10、commodate the fat inside our bodies.The problem with Childhood FatIf a child becomes fat their body processes can change.

11、ed. So a fat child can have up to three times as many as a normal child. Eventually, fat cells stop multiplying and an adult has a fixed number for the rest of their life. The existing cells simply enlarge or shrink to accommodate more fat.Health problems for kids Few health problems are observed in
12、 obsess children. But they may develop conditions that cause problems later in life, such as high blood pressure.They may also suffer from “sleep apnoea (呼吸暂停)“.

15、nts Are Available?New drugs Current weigh-loss drugs are mainly amphetamine (安非他明，一种药品) based. They increase the amount of some hormones in the blood, lowering hunger levels.

To become healthier doesnt require huge weight loss.Advice on Childhood FatProfessor Jane Wardle, an expert on childhood fat, gives
18、 her advice-on helping children lose weight.(1) Should kids ever be made of finish whats on their plate? Dont force children to eat more when they say they are full otherwise they could lose their ability to naturally regulate what they eat. Before serving up a second portion, wait a few minutes. It
19、 takes some time for the messages that tell us we have had enough to eat to reach the brain.(2) Can giving kids food as a reward cause fat? Using food as a reward is never a good idea because your child will learn to value certain “treat“ foods and may turn to food for comfort. Use non-food rewards
20、instead they dont need to be large material rewards. One of the best motivators is praise!(3) Is it worth forbidding fattening foods? Forbidding certain foods can make them seem more attractive. Teach your child about the health value of foods, particularly those that are rich in vitamins and nutrie
21、nts. Make your home a healthy food zone. Fill up the fruit bowl instead of buying biscuits and crisps. Your child is likely to model themselves on your behavior, so choose healthy food options whenever possible.(4) Should I offer my child a choice of food? Research has shown that when there is more
22、choice available we tend to eat more. Even the sight or smell of tempting food can override the bodys natural mechanism of regulation so we eat when were not hungry. You might want to offer your child a choice, but keep the options to a minimum.(5) At what age should kids be treated for fat? Parents
23、 of even young children can make sure the family changes to a healthy lifestyle rather than targeting weight loss specifically. Children grow at different rates and many overweight children will “grow out of it“ as they grow taller. Few treatments are targeted at children under the age of seven year
24、s. From age 8 to 10, a child who is fat should have a medical evaluation to assess the severity of the problem. The older your child is, the less likely they are to grow out of it. A 15-year-old who is over-weight is likely to remain so in adulthood.2 “body mass index“ or BMI can be used to indicate
