The health and preservation of children is an authentic responsibility that falls on the shoulders of the father and mother in the first place. They are the ones who determine the level and fate of the child, and they are the ones who can protect him, strengthen him and preserve him from diseases, by controlling and choosing the foods he eats, and they are the ones who can destroy his digestive and nervous systems, if they neglect to determine What benefits and what is harmful in terms of food and drinks, children do not perceive and do not absorb a lot of things, but their parents understand, reason, read and understand.
Therefore, it is very necessary to take the necessary measures to reduce the sources of sugar in children’s food, so that this does not negatively affect their health, and poses a danger to them, because it may cause several serious diseases, and this is what bears parents a great responsibility, but it is definitely necessary, and not impossible, as These steps do not require a lot of time and effort. It is not necessary to deprive the child of all the foods he loves, but organization remains necessary to protect him.
It is necessary to spread the culture of reducing children’s consumption of sugars and sweets, especially since sugar not only negatively affects weight and causes obesity, but also causes several damages to the health and psychological levels of the child, hence the importance of controlling the quantities that the child eats of sugar, without depriving him of Healthy and nutritious sources are available in abundance. In addition to the negative consequences of eating sugar on the health of the teeth and heart, and its role in gradually gaining weight, several studies have shown that the high levels of sugar that a child gets negatively affects his brain from the cognitive and psychological aspects.
What is currently happening in the absence of public awareness among many of the importance of controlling their children’s behavior towards sugars and soft drinks, is a big mistake, and has significant future repercussions and damages on the health of their children, especially since the daily quantities that children ingest of these harmful substances are endless, while the American Association For heart health, it is recommended that the child eat 12 grams, or three tablespoons of sugar, a day, as a maximum, which is equivalent to 10% of the daily need of calories. On the other hand, the World Health Organization advises that the percentage of sugar, which is obtained daily, should not exceed 5% of the total daily amount of calories.. How much is the rate of parents here who are keen not to exceed these percentages?!
In one of the big outlets, there was a foreign woman who was paying the value of her purchases with her children. An error occurred during the payment process. An additional five dirhams were calculated, so the accounting offered the lady to take sweets or chocolates for her children in exchange for the amount. She refused. She replied decisively that her children do not eat any of these sweets and sweets, this is not strange, but the strangest thing is that none of her children objected to this, and none of them asked or begged his mother to get sweets!
Did you imagine with me if this situation happened in front of our children, what would happen?
What is the mother's or father's reaction?
This is exactly what I mean by the necessity of spreading culture.
