Keeping Your Child Healthy

You do everything in your power to help keep your children healthy. You have to think about the food they eat and of finding ways to make sure they stay active. It may seem overwhelming at times, but you're not on your own. Your Mission, and Edinburg, TX, pediatrician can be your best ally when it comes to your children's health. To learn about all the ways they can help, reach out to Dr. Syed Husain of Valley Pediatric Clinic.

Nutrition

What your children eat is essential to their development as well as to fuel their everyday life. Varied diets consisting of lean meats, poultry, and fish, among other sources of protein, rounded out with whole grains, fruits, and vegetables are essential. Become versed on the nutrition labels and see beyond the calories to find out just what's in your children's food.

Avoid sugary treats and drinks as much as possible as they have been shown to contribute to childhood obesity, diabetes, and tooth decay. As an exercise, take a look at the label on a regular soft drink and count just how many tablespoons of sugar is in a single can.

Excercise

Getting your children to become more active can seem like a difficult task. When we were their age there was just one screen battling for our attention. Nowadays we carry them with us, and excessive screen time can contribute to bad posture and loss of sleep, something that children, even teenagers, require much more of than adults.

Team sports or other forms of structured activities can help your children not just physically but can also contribute to their self-esteem. Make sure to speak with your Mission, and Edinburg, TX, kid's doctor when considering a new sport for your child.

Checkups

Just as important as your children's diet and exercise is keeping up with their scheduled checkups. Through these appointments, your pediatrician monitors their development, their vaccination records, and is your greatest resource for advice on everything related to their health. Besides checkups, their doctor is the one to call for help treating injuries and illness.

To schedule an appointment today with Dr. Husain of Valley Pediatric Clinic. Dial 956-424-7100 for the Mission, TX, clinic or 956-383-9300 for the Edinburg, TX, clinic.
