Today, more and more kids are overweight (超重). In China, one in ten kids has this problem.肥胖严重影响着儿童的健康。How can we keep fit?

Are you too heavy?

按照下面这个公式来检测一下吧。

体重÷(身高×身高)=结果

Let's take Nina as an example. Her height(身高) is 1.4 metres. Her weight(体重) is 50 kilograms. So: 50÷(1.4×1.4)=50÷1.96=25.5

结果是多少

小于20 too thin

20-25 good

大于25 too heavy

Nina的检测结果高于25, 属于"超重"。She has to lose weight(减肥)!

What about you?

Ask your best friend to do the test. If he/she is too heavy, give him/her some advice.

Why do we get fat?

Nina 我就爱吃零食

Mum gives me 20 yuan a week. 我把所有零花钱都用来买零食啦。I like eating. Chips are my favourite. When I'm hungry, I eat them. When I'm not hungry but have nothing else to do, I eat them too. Mum asks me to stop eating like that, but I don't listen. Now, I can't run fast. Maybe mum is right.

Sam 动都不想动

I don't like swimming. I don't like playing football. What I like is to lie on the couch and watch TV. Cartoons are my favourite. I'm getting heavier. 越胖,我就越不想动。Now I'm a couch potato. I don't know how to keep fit.

一对双胞胎,吃同样的饭菜,做同样的运动。One is too heavy. The other isn't. Why? 原来,肥胖除了和生活习惯、遗传有关外,还和新陈代谢能力有关。
