Medication for treatment of obesity
Medication treatment of obesity
should be used only in patients who have health risks related to obesity.
Medications should not be used for cosmetic reasons.
Like
diet and exercise, the goal of medication treatment has to be realistic. With
successful medication treatment, one can expect an initial weight loss of at
least 5 pounds during the first month of treatment, and a total weight loss of
10%-15% of the initial body weight. The first class (category) of medication
used for weight control cause symptoms that mimic the sympathetic nervous
system. As a result, the major side effect of this class of medication is high
blood pressure.
Phentermine
The
common side effects of phentermine include headache,
insomnia, irritability, and nervousness.
Fenfluramine (the fen of fen/phen) and dexfenfluramine (Redux) suppress
appetite mainly by increasing release of serotonin by the cells. Phentermine
alone is still available for treatment of obesity but only on a short-term
basis (a few weeks).

drug which increases the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain,

Baby need Activities to Build Health
Children aged less than 6 years old are advised to do a physical activity with a total of at least 3 hours every day to prevent obesity. Recommendations were presented by experts from the three countries.

Institute of Medicine, USA, in 2011 also recommended the importance of physical activity is mild, moderate, and hard, for 15 minutes in a period of an hour or equal to 3 hours each day. Recommendations are aimed at children who are awake 12 hours a day. Not much different, health agencies in Britain also gave similar recommendations.
"All three of these guides have a similar recommendation that preschool children should be active for a total time of 3 hours per day," wrote Russell Pate and Jennifer O'Neil, both from the University of South Carolina, Columbia, USA.
Rates of obesity in children aged 2-5 years increased dramatically since the 1970's. In the U.S. alone, 26.7 percent of children are classified as obese age.
Indeed, no study can prove exactly how much physical activity is needed to prevent child obesity. However, 3 hours per day is considered sufficient for fitness and health.
In 2008, the U.S. government officially recommends physical activity for a total time of 60 minutes a day for children aged 6-17 years and 30 minutes per day for adults.
The impact of obesity on children's health has long been known, ranging from an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in adulthood, hormone disruption, decreased ability to learn.
