Child Hood Obesity is serious concern.
Obesity is defined as abnormal or excessive fat accumulation that may impair health.
Childhood obesity is a medical condition that affects children and teenagers. Everyone has a body shape that is just right for him or her but sometimes we can store excessive body fat.
A healthy weight trajectory is where height and weight change proportionally together as children develop.
When children are off the healthy weight trajectory, their weight gain is disproportionate to their change in height, meaning the gain of body fat that can negatively impact his or her healthy development and health overall. If a child or adult stores too much fat they can be classified as overweight or obese. A sign of childhood obesity is a weight well above the average for a child’s height and age.
If left unchecked, research shows that these children are more likely to become obese adults and thus more likely to experience compromised health due to chronic disease, contributing to growing personal and health care costs.
Most childhood unhealthy weights are caused by children eating too much and not exercising enough. Societal trends have dramatically altered the nature of play and the way children interact with their environment.
These trends have included a significant decrease in outdoor recreation, sleep and healthy eating opportunities and now promote an increased dependence on electronic media and sedentary activities.
Researchers all over the globe have proved that not only does yoga help in reducing the stress and anxiety in a kid's life but also helps them improve their concentration levels.
It needs to be taught to children in a manner that they enjoy and should aim to focus their endeavors in a positive direction. Yoga helps children improve their overall personality, mental and emotional balance, and improve team player skills.
All of these skills will stand your child in good stead and help him or her navigate life's treacherous pathways successfully.
Child yoga not only benefits a child in achieving the required physical, mental, and emotional growth but also makes them adept at handling any stressful conditions in their life.
This work-life balance is as important to children as anyone of us, and yoga practice ensures it in many a ways. Yoga should be treated as an extra curricular activity aimed at children to make them learn how to deal better with life and its varying degrees of complexity by including a fun element which they can love and associate with.
