Thatha isinyathelo sokuqala ekubhekaneni nokukhuluphala kwengane
Akuyona imfihlo ukuthi ukukhuluphala kuye kwanda e-United States eminyakeni engamashumi amathathu edlule, futhi izingane azizange zivikeleke emzimbeni. Eqinisweni, ngokusho kwamaCenter for Disease Control (CDC), "Iphesenti labantwana abaneminyaka engama-6-11 e-United States abaye banamafutha kakhulu kunyuke kusuka kumaphesenti angu-7 ngo-1980 kuya kumaphesenti angu-18 ngo-2012." Njengomzali ingane encane, mhlawumbe uye waba matasa kakhulu ezama ukuhambisana nomncane wakho osebenzayo wokuthi kungenzeka ukuthi ingane yakho isuke ngokweqile noma ikhuluphele cishe enye yezinto zokugcina engqondweni yakho.
Ukukhuluphala kwabantwana
"Ngeshwa, ukukhuluphala sekuye kwavame phakathi kwabantwana abancane ezweni lethu," kusho uDkt. Amanda Staiano, okhulumela i-The Obesity Society noMsizi Ophrofesa eLobertana State University (LSU) ePennington Biomedical Research Center. "Ukulinganisa kwakamuva okusekelwe kwedatha emele izwe ukuthi amaphesenti angu-9,4 wezingane ezineminyaka engu-2 kuya kweyengu-5 anesibindi. Izindaba ezinhle ukuthi ngenkathi lokhu kusengaphezu kokukhula kweminyaka engu-25 eyedlule, empeleni kwehlile kusuka kumaphesenti angu-13.9 eminyakeni eyishumi edlule. Kodwa-ke, ukukhuluphala kuhlale kuphezulu kakhulu ezinganeni ezincane noma ezivela emakhaya aphansi kakhulu, kanti izinga lokukhuluphala ngokweqile (ukuphela okuphezulu kwesisindo somzimba) kuyaqhubeka nokwanda. "
Kubalulekile ukuthi abazali bangazinaki isisindo somntwana wabo. Ukweqa ngokweqile kubeka ingane engozini ephakeme yezimo zempilo eziningana, okubandakanya okunye okungase kuqale ngesikhathi seminyaka kanye nentsha, kuhlanganise nesifo sikashukela, isifo senhliziyo, isifo se-asthma, ezinye zegciwane.
Futhi, ngokusho kukaSteiano, izingane eziningi ezinokukhuluphala zibhekana nokuhlukunyezwa kontanga, okungaba yingozi ekuziqhakeni kwengane.
Ngenkathi ingane encane ingahle ingengozini yeyodwa yale miphumela esheshayo, kubalulekile ukuqaphela ukuthi kuba nzima ukuthola ingane emkhakheni othobekile ukuya kwisigaba esisindo esinempilo njengoba ingane ikhula ngoba imikhuba yokudla nemikhuba iyasebenza ihlanganisiwe futhi umehluko wesisindo uba mkhulu, kusho uSteiano.
"Ingane eneminyaka emibili ubudala ingadinga kuphela ukuhlala isisindo esifanayo izinyanga ezimbalwa ukuze ukuphakama kube" ukubamba, "kuyilapho ingane eneminyaka engu-10 ingadinga ukulahlekelwa amakhilogremu amaningana."
Indlela Yokutshela Uma Umntanakho Otholile
Kodwa wazi kanjani ukuthi ingane yakho ingaphezu komzimba noma ikhuluphele? Njengoba kufana nokuqondisisa, imoto eyinhloko, kanye namakhono amakhono okuhamba kahle , ububanzi bezinto "ezivamile" uma kuziwa ngesisindo somntwana usuhluka kakhulu futhi amakhilogremu ambalwa angenza umehluko omkhulu kuye ngokuthi ukuphakama. Ngaphezu kwalokho, akuyona into engavamile ukubona ingane encane ihlala isikhathi eside futhi incike eminithini ayifunde ukuhamba ngayo.
Ngokusho kukaSteiano, abazali bangazifundisa ngokuya kuyi-intanethi bese bethola isigaba sesisindo somntanakho. Sekuyiminyaka emibili nangaphezulu, i-CDC inikeza i-calculator evumela abazali ukuba bafake ulwazi lomntanakho futhi bafunde ukuthi ingane yabo encane ihlukaniswa njenge-underweight, isisindo esivamile, ukukhuluphala ngokweqile noma okugqamile. Qaphela: Le calculator isebenza kuphela ezinganeni ezineminyaka engu-2 nangaphezulu ngoba yilapho lapho ochwepheshe bezempilo beqala ukusebenzisa amashadi okukhula omzimba (BMI).
"Isizathu sokucabanga ukuthi i-calculator kubalulekile ukuthi akulula ngaso sonke isikhathi ukubona ukukhuluphala, ikakhulukazi ezincane ezisanda kukhula ngokushesha. Odokotela, abazali, kanye nothisha banenkinga enzima ehlukanisa ukukhuluphala ngokweqile ngokusekelwe ekubukeni, "kusho uSteiano.
"Ake sicabange ngesibonelo: Intombazane eneminyaka engu-2 ubudala enezinga eliphakeme elingamamitha angu-29, lingaphezu kwamakhilogremu angu-29, likhulu ngokweqile uma liphakathi kwamakhilogremu angu-35 no-37, futhi licindezela uma ngaphezulu kwamakhilogremu angu-38. Kungaba nzima ukuveza umehluko phakathi kwamakhilogremu ambalwa, ngakho-ke i-calculator iyasiza ngempela. "
Okufanele Uyenze Uma Umntwana Wakho Engaphezu Kakhulu
Ngakho-ke yini okufanele uyenze uma ingane yakho encane ibhekwa njengokwedlula ngokweqile noma okugqamile? Ngokusho kukaSteiano, asikho isidingo sokwesaba.
"Ukufunda ingane yakho kubhekwa njengokugqamile noma ngokweqile] kusho ukuthi uhlome ulwazi ngolwazi lwezempilo yengane yakho," kuchaza uSteiano.
Futhi uma usuhlome ulwazi, ungathatha isinyathelo. "
Njengomzali okhathazekile ngesisindo somntanakho, into yokuqala okufanele uyenze yenza i-aphoyintimenti ingane yengane yakho. Ngokubambisana, ungavela necebo.
"Udokotela wezingane kufanele ahlele ukuphakama kwengane nokukala kwakhe eshadini lokukhula futhi ukhulume nabazali ngezindlela zokusiza ingane yakhe idle imphilo futhi ifinyelele emzimbeni," kusho uSteiano. "Uma useneminyaka engu-1 noma 2 ubudala ubudala, umgomo awukona ukuthi ingane ilahlekelwe isisindo, kodwa kunalokho kunganciphisa ukuncipha kwesisindo noma ukugcina isisindo sinye. Lokhu kuvumela ukuphakama kwengane ukuba 'ibambe up 'isisindo somntwana.
Kubuye kusize uma abazali belungiselela kusengaphambili ukuze baxoxe nodokotela wabo omncane. "Esikhathini se-LSU sikaPennington Biomedical Research Center, senzele i-toolkit ikakhulukazi e-Louisiana izingane zezingane, kodwa le thuluzi lezincwadi liyatholakala mahhala kubazali noma kuphi. Linikeza umbono walokho odokotela okufanele bayenze ukuze bahlolisise imindeni yokukhuluphala nokululeka ekulawuleni isisindo. Abazali bangalanda i-toolkit futhi bayamukelekile ukuyiphrinta futhi bathathe amanye amakhasi kudokotela wabo ukuze basize ingxoxo, "kusho uSteiano.
Amathiphu Ekhaya Asemtholampilo Onempilo
Abazali kufanele bazizwe banamandla okwenza izinguquko ekhaya, kungakhathaliseki ukuthi isisindo sesisindo ingane ingena kuyo. Ukwenza izinguquko ezinempilo kungasiza ukuqinisekisa ukuthi banciphisa ingozi yokukhuluphala kwengane. Nazi iziphakamiso ezimbalwa ukuze uqale:
- Khuthaza ingane yakho ukuthi izame ukudla okunomsoco. Wonke umuntu uyazi ukuthi izingane ezincane ziyaziwa ngokuthi zikhethile , kodwa qhubeka uqhuma izithelo, izigulane, izinhlamvu ezigcwele kanye namaprotheni ahlanzekile. Ukucwaninga kubonisa ukuthi kungathatha ukumbalwa okuncane kokudla okusha ngaphambi kokukholisa ingane encane ukuba izame, kancane kancane. Zama amalungiselelo ahlukene wezinkomo ezishintsha indlela ukudla okuzizwa ngayo emlonyeni (cabanga ukuthi i-crunchy ngokuxubene nokuxubha ngokukhathaniswa nokuhlanjululwa). Okuthile okulula njengokulungiselela kungasiza ukwandisa amathuba okuba ingane yakho "ekhethiwe" izofika ekugcineni.
- Uma ungabaza, gxilisa ama-veggies ekudleni owaziyo ukuthi ingane yakho izoyidla. Engeza ama-veggies aqoshiwe okwe-mac kanye noshizi noma uhlanganise i-smoothie eluhlaza nebhanana, ama-strawberries, nesipinashi. Isithelo kufanele senze kube mnandi ngokwanele ukuba sinambitheka njengokwelapha.
- Qinisekisa ukuthi ingane yakho ibona abazali bayo bedla ukudla okunomsoco. Eqinisweni, qala imikhuba yokudla komndeni enempilo manje-ngokushesha kungcono. Ukupheka ukudla okunomsoco. Vala omakhalekhukhwini, ithelevishini, namanye amadivaysi, futhi uhlale phansi ndawonye ukuze uthole ukudla kwasekhaya.
- Gcina isikhathi sesikrini esincane. Ukunyuka kwesikrini isikhathi esiningi kungasho ukuthi kuncipha ngesikhathi esisebenzayo, isikhathi somsakazo singasho nokuthi ingane yakho ibona izimakethe zokudla okushukela kanye nezitshalo ezifaka izinhlamvu ezimibalabala (futhi ezinokuheha) abalingiswa be-cartoon kanye nama-jingles abambekayo. "Abantfwana nabasenkulisa abaqondi ukuthi lezo zentengiso zenzelwe ukukholisa," kusho uSteiano. "Uma ingane yakho izobukela i-TV, thola izikhangiso futhi wenze umdlalo wokuxhumana ojabulisayo ngesikhathi sekhefu!" Noma, sebenzisa isevisi efana ne-Netflix noma i-Hulu futhi weqa zonke izimakethe.
- Qinisekisa ukuthi ingane yakho ithola ukudla okuningi, uma kungenjalo, izinsuku zeviki- nangaphandle uma kungenzeka. Yiqiniso, asikho isidingo sokuba umkhuba wokuzivocavoca "ohleliwe" nomntwana omncane noma ongasenkulisa. Thatha ingane yakho ezindaweni zokudlala zendawo, uyibhalise ekilasini encane , njengokushaya, ibhola noma umdanso, noma umane amgijimele egcekeni. Ungaphinda usebenzise umzimba njalo isikhathi somndeni. Zama ekilasini lomzali nengane ye-yoga, ibhayisikili eya emakethe yamafama, futhi umane uzibandakanye emisebenzini yomzimba noma kunini uma unakho.
- Gcina ijusi yesithelo sibe mncane. Ngenkathi isiphuzo sesithelo singafakwa kanye ngesinye isikhathi njengengxenye yokudla okunempilo komntwana, kungcono ukunamathela emanzini uma kungenzeka. Ijusi yezithelo kaningi inamakha amathandayo futhi ashukela, afana namakhalori angenalutho angeke agcwalise ingane yakho.
- Qinisekisa isimiso esivumela ingane yakho ukuba ithole ubuthongo obuningi. Ukuphumula nokusiza ngesikhathi sokulala ukugcina ingane iphumule kahle, okusho ukuthi ingane yakho encane ngeke ibe yinto encane yokuba yinkinga noma ingabi nesibindi ngokusikisela kokudla okusha noma ukuhlanganyela emisebenzini (phakathi kwezizathu eziningi eziningi zokugcina ingane yakho encane ohlelweni).
- Yiba ummeli wengane yakho lapho engakunakekeli. "Cabanga ngokuthi indawo ingane yakho ichitha isikhathi nezindlela zokwenza impilo ibe ngcono," kusho uSteiano. "Uma ingane yakho iya esikoleni sokunakekela izingane zasenkulisa noma esontweni, thola ukuthi ingane iyondliwa, yimuphi uhlobo lomsebenzi owenziwa yingane usuku ngalunye, nokuthi kungakanani isikhathi (uma ikhona) isikrini esivunyelwe. Bese uthole izindlela zokusiza isikhungo sithuthukisa izinqubomgomo nemikhuba yokudala imvelo enempilo kubo bonke abantwana. "
Ekugcineni, njengomzali wengane encane, khumbula ukuthi ungafundisa imikhuba manje enganciphisa ubungozi bokukhuluphala kwengane noma ukukhuluphala kamuva ekuphileni. Ngaphezu kwalokho, kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi izingane zakho ezincane zikubukele futhi kudingeka usebenzise lokho okukushumayelayo.
"Ukuphila okunempilo kungomndeni wonke," kusho uSteiano. "Uma ingane eyodwa ibhekene nokukhuluphala ngokweqile, wonke umndeni kufanele udle impilo enempilo futhi uhambe ndawonye. Kulimaza ukukhomba ingane eyodwa uma izingane zakubo (noma abazali!) Zingadli ukudla okunempilo noma ukuthola umzimba."
