Hala Al-Khatib - Beirut

With the lack of movement and laziness that children are afflicted in the absence of the school system that imposes early awakening and movement and a commitment to study, play and eating times, children tend to indolence and laziness, sit in front of television screens and smart devices of all kinds, and the movement becomes very little, and the food circulates in the mouths over time Which may cause childhood obesity in record time.

It is not starvation .. It is boredom
. Nutritionist Dana Borgi tells Al Jazeera Net that in her work now online she faces the problem of children's food, and considers it a good time for children to take extra weight due to not being adequately mobile, eating randomly, and saying that children do not eat because of hunger In a situation like this, but out of boredom, lethargy, and boredom at home.

She adds that two things lead to weight gain, lack of daily movement and non-athletic movement that reduces going to school and entering the classroom and other movements that are no longer practiced in the absence of school, and eating larger quantities than before for entertainment and to fill time.

Here comes the role of parents to distinguish when children must eat or stop eating according to a well-studied daily plan that they abide by.

A plan and program for children
Dana proposes that the plan start with an early awakening, as the boys now sleep longer and this contributes to obesity, so that the awakening is between eight and eight and eight o'clock, and breakfast is at nine (talking here about young children who are not assigned to fast yet), and at half past eleven they eat Appetizers, then at one can do a certain activity, then lunch at about one and a half, and then devote themselves to sports at home.

What encourages them to do so, in her opinion, is family sport, as it helps to burn calories for an hour, and YouTube can be followed for this purpose, and group sport is cheerful and entertaining, and this time they cannot eat without awareness, and thus their entertainment is not based solely on eating.

And Dana considers that the schedule arranges the children's lives, and the best commitment to it is that every two or three hours he can have a meal or an appetizer. He should have a maximum of three meals and three appetizers.

To get them out of boredom, Dana proposes that children participate in cooking, helping the mother in preparing and preparing healthy food, and thus they get out of the routine and from permanent thinking about eating, in addition to a little movement and a sense of responsibility and cooperation.

food from healthy food recommends popcorn. Spices can be put on it such as cheese spices, red pepper and other flavors and prepared with water instead of oil, lupine or green beans that season now, corn cob, corn flakes with a little sugar, And baked salted sticks.

She points to the importance of eating vegetables and fruits during hunger, "the more we color them, the more vitamins and minerals that the body gets."

According to Dana, fruits can be cut and placed in a fruit dryer with a few spices to make them crunchy. Apples are made with cinnamon, oranges are dried and dipped in black chocolate. Toast can be roasted and added raisins to it and placed in the oven.

She suggests that children help their mothers in making Ramadan sweets, and they can also help prepare sweets. Sugar can be replaced with saccharin and milk with skim milk to reduce calories, according to Dana.
