Behavior
Nutrition
certainly affects the child's physical health, but did you know it can also
affect your child's behavior? Studies show that a poor diet may be associated
with attention deficit disorder / hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) due to
preservatives, sugars and lack of thiamine found in many junk food.
Intelligence
In
terms of cognitive ability, children who eat a healthy diet will be better able
to concentrate in school, which means they can maximize their potential
intelligence.
Dentistry
Children
with poor diets tend to have poor dental health compared to children who eat
healthy diets. The main problem with a diet low in relation to the teeth is the
amount of refined sugar in junk food. The sugars feed bacteria in the mouth and
cause cavities. In addition, processed foods, and carbonated beverages usually
have a large amount of colorants in them, which can lead to staining.
Obesity
Most parents know that
obesity is not a good thing for children. With a poor diet, the weight can be a
problem, even if your child is very active. The key here is to replace bad fats
and sugars, such as those found in soda, chips, candy and other junk foods with
good fats like those found in olive oil, fruits and potatoes. Obesity can cause
diabetes, sleep problems, high blood pressure and respiratory problems as well
as problems that last into adulthood.
