How Our Own Dietary Habits May Affect Our Children's Future....
As every year passes, times change. The world is constantly evolving. With that, so do many of our habits. We’re coming to the time of the year when one thing happens more than anything.
People making changes to their lifestyles to chase that elusive ‘summer body’. Usually encompassed within that is changing our eating habits. This blog will take a look at how our eating habits affect our children’s.
By 2050, it is estimated that one in every three britons will be classed as obese. A shocking statistic. A recent study has found that there is a link between habits relating to children eating at home, and within that, the dietary habits learned from observing parents.
A child suffering from illness who has special dietary requirements to ensure that they get the essential and correct nutrients, will 100% need to take a different pathway.
But the rest?
Parents may feed their children a diet rich in processed foods and sugary drinks, rather than a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. By taking the time to enforce healthy eating from an early age will help them to make better choices through their younger years and into adulthood. Taking the time to involve the children in the preparation of meals will educate them in healthy foods and the ways to cook them.
Adults can try to hide things that a child may not necessarily like in bulk meals. This way they are getting the right nutrients, without knowingly eating something they may not like in it’s purest form.
Sitting at the table to eat has been proven that social interaction at meal times leads to a decrease in calorie intake vs sitting in front of the television.
Our day to day activity often leads to us to make the choices that we do. But with a bit of forward thinking, we can ensure that future generations have a better understanding of the right choices.
Taking the time to educate our children means that they will not become a part of this statistic.
