Fat children-the fruit of motherly love

Love is blind, especially if we are talking about the love of mothers for their children. Scottish researchers have proved that a loving mother skarmlivali offspring and not even notice obvious signs of obesity in children fat.

As the results of the survey, only 3% of mothers whose family grow full of children, and 30% of mothers of children with more serious problem of obesity concerned about the excess weight of the child due to the fact that excessive weight can damage his health.

Largely a factor of childhood obesity, according to experts, is the wrong behavior of their mothers who overeat themselves and overfeed their own children. Was, for example, that in families where the mother is overweight, obese children are found twice as often, with 14% of women know that it is a disease, but do not do anything for your child. "This fact contributes to the rapid spread of childhood obesity in developed countries", - convinced the experts.

Their study proves that there is some relationship between fatness in children and family policy of their parents. The lower the age of the child when he is allowed to eat candy and chips, the higher his likelihood of obesity. No Breakfast, a habit to eat in front of the computer or TV, the lack of control over the child's diet also increase this risk.

In turn, scientists from Oxford University in the UK reminded that achieving and maintaining a healthy weight is necessary before conception of the child. As was established at Oxford specialists, poor diet women before pregnancy and during it often leads to the birth of a large baby. Meanwhile, large birth weight baby automatically detects it at risk - such children are more likely to develop certain types of leukemia and other cancers.

In particular, it was found that children who at birth weighed more than four pounds, the risk of developing cancer before the age of 14 to 16 percent higher than their peers who were born weighing from three to three and a half kg. And the likelihood of developing acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common type of leukemia in children is increased by six percent for each additional 500 g birth weight.
