Additional Information

Health & Fitness of Your Child Is Our

Concern

More and more of our young people

are obese.

OBESE children have

HIGHER risks of developing SERIOUS HEALTH ISSUES

What is BMI?

BMI stands for Body Mass Index,

a measure of the amount of body fat

Age, gender, height and weight

considered when calculating BMI

How to Measure BMI?

Weight of a child (kg) divided by the

square of a child’s height (m)

Age – 10 Years

Gender - Male

Weight – 40 kg

Height – 1.5 m

40 ______________

1.5 x 1.5

= 17.8 60th Percentile

What does the value

mean?

Below the 15th

Percentile

– Under Weight

Between the 15th

and 85th

Percentile – Accepatable

Weight

Above the 85th

Percentile

– Overweight/ Obese

60th Percentile

Physical activity

stimulates the

brain body

&

for better learning to take place

Ensure that your child stays fit and healthy by

for at least

20 minutes

regularly

everyday

How can you help

your child to fight obesity?

Health Tip #1

Stop drinking sweetened drinks

Get your child to drink

plain water. Make it

a habit!

Health Tip #2

Avoid having meals at fast food restaurants

Home cook food is the best!

Eat more vegetables and fruits.

Reduce salt and fats intake.

Health Tip #3

Do not eat snacks after dinner time.

If your child is feeling hungry,

give him/her a glass of plain

water or a serving of fruit.

Misconception

My kid is growing, so they need more carbohydrates in their diet to ensure that they will grow tall and strong.

Excess carbohydrates in the body

will get converted to fats if it is not

‘burn’ through exercising. This will lead to weight

increase and eventually, obesity.

EXERCISE REGULARLY

• Go for a jog as a family • Do indoor exercises (skipping, stairs climbing, sit-ups, side- steps) • Play sports (basketball, soccer, badminton)

WATCH WHAT YOU EAT • Eat more vegetables and fruits

• Maintain a healthy diet

• Avoid oily and junk food

• Eat what is required and not what your child desires

Recommended Daily

Routine

Healthy Kids BETTER Learners

We need YOUR cooperation & support

so that the school can help your child adopt the habit of healthy living.
