Why do children not be forced to eat?

How much food does your baby need? . And if this adds to the most unhealthy eating habits of the parents, we have the explanations why we are the number two in the European Union in childhood obesity. One of the international pediatricians, dr. Carlos Gonzalez, removes many myths. And maybe it's not yours. The only person who knows is your little one, no matter what age he has.

Carlos Gonzalez. The specialist added that in a world where millions of harmful products are found on shelves other than grandparents, the temptation is to choose what's at hand. Only this choice will deeply affect our health. Sugar is present in almost any food Keep in mind that sugar is present in almost any food. You must report seriously when choosing what you eat, both you and your children.

Carlos Gonzales. At the same time, the physician stressed that in the case of babies it is crucial to breastfeed and link the mother with the baby. Babies eat less calories, as breastmilk is so good that it is used entirely, absorbs better, and overall is more nutritious than any other food. Why Breastfeeding is Needed Breastfeeding is important for mother and baby, even for the whole society. For the baby, mother milk is the ideal food because it protects against the risk of diseases such as anemia, obesity, allergies, bronchial asthma, diabetes and even cancer.

The baby is more likely to accept solid foods because the mother's milk takes on the taste of the food it consumes. In the case of mother, breastfeeding lowers the risk of breast and ovarian cancer, osteoporosis, prevents postpartum depression, helping her to regulate her hormone. During breastfeeding an indestructible relationship is created, a deep attachment between the mother and the baby, because breastfeeding is more than food, it is safety, protection, communication, love. Thus, we will have healthy babies and parents will not spend 4500 euros per year on milk powder, Moreover, the myth according to which the little one will take more weight if he eats solids or grains during the diversification period is dismantled. Obesity is simply one of the most common nutritional diseases and its rapidity, including in Romania, is slowly becoming a pandemic, especially among young people.

Today's children, tomorrow's obese adults According to the World Health Organization, in Romania we have 4. 5 million obese and we are ranked third in the European Union after England and Poland. Worryingly, we also find the same percentage among children, a quarter of the studied sample is struggling with overweight. For example, the overweight ratio (including obesity) in children aged eight in Romania is 26. 75%, while the obesity rate is 11.

6%, according to a recent study by the Ministry of Health on a representative sample of 207 schools. And this is just one of the examples that shows that in Romania we have more and more children with weight problems. What are the main reasons why half of Romania's children are affected by obesity? . Paradoxically, we worry about babies who do not eat enough, but at the same time, the number of overweight children is growing rapidly. The problem is that in many countries in Europe as well as in Romania child feeding is strictly recommended by the doctor and mothers are advised to give children exact quantities of certain foods at certain time intervals,.

Things get complicated when food diversification begins, from 6 months to 3 years. .
