Childhood Obesity Health Risks, Diagnosis and Treatment

We all know that obesity can increase the possibility of certain serious diseases significantly. Many times the seeds of obesity are sown in childhood, since significant weight gained in childhood often carried into adulthood.

That is not the only concern that exists with regards to childhood obesity. Childhood obesity is also the cause behind various adult diseases that are being reported in children and adolescents. The incidence of such diseases was previously almost nonexistent among children and teens. Therefore, it can presumed that obesity plays a significant role in causing certain so called ‘adult ailments’ in our children.

Although adult diseases in children can also occur due to genetic and environmental reasons, there has been a 400% increase in the number of obese children of ages 6 years and older in the last two and a half decades. Obesity is a health risk, which has been accepted by all experts. It exposes children to the following health problems:

1. Hypertension - Research reveals that hypertension is more frequent, nearly nine times more, in obese Type 2 Diabetes - Obese children, especially those with a family history of type 2 diabetes, run a significantly greater risk of developing the disease.

2. Orthopedic complications - The cartilage in lower limbs and joints in children is at a developmental stage. Obesity can damage the cartilage since it is unable to bear more than average weight.

3. Sleep apnea - This is characterized as difficulty breathing and the absence of respiration during sleep.

4. Depression - The psychological and social stigma that is associated with obesity can be more traumatic during childhood and adolescence. This can lead to mental disorders like depression.

5. Asthma – Many obese children are at risk of developing asthma due to a lack of pulmonary exercise, as well as a prolonged exposure to dust mites and other household allergens from leading a sedentary lifestyle.

Parents should consult their child’s pediatrician to determine whether their child is obese. This is because you have to first eliminate the weight gain due to the natural growth process of a child. Pediatricians have standardized growth charts that can easily tell whether your child is obese for his age and height. There are other factors that need to be considered in terms of childhood obesity:

1. Body Mass Index (BMI) - A statistic based on a child’s height and weight and calculated in a percentile for children and adolescents between the ages of 2 and 19. Typically, an overweight child is at or above the 95th percentile on the BMI-for-age growth chart.

2. Height and BMI - Taller children normally have a higher BMI.

3. Heredity - A family history of obesity, cigarette smoking, sedentary lifestyle, early cardiovascular diseases, high cholesterol and type 2 diabetes need to be considered.
Signs of stress of weight on lower limbs and joints - Orthopedic problems are common among obese children and teens.

Absence of logical thinking - This is a symptom that often accompanies obesity and sleep apnea.
A definite and positive approach towards weight loss solutions is of utmost importance when it comes to treating childhood obesity. There are many options that you can consider:
Dietary therapy can help in obtaining herbal weight loss. This will ensure that your child does not need to take strong weight loss medication that is known to have side effects.
Treating childhood obesity with the aid of natural weight loss programs is recommended. This involves participating in physical activities in and/or outside of school. Encourage them to take up a recreational activity or sport.

A change in behavior and shift to a healthy lifestyle and nutritious diet. Further, avoiding over-dependence on fast foods can help in treating childhood obesity.
Surgical options, like a gastric bypass, should be considered only as a last resort when nothing else works for your child. Keep in mind that all invasive therapies, such as surgery, have risks.
Childhood obesity can potentially ruin the health of an entire generation. It is incumbent upon parents and teachers to discourage over-dependence on computer games and junk foods and motivate children toward active living and healthy diets.

Q: How does the online consultation work. Remember this is a FREE service...no office call charges and you get to save your gas money for those all important shopping sprees!!

A: Online consultations are an innovation in health care that utilizes the Internet to improve patient access to the physician. Under this system, the patient no longer needs to receive a traditional physical exam by the physician, rather the patient completes an online questionnaire, and this questionnaire is then submitted to the physician using our secure order system. In must be said that online consultations can never take the place of traditional medicine, they do provide a valid means for patients to receive treatment for a number of conditions that, in many circumstances, do not actually require a physical exam.
Our company is committed to meeting and exceeding all government regulations covering this new form of health care provision. http://MJLMegaMeds.com will only refer your order to certified physicians that are fully licensed.

THE DERMATOLOGIST FROM HELL!!


Thanks for reading my Blog I hope some of my information has been helpful to you in your every day life. I have some personal information that I experienced and I thought I would pass it along to everyone. This is for everyone living in the St. Louis area and having the need for a Dermatologist. I had a mole located on my chest that had been there for many, many years. I was always told that if a growth like that ever changed in any way to have it looked at by a doctor. Well mine changed so I went to my General Practitioner. He said it wasn't cancerous but should be removed and referred me to a Dermatologist Dr. J.B.G. I use the term "doctor" very loosely. Not having ever been to a Dermatologist I really didn't know what to expect. The first visit was all information gathering with her nurses and SHE (the doctor) came in the room, spent about 8 minutes and kinda poked at the mole a couple times and took a picture of it. Now I would describe it (the mole) as about the size of a jelly bean, not the real jelly beans but those smaller ones sometimes called "birds eggs". So she scheduled a day for the procedure in her office there in the Physicians Office Bldg. on Dunn Rd. St. Louis Mo. Now not being a medical person I didn't think this was going to m be a big deal. You know 10 - 15 minutes snip, snip it's done ....right? NOPE, it took about an hour and 17 stitches!!!! Take a look..............


OUCH. During the "procedure" SHE cut me in 3 diffrent spots that were not numbed and I thought I was gonna DIE!! Never did SHE apologize or give any indication that SHE was concerned about hurting me and didn't even acknowledged that SHE did hurt me. After it was over I was instructed not to put any kind of antibiotics cream or any dressing over it and was not prescribed antibiotics of any kind. I was told to just use Vaseline. To "CUT" the story short after the stitches were taken out 2 weeks later the spot looked really nasty, again SHE showed no concern at all. 2 weeks after the stitches were removed I went back for a check up and this is what it looked like then.
I finally went to another Doctor and HE cleaned it and prescribed antibiotics cream and pills and it all cleared up in about 10 days. So if anyone out there has a story like this and would like to talk about it (without nameing names) feel free to post it here.

Making A Toddler Hooded Bath Towel

Opting for a well-made hooded toddler bath towel is a sound proposition. It protects your toddler from exposure to the outside temperature when he gets out of the water in a bath. Children lose heat very quickly, and the risk of catching a cold is so much greater. A hooded towel can protect your child from the head down to the legs. It also helps the body regain heat quickly.

Sometimes it is a pattern that makes all the difference in the looks of the towel. Plain towels look mundane, but a small pattern on the hood can give it a very appealing and attractive look. Actually, a pattern on the hooded towel can be a convenient thing that you can talk to your baby about while giving him a bath or drying him up.

If you are making a hooded towel at home, you can choose from numerous ideas for patterns to put on the hood or the body of the towel. Educational patterns like alphabets are appropriate for a baby girl or a baby boy alike. The same applies to cartoon characters like Winnie the Pooh and Mickey Mouse. For girls, you can choose a fairy or some thing dainty that she will like as she grows.

It is not all that difficult to put patterns on the towel, hooded or otherwise. You can download pictures from the internet and trace them where you want to put them. After tracing, you may either simply embroider the outline of the figure or choose to fill in the body also. Make sure that the stitches that you make as you move along the trace are tight. If you are not good at embroidery, you can opt for some non-toxic fabric paint. On the other hand, you can simply take time off to shop around for a ready-to-apply motif and stitch it on to the towel. Baby time is shopping time. Everything you need is available at http://www.MJLMegaMeds.com. Just follow the links to Native Remedies then click on the links to Natural ECO and your there. The perfect first towels for your little one! These towels are made from the softest terry cloth to protect your baby's delicate skin. All of our towels are made out of the highest quality organic cotton and are luxuriously soft to the touch.

It is also time for you to devote some time to the health aspect of your baby. Be sure to buy only organic items for your baby. Organic products do not harm babies as they are free from dangerous chemicals. If you wish to learn more about how organic products can help in the healthy growth of your child, invest in some informative literature on the subject. Or better yet, log on to the World Wide Web where you will find a sea of information on the benefits of an organic lifestyle.
