Today Max is going to visit the doctor. There, he is measured and weighted. He is also asked about the activities he does along the day, the kind of food he eats.. what his favorite food are…

The doctor tells him he is keeping too much energy in his body.

-“Our bodies keep energy in case we need it later but if we don´t use it, energy will become “fat”. This fat makes us be tired. It´s as if we will be carrying a backpack with us every time.”

We need to eat the same we use because if we eat more than we need… our tummy growths. That is what we doctors call “overweight” or “obesity” If we do not care about it when being a child it could be dangerous when being an adult.

 

Doctors can´t change the energy every person wastes but we know:

  • The more exercise we do the best

  • The kind of food we should and shouldn´t eat

  • The food pyramid.

 

The doctor tells Max´s parents some things they should do and tell them to be back in a month
