The Nutrition Coach on child obesity

Childhood Obesity

Childhood Obesity is rapidly increasing, leading to many health and emotional problems.

With a child's fat cells being laid down in the first five years, it is essential to help your child achieve a healthy weight to try and prevent issues later on in life. Just think.washing a piece of fruit takes the same time as opening a packet of sweets or crisps.

We are seeing what used to be thought of as older people's diseases, occurring much earlier in life, e.g.

  • Heart Disease
  • Cancers
  • Diabetes
  • Arthritis
  • Stroke
  • Constipation
Obesity in children and child constipation
An overweight child can lead to many health problems. The Nutrition Coach can help combat obesity in children with a strict child nutrition plan. An improved diet will help with issues such as child constipation and diabetes.

Globesity, is a word The World Health Organisation used when stating that there are around 300 million obese adults, with an estimated 17.6 million under 5's being overweight worldwide. Obesity is estimated to account for approximately 30,000 premature deaths a year in the UK. and Childhood obesity now affects nearly one in seven 15 year olds.

At The Nutrition Coach we recognise that children as well as adults are individuals and encouraging them to eat healthily can sometime be hard work.

With clever marketing, media and peer pressure, the increase of modern-day convenience foods and little education about the impact of diet on health, a parent's job can seem like a thankless task.

We offer practical, balanced advice about your child's nutrition and aim to make it as user-friendly as possible.
