Because according to a study by researchers from several American universities, millions of poor children in the United States may be overweight before 10 years because their mothers are stressed and the children seek an escape in insane food But easier and more comfortable.
The scientists analyzed 841 children from families living below the poverty line and who were part of a government nutrition study that took place between 1999 and 2002.
Although the study is focused on the lower classes, however the researchers point out that in families with more economic resources, in which more food is available, the same or worse effect may occur.
This is due to the fact that they will have at their disposal more food to go to as a refuge from stress.
As we see, the resort to fast food It is often the result of lack of time and stress that exists in all types of families today, so it is not bad to remember that it is not beneficial for the health of the little ones and that it is advisable to promote healthy nutritional habits as soon as possible .
