Obesity in spanish children!

According to Adelardo Caballero (doctor) the spanish childrens are biggest than the european average, because, the parents are very tolerant with their children and they allow that the childrens eat a lot of jellis, sweets, etc. The problem of Spanish society that is not supercharged, as some believe, is that new habits of life impose more processed and fast foods and less exercise.

The results say that there are 18,2% of fat child in Spain and 8,5% have obesity. This is between 2-17 years old, bu if we see the childs between 6-9 years the numbers soar: 45,2% are fat. According to the doctor the figures are worrying. We have to have healthier living habits. They need to Spanish children watch less television and do more exercise at school, of course, but also in their leisure hours at home.

And if physical activity is important, not less food, which must be rich in fruits and vegetables and always balanced.
