Baby Fat May Not Be So Cute After All

The issue is obesity with children in the USA. There are many precautions that have already been taken such as taking away cupcakes from cafeteria or other fat food. But some research made us find out that obesity sometimes starts when we are babies. Here are some facts about this.

¶The chubby cherub-like baby who is growing so nicely may be growing too much for his or her own good

¶Babies whose mothers smoked during pregnancy are at risk of becoming obese, even though the babies are usually small at birth.

¶Babies who sleep less than 12 hours are at increased risk for obesity later. If they don’t sleep enough and also watch two hours or more of TV a day, they are at even greater risk.

A progressive thinker would think of solutions that would work on the long run but that would be effective. He would find reasonable actions to take and take them and make changes. Also , the decisions he will make will be very thoughtful and smart.
