Holiday Weight Management

过guò完wán春节Chūn jié我们wǒ men都dōu会huì胖pàng几jǐ斤jīn,所以suǒ yǐ在zài春节Chūn jié假期jià qī之前zhī qián,杭州Háng zhōu一yī所suǒ中学zhōng xué的de学生xué shēng都dōu称chēng了le体重tǐ zhòng。

如果rú guǒ他们tā men在zài春节Chūn jié期间qī jiān长zhǎng胖pàng超过chāo guò两liǎng公斤gōng jīn,下xià学期xué qī每měi天tiān都dōu得děi去qù跑步pǎo bù。

学校xué xiào的de老师lǎo shī表示biǎo shì:"在zài放假fàng jià前qián给gěi学生xué shēng们men称chēng一下yī xià体重tǐ zhòng,是shì想xiǎng给gěi他们tā men点diǎn危机wēi jī意识yì shí,防止fáng zhǐ春节Chūn jié过guò后hòu体重tǐ zhòng超标chāo biāo。

”然而rán ér在zài中国Zhōng guó的de社交shè jiāo媒体méi tǐ上shàng,人们rén men对duì老师lǎo shī的de这zhè个gè计划jì huà有yǒu着zhe不bù同tóng的de看法kàn fǎ。

一yī位wèi用户yòng hù说shuō:"我wǒ认为rèn wéi让ràng学生xué shēng意识yì shí到dào自己zì jǐ的de身体shēn tǐ健康jiàn kāng是shì件jiàn好hǎo事shì。

”也yě有人yǒu rén评论píng lùn说shuō:"中学生zhōng xué shēng还hái在zài长zhǎng身体shēn tǐ,体重tǐ zhòng波动bō dòng不bù是shì很hěn正常zhèng cháng吗ma?

”如今rú jīn,中国Zhōng guó已经yǐ jīng拥有yōng yǒu了le世界shì jiè上shàng最zuì多duō的de肥胖féi pàng儿童ér tóng。

2017年nián的de一yī项xiàng研究yán jiū告诫gào jiè说shuō,到dào2030年nián,中国Zhōng guó肥胖féi pàng儿童ér tóng的de人数rén shù可能kě néng达dá到dào5000万wàn。

专家zhuān jiā认为rèn wéi这zhè主要zhǔ yào是shì由于yóu yú年轻人nián qīng rén的de饮食yǐn shí中zhōng含有hán yǒu大量dà liàng加工jiā gōng食品shí pǐn,而且ér qiě学业xué yè压力yā lì大dà导致dǎo zhì学生xué shēng体育tǐ yù锻炼duàn liàn时间shí jiān减少jiǎn shǎo。

对duì这zhè位wèi老师lǎo shī的de做法zuò fǎ,你nǐ怎么zěn me看kàn呢ne?
