The Ministry of Health and Population has outlined a number of steps to help treat obesity in children.
Childhood obesity is a serious medical condition for children and adolescents, and it is particularly worrisome because excess weight often puts children on the path to health problems that were previously considered adult problems, such as diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Childhood obesity leads to low self-esteem and depression.
The steps identified by the Ministry of Health to treat obesity in children include:
1- Changing the child’s nutritional behavior to a healthy nutritional behavior
2-Reduce eating sweets
3- Avoid eating in front of the TV
4- Eat healthy meals such as yogurt and fruits
5- Reducing the intake of crisps
6-Reduce drinking canned juices
7- Reducing food intake with hydrogenated fats
8- Interest in exercising
