One of the most important factors in children\u2019s health and also in adults is the nutrition. Eating a healthy and balanced diet will help strengthen the immune system of the little ones and prevent certain diseases during their growth. Teaching good habits about the\u00a0consumption of fruits and vegetables<\/b>\u00a0at a young age is the best way to make them get used to them from an early age.<\/p>\n
According to data from the\u00a0World Health Organization<\/b>\u00a0(WHO<\/a>), one of the biggest concerns of the 21st century is childhood\u2019s obesity, which affects the entire world. In 2016, more than 41 million children under the age of five were suffering from obesity. The main cause is the mismatch that occurs, in most cases, between calories consumed and burned, and this is something that must be taken care of imminently.<\/p>\n In\u00a0CINATUR<\/b>\u00a0we are concerned about the increase in the consumption of fruits and vegetables in children. The\u00a0production and distribution of fruits and vegetables<\/b>\u00a0is the key to maintain a healthy diet, in addition to other recommendations such as promoting physical activity or carrying out regular weight control.<\/p>\n Having a good vegetable and fruit\u00a0supplier\u00a0<\/b>is essential to meet the\u00a0five pieces of fruit and vegetables<\/b>\u00a0that must be consumed daily. This campaign was promoted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, along with the\u00a0WHO<\/a>\u00a0and the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO<\/a>) as a measure against the detected low consumption. It is at this stage of life when children begin to establish their eating habits.<\/p>\n It is our responsibility to increase the consumption and reach at least\u00a0400 grams per day<\/b>. A daily and simple routine that can be carried out is to include with each plate during lunch and dinner a garnish of varied vegetables and accustom them to have during breakfast, lunch and snack a piece of fruit. As we already talk about in previous publications, seasonal fruits and vegetables favor the variety and are perfect to accompany with each meal. Parents and\u00a0schools<\/b>\u00a0play a fundamental role in the consumption of fruits and vegetables in children. Schools should include a minimum intake of these foods, rich in vitamins and minerals, in their daily menus. It is also important that they organize talks and workshops to discuss about nutrition education. In the\u00a0family home<\/b>, having healthy habits should be a priority.In this way, children learn at a very young age to eat healthy and will continue to do so during their growth.<\/p>\n A recommended practice is to have them help in the kitchen, during the meal preparations and going with them to the supermarket. This way, they will know the foods that they are going to consume. Children should have a balanced diet and always encourage them to practice exercise. In CINATUR<\/a>, as\u00a0fruit and vegetable producers<\/b>, we promote food education for everybody.<\/p>\n One of the most important factors in children\u2019s health and also in adults is the nutrition.
