Phrases such as "Until you eat everything, you will not get up from the table" are familiar to us from the pain of our childhood. A new study has found that the reason for this is the fault of food waste. According to him, however, such tactics are fueling the obesity epidemic among children.
According to the research conducted in this area, it is clear that this is an extremely wrong approach. By no means does he teach children good eating habits. As they get bigger, the portions also increase, and they are pressed to consume more food than they need for proper growth.
Compared to this regimen during the most important years of growth, when they grow up, these children have no dietary limits and do not know when to stop. Nutritionists, who are tackling this problem for the first time, were surprised by the behavior of most mothers, who make their children leave their dishes "washed" after meals.
For this purpose, 2,200 teenagers and 3,500 parents in the United States were studied. Interestingly, fathers are more likely to limit their children's portions than mothers.
The trend all over the world, including in our country, is that childhood obesity is increasing. About 20% of children in Bulgaria are overweight. 10 years ago the percentage of obese children in our country was much lower - 12-13%.
Obesity is one of the reasons why more and more children are suffering from type 2 diabetes. Until recently, the disease was characteristic of older people over 40 years. Today, however, it is also diagnosed in 6-7-year-old children.
Obesity is a serious disease that must be treated quickly and adequately. The problem can be overcome through proper exercise and diet.
American doctors recently suggested another way to overcome the problem. The option is for the state to take severely obese children from their parents and leave them in clinics where they can be taught how to eat healthily. However, caring mothers and grandmothers will not like this.
