Nutrition and Weight Management
Maintaining a balanced weight and optimal nutrition is essential for individuals across all age groups. Aloha Kids Clinic offers specialized services in nutrition and weight management to children and families residing in South Bangalore, aiding them in upholding healthy weight-to-height ratios.
Assessing Child’s Weight Relative to Height
As children exhibit varying growth rates at different stages, physicians often resort to percentile charts to ascertain if a child falls within the standard range. They may also employ Body Mass Index (BMI) as an indicator of the weight-to-height ratio. Parents anxious about their child’s growth pattern or eating habits can arrange a consultation at Aloha Kids Clinic. During these sessions, a comprehensive family history and physical examination precede the formulation of a family-oriented intervention with personalized objectives. Emphasis is laid on encouraging healthy lifestyle habits within the family and preventive measures against obesity, thus averting chronic diseases. Programs incorporate an evaluation of the family’s eating and physical activity habits, and the child’s growth parameters such as weight, height, and BMI. Goals are reassessed and adjusted as required during follow-up visits, and lab work may be recommended when deemed necessary. Moreover, all healthcare professionals at the clinic counsel families on healthy dietary habits and physical activity during their annual wellness visits.
Risks of Deviating from Healthy Weight
Preserving an appropriate weight-to-height relationship is crucial for both physical and emotional well-being. Being overweight can lead to a range of health complications in children and adults, including heart diseases, diabetes, sleep and gastrointestinal disorders, orthopedic issues, and psychosocial problems. Underweight children may face issues related to immune diseases, infection management, and growth. An unhealthy weight may also restrict a child’s active participation in sports and induce psychosocial challenges.
Nutrition Counseling
Nutrition counseling equips families with the understanding of their child’s nutritional requirements to foster optimal growth. The team at Aloha Kids Clinic, including can devise a customized family plan for eating and physical activity, geared towards promoting growth and minimizing unhealthy eating habits around meals and snacks. This counseling is beneficial for overweight, underweight, or finicky eaters. It also assists young athletes in ensuring their intake of sufficient calories from suitable food sources. The doctors, dietitians, and nurses at Aloha Kids Clinic are committed to helping families comprehend their dietary needs, guiding them towards healthier food choices.
