Italian children are too fat. It 'no use trying to disguise the fat of the little saying: "They must grow." The Ministry of Health, through the project "Eye on Health" conducted by the Institute of Health, has monitored the state of childhood obesity in Italy, and the results are quite alarming. The study analyzed a sample of 46 000 children in 2,600 elementary schools in our country, collecting data that speak for themselves: 23.6% of children are overweight and 12.3% are obese.
That may be true that children grow fat without the tonsils, and tonsillectomy is very common in school age, but unfortunately it is also the lack of physical activity contribute to weight gain of children. Too many stops in front of the TV and snack a little too much heat have made sure that the little Italian accumulate fat around the waist and belly.
But when we stopped to take healthy things on the table? When the habit of accompanying the children to do physical activity has turned into a break with the game? The data are numbers that show the real situation of the country: it was found, in fact, that children skip breakfast, eat snacks with fat and calories, do not eat fruits and vegetables, they see little movement and too much television - one half of the small In fact, it has a television in the room - and for that childhood obesity is rampant.
"There are differences between the region - said the health minister Fazio - the Campania for example, has 27.8% of children are overweight and 21% obese, while in the range 6-11 years in Friuli Venezia Giulia and Valle Aosta data are lower. " At this point, it is recommended that all schools adopt the Italian Lombard project to distribute fresh fruit for a snack against childhood obesity.
Already in the classroom might begin to change the eating habits of young Italians. The problem of childhood obesity affects nationally on public health, then the ministry has proposed to involve action at 360 ° regions, food manufacturers, the Ministry of Education, to compact against this emergency.
Moreover, the willingness of institutions to gain a foothold in the active collaboration of parents at home. Examples are the junk food reduces the IQ of children to avoid buying anything that even remotely comes close to the category. The ads on television are inviting and promise not to enter too many calories in the daily requirement, but it is good to be wary.
In general, even for different snacks, is always better to prefer a piece of fresh fruit and, if we learn to present it in a nice, see the kids go crazy for something healthy and natural.
