A nswer (continued from at time): Dear Pamela, aegarding the epidemic of childhood obesity, the question naturally arises, "What can be done about it?" First, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) states that the goal for overweight children and teens is to reduce the rate of weight gain while allowing normal growth and development. Children and teens should NOT be placed on a weight reduction diet without the consultation of ..,\ a health care provider. t ,?... . ) ' With that in mind, the CDC offers the following sensible action steps for parents and guardians: (1) Encourage healthy eating habits by provid- ing/encouraging: (a). plenty of fruits, veg- etables, and whole grain products; (b) low or non-fat dairy products; (c) lean meats, poultry, fish, lentils, and beans for protein; (d) reasonably- sized portions; (e) drinking lots of water; and (f) limiting sugar and saturated fat intake. (2) Look for ways to make favorite dishes healthier. (3) Avoid calorie-rich temptations; (4) Help kids stay active—reduce sedentary time. I hope this helps.
