Risk of Obesity in Child Can be Helped with Acupuncture
Obesity means having too much fat. As I helped you understand the body mass index in the last post (BMI), today I want to discuss how our children are in dire need of help. Children grow fast. And sometimes a child can go from just being a little overweight to obese in a short time. So, What should a parent do?
Realize Weight Loss is Not an Event But a Lifestyle
All too many times I have patients ask about dieting. I am especially concerned when this is asked for a child. The first thing that comes to mind is to emphasize that the word diet does not necessarily mean a weight loss program. Diet is a way of eating. And your body is designed to eat certain things. You may wish to change that, however your body will not respond in kind.
Are you a Chevy or a Ferrari?
Imagine you just purchased a new car. Wow, they are expensive! So, you commit the finances, soon you discover that you cannot afford the upkeep of the vehicle. You cannot even afford the gas now. Oh well, you think, maybe you can find something a little less expensive to fill the tank. Hmm, maybe water will work. And to your surprise the fuel gauge shows full. Great you fixed that problem the tank is full.
What Went Wrong?
You get in your car, turn the key, it will not run. Something is wrong, the fuel gauge shows it is full. You tow your car back to the dealership, complain to the mechanic that this car will not run. In his analysis, he discovers your scheme, water in the tank. He explains the problem and the solution, put the right fuel in the tank. And your response is, you cannot afford it. He then tells you to get your car out of the garage and do not bring it back until you are ready to use the right fuel.
See The Comparison!
Your body is like the car. You need to realize there is no quick fix. You have to put the right fuel in your tank. As much as you try to convince yourself there is an easy fix, there is not. Eat right, and when you think you are doing well, do even better.
What About Your Kids?
This can be tough. Many outside forces tempt your children. This is where AcuAids comes in. One of the benefits of AcuAids is the support it provides, helping an individual create a mindset, identity of a thin person and control over their appetite.
