Do you know that Childhood obesity has more than doubled in children and tripled in adolescents in the past 30 years? and In 2010, more than one third of children and adolescents were overweight or obese, according to the CDC (Centers for disease control and prevention).This proves change of our diet,and how our new life style effect it.
Regarding the required speed this day people dont have time to cook their meals three times a day_ including mothers, which make them choose fastfood or canned food _that containa lot of fats and preservative – as an alternative, that leads to increase in the weight accompanied by many diseases such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure .
Economics play a big role in changing dietary habits,Traders these days care about money more than anything els because of that they try to catch children and teens attention using ads,McDonald’s and Burger King in their ads show just the healthy food for children and teens, in fact they serve french fries and soft drink with kid's meal at least 55% of the time.
Technology, I pad ,I pod, I phone , laptop ,....etc, all these gadgets influence our diet in some way, people stay all day in fornt their screens eat a lot of snacks such as popcorn, cookies, chips and Chocolate, and that make them eat two reglar meals per day instead of three.
What we must know our new dietary habits shorten our life expectancy and make us vulnerable to diseases, we should be careful about what and how we eat our food to save our live and enjoy it ,Especially for children .
