There are many ways to prevent weight gain and reverse childhood obesity. “It’s important for children who are overweight to have access to safe and livable environments that are conducive to physical activity, such as bike paths, playgrounds, and safe opportunities to be active,” says Dr. Lee.
Parents need to stay active. “Try to find activities that your children enjoy and participate with them if you can,” Dr. Lee says.
Healthy eating is also key. We also need to make problem foods less accessible. Pack healthier lunches, serve low-fat, high-fiber meals, and replace sugary and starchy snacks with healthier choices.
Dr. Lee recommends using the “5-2-1-0” rule as a daily guide:
- At least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables
- No more than 2 hours of screen time
- At least 1 hour of exercise
- 0 sugary beverages
