Cardiovascular diseases are the most common cause of death in the world, so of course we all want to prevent such problems in our children. Unlike some diseases caused by independent factors, cardiovascular diseases are very closely related to the child's lifestyle, so the probability of their manifestation can be significantly reduced by one's own efforts.
Here are some tips from the doctors of the Mother's House, which will help to avoid cardiovascular diseases in your child:
Healthy nutrition: Direct the child's diet to fresh foods — fruits, vegetables, healthy fats and proteins. Limit harmful sweets and other similar products.
Active lifestyle: Encourage children to move — physical activity promotes heart health. Outdoor competition, sports or just fun games are the key to a strong heart.
Maintaining a healthy weight: Being overweight can increase your risk of heart disease. If the child's weight does not correspond to the normalized values, you should consult a pediatrician to find out the reason for this. If necessary, the doctor will tell you what to do in your particular case.
Regular visits to the doctor: Periodic medical examinations are an important component for identifying possible health problems.
An example of a healthy life: Children imitate the adults around them. Your own example will be the most effective way to convey to your child the need to lead a healthy lifestyle.
May your family be filled with joy and health! And the pediatricians of Mamin Dim polyclinic are always here to provide your family with the best medical support.
