Jakarta, 11 July 2016 – The rising trend of childhood obesity in Indonesia is becoming a significant health concern. High-calorie diets, lack of physical activity, and minimal parental supervision increase the risk of obesity from an early age. This condition not only affects weight but also bone growth, posture, and the long-term health of children
Education on Diet and Active Lifestyle
During the MILO Champ Squad Press Conference, dr. Grace Judio-Kahl explained the important role parents play in controlling their children’s intake and lifestyle to promote growth and development and reduce the risk of obesity. While genetics do play a part, dr. Grace noted that approximately 50% of obesity risk is actually driven by lifestyle choices. Therefore, it is important to monitor calorie intake according to age, set a regular meal schedule, and limit consumption of foods high in sugar and fat.
The role of parents does not stop at monitoring food intake. dr. Grace also reminded parents that excessive intake without supervision can interfere with growth and development, including bone strength and mobility. Parents need to provide balanced nutritional choices at home, teach children to recognize when they are full, and encourage daily physical activity. With consistent monitoring and a supportive home environment, the risk of obesity can be significantly reduced, allowing every child to reach their optimal growth potential.
