Read, play and have fun! Food and childhood Food and childhood |
 Since several years also in Italy has spread the idea of how important is to follow a proper diet already from childhood.The media and teachers, spurred by the Ministry of Health, have helped to awaken parents and children to this issue. Nevertheless the percentage of obese children in our country stands at around 30%. Canons aesthetic aside, obesity is dangerous primarily to health, being the cause of a series of failures, and also creates psychological problems to the child in a ticklish age as that of growth. A sedentary lifestyle and the abuse of packaged snacks are wrong habits still widespread, to which every parent should remedy. But it is also very important to remove any doubt about how many food the child should eat. A balanced diet follows qualitative and quantitative criteria. Then, starting from the cardinal principle that we must eat as much as possible varied, here are a number of good rules to avoid in the future the forced strict regimes to lose weight in excess. For the child who takes regularly exercise the recruitment of about 2200 calories a day is recommended, while the sedentary child must not exceed the 1500-1800 calories. It is also essential to check that a 60-65% of these come from carbohydrates, 10-15% from protein and 25% from fat. Let’s avoid saturated animal fats, such as butter, soft drinks and too many sweets. The fruit is ideal for snacks, alternating with tarts of jam or with ham sandwiches. Let’s remember that vegetables are necessary everyday. The Italy Family Hotels of our circuit with the project "Mangio, gioco… e mi diverto” contribute to the spread of the idea of a proper nutrition for children even in extradomestic situations. Our menus, differentiated by age and respectful of the recommended daily allowance dose (Rda), feed healthy and, through play, help the child to become aware of what and how to eat.
