Root causes of bad eating habits



Melyek a rossz táplálkozási szokások kialakulásának okai?
Half the problem originates from the child's inability to recognise their body's signals, preventing bad nutritional habits from being corrected. Additionally, the child's eating habits are often shaped by outside influences and not by his or her individual needs. These outside influences include commercials, fast food restaurants, and the high price of healthy food. Now, allow me to elaborate on the aforementioned factors.
Cause 1: Commercials
How much can we believe from TV commercials? Children spend on average 3 to 4 hours in front of the TV during the weekdays and this number can increase up to 6 to 7 hours on weekends. The media knows precisely when the majority of children sit in front of the TV screen so it tries to create commercials specifically tailored to them. The child watches and believes the carefully designed propaganda. Research has shown that 90% of commercially advertised food is bad for a healthy development. The parent should be careful not to believe all the misleading statements in such commercials. "Fat free, sugar free, rich in vitamins."...
Cause 2: The age of fast food
What about frozen and pre-made food items? People often like watching films about the culinary arts and reading recipe books, but only a few of us are active in the kitchen. The majority of families go to the supermarket once a week and purchase frozen, ready to eat foods. Such foods only need to be popped in the microwave and in just a few minutes the warm food is ready on the table. Today we find a high degree of contamination in our food: nutrient solutions, artificial fertilisers that absorb into produce, growth hormones, steroids, antibiotics, and tranquillisers used on livestock. Kitchen ready, frozen foods contain many harmful...
Cause 3: Fast food restaurants are fashionable
How to oversee what our children are eating while outside the house. Eating in a fast food restaurant is adult-like in the eyes of children. Their friends are there and one can kick back and just relax after school. Nevertheless, the majority of fast foods are unhealthy because they contain a great deal of fat, sugar and additives. Eating fast food a few times a month is not especially dangerous, but if your kid eats there every day, his or her proper development and health will be in danger. The problem can even get worse when the child gets so used to fast food that he or she eats it as an adult. Naturally, you cannot forbid...
Cause 4: Overestimating the price of healthy food
Is eating healthy more expensive? The answer is easy; eating healthy is not more expensive. Living healthfully is actually cheaper than being sick. A healthy person will have money left over because the money will not be spent on medicine and treatments. The healthy person will also have more free time because no time has to be spent lying sick in bed at home. Let us see what goes in to the shopping basket when we shop. 20% of the goods include chocolates, candies, chips, and soft drinks. Another 30% are frozen and prepackaged foods. That totals up to 50%. Imagine what would happen if we spent this 50% on foods that are naturally...
