Breastfeeding is one of the best precautions against childhood obesity. In general, the food the child receives during pregnancy and the first year of life is of great importance.
- Prevention comes first and foremost by families: it is about showing the example, through a healthy diet and regular activity.
- The child's diet is divided into three meals and a snack a day.
- A minimum of activity is essential: a child must move often, and if possible, walk at least thirty minutes each day.
- The time spent in front of the screens (TV, console, computer ...) must be limited, and equal to the time spent in physical activities!
- To proscribe absolutely: nibbling and sweet drinks!
