Video: Obezitatea, epidemia tacuta si regula 5-2-1-0

As British chef and food advocate Jamie Oliver explains in the video above, our food culture has changed so drastically over the last 30 years, a majority of young children of today do not know what fresh, whole food is. They can’t identify foods, let alone figure out where they come from or how they grow.

He shows how the three aspects of the “food landscape,” home, school, and main street, have all abandoned real food in favor of quick, cheap, processed foods.

Three decades ago, the food available in each of these three areas was mostly fresh and grown locally. Now the majority of foods served, whether at home, in school or in restaurants, are highly processed foods, filled with sugars and chemical additives.

Regula 5-2-1-0 pentru o viata sanatoara sa copiilor

5: Mancati cinci legume si fructe pe zi (majortatea ar trebui sa fie legum). Limitati si cantitatea de fructoza la 15 grame pe zi.

2: Limitati vizionarea televizorului la mai putin de 2 ore. (Academia America a Pediatrilor recomanda parintilor sa nu lase deloc copii sub 2 ani sa se uite la televizor. Alta abordare a unui pediatru american ar fii formula: pentru fiecare minut de “uitat la televizor” sau jocuri la calculator se va face un minut de exercitii fizice.

1: Faceti o ora de exercitii fizice pe zi.

0: Beti bauturi fara zahar sau indulcitori artificiali.

Sugestii suplimentare ar fi: Fiti perseverent in a oferi copiilor vostri noi mancaruri, nu li dojeniti pe copil despre greutatea lui, implicati-l in prepararea mancarii si fiti un exemplu din punct de vedere al dietei.
