Globally, more than 22 million kids younger than five suffer from obesity. This not only has an impact on their quality of life, but also on their health - now and in future. But parents can take simple steps to keep their kids in shape.
Take action:Keep lots of fruit and veggies on hand - the goal is five servings a day; other nutritious snacks include yoghurt, peanut butter and celery, and whole-grain crackers and cheese; serve lean meats and other healthy sources of protein such as eggs and nuts; limit fat consumption by avoiding fried foods; opt for healthier cooking methods, such as baking and grilling; limit sugary drinks, such as soda and fruit-flavoured drinks - instead, serve water and milk; and sneak more exercise into the day without making it a chore - try riding bikes or going to the park as a family.
