Researchers
found that changing the environment surrounding children by reducing
media promotion for meals and unhealthy foods and smaller portions of
meals and foods and reduce sugary drinks may help reduce the likelihood
of obesity among children and through stimulating behavioral changes at
the level of the child and family.
With
the increasing rates of childhood obesity went scientists to study the
problem from two perspectives, first the nature of behavior practiced by
the child in terms of food and movement and eventually leads to the
acquisition of weight, and the second about the surrounding environment,
which may play a role in the development of children wrong practices
exacerbated the problem.
The
researchers at the University of Aberdeen in the UK review of
statistical data and data from 35 studies on the subject of childhood
obesity until the age of eight years, and the question is whether the
environment play a role in children with obesity?And
practiced corporate fast food and restaurants policy of ads dense
oriented, it makes use of Children love Figures or specific gaming and
incorporate them in , also promotes restaurants Ogbadtha by
increasing the size of the quota and provide free drinks usually
containing a high content of sugar and synthetic dyes.
The play sugars in juices and desserts a key role in tooth decay in children, also stimulates the high fat content in meals served to increase weight by downloading child a large amount of calories, and that's what ultimately leads to obesity.
And
failed over the past years many attempts to reduce the rates of
childhood obesity, and this is what the researchers to think in a
different way, Rather than try to change the behavior of the child why
do not you change the environment that promote and provide patterns and
unhealthy habits?The
results of the study published in the British Medical Journal the
importance of changing three data in the surrounding environment to
stimulate healthy behavior of the child, first reduce the exposure of
children to advertisements and promotional campaigns, and the second to
reduce the size of food rations in the home, restaurants, and the third
to reduce consumption by children of juices containing sugar.Represent
the results of the study of new data needs decision-maker who must
develop legislation restricting advertising video and audio for
children, and the development of regulations specify the size of meals
in restaurants so as not dealing with children large amounts, and
requiring restaurants to provide drinks healthy alternative for juices
sugary such as milk and yogurt, and the result will reduce childhood obesity rates at near and improve their health in the long run.Source: Bbmad
