Television is an important part of your life and the lives of your children – entertains and can learn a lot. But it appears that an excess of television advertising of certain products may prevent proper nutrition. In addition, limiting the “screen” time, you can help your children to lead a healthy lifestyle.

Studies have shown that prolonged television viewing associated with overweight and obesity in children.
And the best way to avoid these health problems – so-called limit “Screen” time.

And for children under two years of watching television does not follow, because it deprives them of communicating with you and other family members.

Most communicate with your baby! Do not use the TV as a babysitter!

Sitting in front of the TV watching, we fall in love and nekontroliruem amount of food eaten. We continue to have, even when the stomach is already full.

The result? – Weight gain.

Set the rule: do not watch TV while eating!

Eat in the dining room or kitchen. Family dinners – this is the most valuable time for all family members when you can discuss the previous day, to share the experience. And TV here – only a hindrance.

There is another important reason to restrict viewing of TV a child: a large target audience advertising of foods high in sugar and fat are just kids. Studies show that children who spend a lot of time in front of TV, much more likely to have problems with being overweight. And commercials aimed at children, are one of the reasons for that.

Recall, how to avoid problems :

• Do not let Children under 2 years old watch TV.
• Limit “screen time” (computer, TV, computer games, etc.) to 1-2 hours per day for older children.
• Tell, explain to the child that television advertising – it’s usually junk food advertising.
• Do not give in to the requests and entreaties of the child to buy him those foods or sweets that show on TV.
• Explain to your child why it is harmful to him.

Even if your child does not eat in front of the TV, you still should limit the time spent in front of him. The so-called “screen time” (TV, computer, etc.) should not exceed 1-2 hours per day for children of all ages!
