- Childhood Obesity
By: Cindy Paiva | - Obesity, or over-nutrition, is the generalized accumulation of fat both beneath the skin and throughout the body. Some children are big, or stocky, because they have large skeletal frames. They are not obese.

For a girl who is 1.09 meters tall (43 inches), the average weight is 18kg (40lbs). Anywhere between 15-22kg (33-46lbs) would be considered healthy. Your daughter's 33 ...

- Bad Breath
By: Cindy Paiva | - Most kids would go out of their way to avoid eating garlic or onions, yet it is not unusual for a child to wake up with very smelly breath.

The longer a child sleeps, the higher the bacterial count in the mouth rises, resulting in "morning breath."
In children, smelly breath that persists throughou ...
