Most of us will not accept that parents are the reason behind their child having obesity. It is not just because of genes, doctors say, but it could be parents negligence that children might end up being obese.
Child psychologists say that the same parents who help their children with studies, and games, do not help their children with exercise. Instead here are some tips that parents can try and remember and help their child:
- Spend 5-10 minutes with children talking about nutrition in a playful and yet a serious manner.
- Take a walk before/after supper and state the reasons why you do it.
- Eat together whenever possible. Do not try and sit in front of TV or Laptop while you eat.
- Know your child’s dietary habits at school.
Also, if as a parent you are already aware that your child is overweight, and is feeling embarrassed by it, you need to take even more care. You need to inculcate in them that they can work on their weight,. Also tell them that the best answer to any kind of ‘comments’ on their weights is to loose weight! But make sure you do that with of lot of careful words.

Feet stink while you wear shoes. If your foot remains wet, bacteria makes them stink and if they are too dry, fungi make them stink. Persistent feet stink is because of the combination of both the situations.
Stinking feet are very much curable. The only word that can keep you from feet stink is “Hygiene”. Here are a few tips to keep your feet from stinking:
- Change your socks every two days. If you have more than one pair of shoes keep changing the pairs in three days time.
- Wash your feet after removing your socks and wipe them dry.
- Use synthetic socks instead of cotton ones. This is because cotton socks retain moisture and synthetic socks don’t.
- For people who have severe feet stink, try soaking your feet in tea. The tannin in tea helps prevent bacteria.
- When the shoes start stinking, put them in a plastic bag and keep them in the freezer for 24 hours and that will kill the bacteria.
If you are unable to control the bad odor then perhaps you need medical help. Doctors or podiatrists will prescribe anti-fungal and anti-bacterial medicine to help you combat stinking feet.

Enjoying the eating process without focus on dietary restrictions may be key to managing weight and staying healthy, as per scientists who have unveiled a new and effective model for managing eating.
The Satter Eating Competence Model, also known as ecSatter, was created by Ellyn Satter, a registered dietitian, family therapist and author of Secrets of Feeding a Healthy Family, Kelcy Press.
Competent eaters are positive, flexible and comfortable with their eating habits and make it a priority to regularly provide themselves with enjoyable and nourishing food. They guide food intake based on the internal processes of hunger, appetite and satisfaction, and rely on the bodys innate ability to maintain a preferred and stable weight.
Satter observes that the eating competence model cultivates effective eating attitudes and behavior by emphasizing permission and discipline:
- The permission to choose food you enjoy and eat it in amounts you find satisfying.
- The discipline to provide yourself with regular and reliable meals and snacks and to pay attention when you eat them.
Being eating competent appears to mirror overall-well being, notes Satter of Madison, Wis. People with high eating competence feel more effective, are more self-aware and are more trusting and comfortable both with themselves and with other people.
Barbara Lohse, associate professor of nutritional sciences at Penn State, directed the research on ecSatter. Lohse underscores the models attention to psychological and biological needs.
"A number of of us have eating problems, because as children, we are forced into eating more or less food than we need. That is traumatic. Eating becomes a mindless activity invested with conflict and anxiety, and not something to be enjoyed. To overcome those feelings, you have to ignore how you feel about eating, just eat," said Lohse.
Research by Lohse and her Penn State colleagues suggests that people with high eating competence do better nutritionally, have healthier body weights, higher levels of good cholesterol and fewer of the components of sticky plaque, todays high-tech approach to predicting the tendency to cardiovascular disease.
The Penn State researcher says ecSatter represents a fundamental shift from the conventional approach to eating management. "If it was successful to have people be uncomfortable and restrictive with what they eat, just going by the rules for the nutrients and calories they need, we would not have an obesity problem," said Lohse, whose findings appear this month (September/October) in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior.
"We need a different mindset: Weight is not the big issue, but rather being comfortable with how you eat," she added.
As per Satter and Lohse, there are four steps to competent eating:
- Take time to eat, and provide yourself with rewarding meals and snacks at regular and reliable times.
- Cultivate positive attitudes about eating and about food. Emphasize providing rather than depriving; seeking food rather than avoiding it.
- Enjoy your eating, eat things you like, and let yourself be comfortable with and relaxed about what you eat. Enjoying eating supports the natural inclination to seek variety, the keystone of healthful food selection.
- Pay attention to sensations of hunger and fullness to determine how much to eat. Go to the table hungry, eat until you feel satisfied, and then stop, knowing another meal or snack is coming soon when you can do it again.
