 percent of overweight children nationwide. A total of 14.9 percent hit residents with high incomes, and 12.4 percent in the population who lack the material.
"The evidence suggests that children with malnutrition and excess nutrients either a large number of rich or poor families. This shows that not the amount of intake was wrong, but his diet is wrong," said dr Minarto, MPS, DPP Chairman Persagi in the seminar 'Nutrition More , The Future of Children Hidden Threats Indonesia, 'Wednesday, April 20, 2011.
Number of children who are obese continues to increase every year. In 2007, there were 12.2 percent and in 2010 to 14.2 percent. According to Dr. Minarto, was due to consumption of unhealthy food.
Based on the Directory of Development of Food Consumption, BKP, 2009, oil and fat consumption has exceeded the maximum limit of 114 percent. Excess rice consumption is also up to 118.5 percent. "This is what lead to our children tend to grow short and fat," he added.
Dr Rini Sekartini of Indonesian Pediatric Association, added, obesity in children can result in negative impacts on the physical and psychological. Physical impact is to increase the risk of cardiovascular disease, sleep disorders, neurological disorders, the risk of diabetes and joint disease.
While the psychological impact of obesity in children are depression, low self-esteem, and excessive dieting. "This happened because the children feel confident and does not differ from other children that he wanted to thin with the wrong diet," said Dr. Rini.
In addition, the stigma that children with obesity is children who are lazy, slow, and stupid so that more children are cornered. The psychological impact is more occur in childrenwomen.
According to Dr. Dr.Saptawati Bardosono from the Department of Nutritional Sciences KFUI-RSCM, obesity occurs because of several factors: environment, cultural factors, and lifestyle.
The kids used to watch television attack ads with unhealthy snacks. It encourages children to eat them. In addition, assuming the child sign of healthy fat also encourage most mothers give excessive intake for children. "Moreover, the selection of healthy infants was based on obesity in children," he said.
Parents are also very responsible to the diet of children. Therefore, children imitate the lifestyle of parents and teachers. "Therefore, they must be exemplary to their children in to manage your diet and exercise," Dr. Dr.Saptawati meambahkan.
Based on research that observed the pattern of life of children, over 40 percent of children have excess calories, and 80 percent of children experienced excess protein. All this because of the habit of eating excessive sweet milk. "Intake of sugar in children not only from lactose, but also from added sugar."
Moreover, there is the custom in the community if the child is fussy do not want to eat, parents do not want to be bothered by simply giving their children milk sweet. This has resulted in increasing the number of children with obesity in Indonesia.
To overcome this, consider the child's nutritional intake. Not only at home and the environment, but also at school. Make sure children consume less energy intake, but still consider the percentage of carbohydrate intake by 50 percent, 16 percent protein, and fat 34 percent.
Children were encouraged to move much because the more energy wasted the more calories are discarded. Early detection of physical and psychological impact of children, and child behavior and emotions. If a child is detected having the risk of obesity, immediately involve psychologists. Facing the child must be patient.
