THE "CULTURE OF A CORRECTED FEEDING" TO BE LEARNT TO CHILDREN
The children eat too much and badly.
Fifteen boys on 100, in a critical age like that one between the 6 and 14 years, are obese. Unfortunately,
not draft of simple overweight: in some cases, we find ourselves of forehead to frankly obese children.
Not only, 30% of the obese children already suffer from diseases that a time hit only the adults like the
hypertension and the high cholesterol.
The children and the adolescents, therefore, do not go leave you free to eat as and how much wants because
they can incur in harmful errors for their health also in future. For this reason, it is fundamental,
in the case of the infantile obesity, the role carried out by parents in the education and the alimentary habits,
and it is opportune that the young become conscious about health in order to distinguish corrected behaviours in
feeding topic. Sure it is difficult to make them to love fruit and vegetables, to convince them to dose cakies even
if they are tempted to appreciate the variety of foods but they have to be accustomed not to exceed in the amounts.
The aim of the campaigns of information of the Ministry of Health in the schools is just this:
without obsessing or punishing, it must help them to understand what is better to eat and to address them towards
a healthy and balanced relationship with the food.
It is not an easy distance what the Ministry, with to other institutions, is about to complete in how much, the
institutional communication of promotion of corrected alimentary behaviors meets with the crushing crowding of
advertising messages addresses to you to the young people and to their families promoted from the communication trades.
In particular, snacks that young have outside their house are irregular because they are strongly influenced by
advertising messages and influenced them as a group behaviour.
Surveyings made by ISTAT on the " Alimentary Habits: bents in the population and the young people show the tendencies
of the alimentary behavior of the Italians, young people in particular, from 1993 to 2000.

The young, delineate from surveying, are those who show less "healthy"
the evolutionary tendencies regarding the rest of the examined population, in a generalized manner,
there is an evidence the lessening of the consumers and the reduction of the frequencies of consumption for sure
products (avicultural meats, vegetables and yields).
Among the young people, the 14-17 adolescents years show negative tendencies $R-with regard to the consumption
of cereals, fruit and vegetables, while the tendency to drink alcoholic is increasing. Highest meal is the
preference for the products outside and the soft drinks. To diffuse the culture of the correct feeding is not, however,
the only provision useful in order to prevent the infantile obesity. Parallel, it is necessary to approach to the boys
the physical activity in how much the regularly practiced sport it allows to strengthen the muscular mass and not only
exercises a positive effect on humor and the levels of autostima, but it helps also to contrast the obesity and,
more in a generalized manner, it carries out a protecting role for the health. In fact,
the children and the adolescents who do not practice some physical activity have a greater probability
to develop a ponderal excess them.
