Raise awareness among youth about the importance of healthy eating guidelines.
That has been the target of a series of talks that have taken place in recent days in the IES "Romano García" Lorqui, aimed at school children grades 2, 3 and 4 of the ESO and taught by a specialist degree in human nutrition and dietetics.
With the title "Food and its consequences in adolescence, there have been two talks per class, in which the instructor has found the habits and dietary patterns of each class and advised students about the improvements that had to do .
Thus, we have addressed issues such as junk food (known as "fast food") and its adverse health consequences due to the high concentration in saturated fat and simple carbohydrates that provide.
In that vein, the students have learned the benefits of eating fish and vegetables, since they have such proteins, but saturated fat, "and how it helps the omega-3 to move downwards.
Obesity and eating disorders
Have also been addressed other issues such as obesity in adolescence and its consequences.
Thus, young ilorcitanos were able to calculate your body mass index (BMI) to see who had weight problems, and have received information to try to combat it.
Finally, the talks also revolved around eating disorders and their dangers.
Thus, the school of "Romano Garcia" have been able to learn more about conditions such as anorexia and bulimia.
"Having healthy eating habits is a basic behavior to keep our bodies healthy and our minds, and we must instill their need from small," says Councillor for Health and Consumer Lorqui, Juana María Marín.
