Special: Infantile obesity

The salt of the life, the reality is that the salt can take your life and we do not see the important thing that is. From the epoch of the Romans, the salt is a vital element for the humanity, salary is a word derived from the Latin salarium, that means payment with salt.


The salt was so important and so necessary, that even in long walks for deserts or difficult and warm areas, the Romans were taking a salt sachet, not to be dehydrated.

In Spain, for years in the postwar period and very much after the postwar period, it was said to the chubby child, look for him healthy what is, and the child seemed that it was going to go out rolling. Perhaps the famine that spent this country, did that the parents were inflating to potatoes to his shoots to compensate through what they had lived, “child eats that you do not know what is to spend famine”.

Today we know how harmful there is the salt and the fast and modern food that they have cleaned out of swift form to our famous Mediterranean diet. Our children receive a real bombing of pizzas, hamburgers, hot dogs, potatoes bags, chitos, little doves, bakery, and all kinds of fast-food.

The Spanish we consume every day almost 10 grams of salt of average, when it is recommended not to go on from 5. This joined to that the schools do not contribute balanced meals, and also they give only 3 hours to the week of physical exercise, does that our children keep on increasing of weight and are more vague.

It is necessary to bear in mind that it is not the saltcellar what more fond, the food that more are consumed takes of if, a big quantity of salt, unsaturated fats and sugar.

The problem of the infantile obesity is enormous, it can produce diverse alterations and problems in the child, especially it diminishes its own esteem, later alterations can appear in the skin, problems in the feet, stretch marks, constipation, arterial hypertension, to turn of obese child into obese adult at the risk of being a diabetic.

The child in fact asks for what it sees, more than 50 % of the publicity of this country, he is of slightly healthy foodstuff, it is logical that he asks for them and he likes. Fortunately there exists already a law of Food security that has the target to stop the unbalanced consumption of slightly healthy food by means of a commercial pressure, and to encourage the children to consume vegetables again if possible raw, boiled, fish, pasta, rice, everything what we ate before the invasion of the cholesterol came in bag.

It is not so difficult to control what your son eats and to accustom that can eat certain entertaining but not so healthy meals, and consume every day fresh food, and do exercise. It is possible to achieve a balance between the school and the house for the benefit of the child, he will always be grateful to us for it in the long run.
