Feeding your children. Healthy nutrition from infancy to adolescence
Obesity and overweight are epidemic and characters. It is a disease with serious consequences in adulthood that begins in childhood: 26% of children and youth of our country are overweight and almost 14% are obese. But even more disturbing is the trend exhibited by this sickness.

There are many reasons that led to this situation. First, our country has undergone great changes in recent decades that have impacted greatly on the type of food. Traditional diets have been replaced with diets with higher energy density, which means more fat and more sugar added to food, coupled with a decrease in consumption of fruits, vegetables, grains and legumes. In addition, these dietary changes combined with lifestyles that reflect a reduction in physical activity at school and during leisure time.

In this situation, the Ministry of Health and Consumer Affairs has launched the Strategy for Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity Prevention, the NAOS Strategy, which aims to reverse the rising trend in the prevalence of obesity, especially children, and fight their impact on health. The manual feeding your children is an important aspect of the NAOS strategy, given the importance of healthy nutrition during childhood is. It is at this stage of life when they begin to establish food habits, starting in adolescence, they become very resistant to change, consolidating for life.

With this manual for parents, grandparents, educators and, in general, responsible for feeding and health of children and adolescents, will provide recommendations on food and nutrition to help them develop a varied diet, balanced and to your liking, making the meal not only a necessity but a pleasure.

If we can get our child used to eat everything and its true value, and encourage their regular practice of physical activity and sport, we will have achieved instill good habits that protect them from obesity and, in general, a series of diseases that manifest in adulthood.

In short, we brought them health for many years.
