Poor and unhealthy nutrition have the power to affect emotional state, self-esteem, and school performance of the child along with bodyweight and health conditions that may arise. Good nutrition will fuel you child with energy to cause them feel good enough to get started on engaged in physical exercises and activities, an essential component of weight and fat reduction and a healthier lifestyle.
Unfortunately, according to the Department of Health and Human Services , there are a quite large number of high school students (almost 80%) that usually don’t include the correct and so necessary amounts of fruits and vegetables in their daily diet regiment. Besides that, children are avoiding eating healthy foods, but they are furthermore eating unhealthy processed foods, which tend to consist of limited nutritionist elements and lots of calories.
The phenomenon that is found in recent years with the explosive growth of so many stores that sell fast-food loaded with unhealthy nutritious elements definitely plays a huge role in the development of childhood obesity. After all, it is a profitable business for the factories that own this kind of fast-food shops since huge amounts of dollars (billions) are spent on a yearly basis on fast-food advertising and marketing aimed directly at kids. Food professionals often announce that the internal system and structure within the body of a human are certainly not designed for concentration of high in energy foods such as fast foods. But because we can find them whenever we please, anytime and anywhere, has become one of the popular and ordinary meals of every child.
Another issue is that children are in most cases not eating breakfast and therefore they consume more food at lunch and dinner because they are hungry. Several studies have indicated that the habit of eating small in size and regular healthy meals which can be up to 5 a day as opposed to two or three larger, has been connected with the result of being leaner, healthy and with a better levels of cholesterol inside our body.
This type of food intake is highly recommend and by following this simple action, obese children spread out their calorie consumption over a number of smaller meals instead of two or three large ones. By doing that, it can help them reduce the sharp spikes in blood sugar from eating lot of food that could easily lead to insulin disorder and diabetes.
