 The mark Italy Family Hotels is very sensitive to the health and children wellness.
Every Hotel of Italy Family Hotels guarantees a special menu "I eat, play, and have fun" created by a Childhood Food study, which combines nutrition education to the game and fairy tales.
The obesity is the disease of XXI the century. It concerns in majority the adults, but the last data evidence a constant increase of cases in childhood and the adolescence.
In many European Countries, a child on five suffers from obesity and overweight.
To be overweight increases their risk of developing diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, heart disease, asthma, stroke, and cancer. In addition, classmates teasing and the inability to participate in certain childhood activities can sometimes affect a childҒs self-esteem.
A new American study says that the children who suffer from obesity have thicker arteries than those of their own age . The arteries of obese and dyslipidemic children resemble those of middle-aged adults, possibly heralding the early onset of cardiovascular disease, according to a study presented by the scientists of the pediatric hospital Mercy of Kansas City. The study has been done on 70 children, between the 6 and 19 years, who show a sensitive increase of the risk of cardiovascular diseases.
Scientists using ultrasound imaging detected fatty deposits more typical in middle-aged adults than in children as young as 10, underscoring worries about accelerated risks of heart disease decades earlier than once thought possible.
Results: ThereӒs a saying that youre as old as your arteries,Ҕ said the studys lead author, Dr. Geetha Raghuveer, associate professor of pediatrics at the University of Missouri Kansas City School of Medicine. ғThese kids are showing up with arteries that show middle-aged conditions.
Here because Italy Family Hotels has chosen to support and to apply the Charta of the alimentary rights for the children growth: to guarantee daily balanced meal, to use fresh and healthy food, to educate to a healthy feeding through the game and the tales.
