1.Health Tip: Female Infertility
Struggles with food and obesity frequently start in childhood
Besides social rejection, overweight children face health risks such as diabetes and heart disease, according to the Johns Hopkins University Bayview Medical Center.
Here are some ways you can help your child avoid a weight problem:
Never put your child on a low-calorie deprivation diet. You can lower dietary fat, but maintain calories by increasing the consumption of fruit, vegetables, cereals, and breads.
Children who eat full meals do better nutritionally than children who merely snack. Your child should come to the table hungry, learn how to control hunger, and wait for his meal to be served.
Remove snack temptations around the house.
Don't use desserts and sweets as rewards.
Have family meals, and set a good example by eating a wide variety of foods.
Make mealtime pleasant. Don't use this time for criticizing and scolding.
2.Health Tip: Children Can Become Obese, Too
About 12 percent of women in the United States aged 15-44 have difficulty getting pregnant or carrying a baby to term, the U.S. government says.
Here is a list of risk factors for infertility, courtesy of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services:
Age, usually 35 or older.
Stress.
An unhealthy diet and/or body weight.
Excessive exercise or training.
Alcohol and tobacco use.
Sexually transmitted disease.
Any health condition that causes hormone levels to change.
