Our country
is no exception and are victims of this type of disease; according with a
report by the National Nutrition Survey in 2008 and 2009, 21.4% of children
aged 5 to 12 years are overweight or obese; which means increased 6.5%
according to the survey conducted in 1996, together researchers from the
University of Costa Rica (UCR) noted that the Costa Rican children have one of
the highest obesities throughout Latin America. This is an extremely disturbing
and alarming level which we must take into account and be aware of it; because
it is a very high number of affected population to just an underdeveloped
country.
When we
refer to end childhood obesity we must consider many aspects that arise which
are highly influential as family factor since due to high labor competition because
mother and father have to go to work and seek support for their households;
This leads to the habit of buying fast food shops or products with a high
percentage of sugars, calories and very little nutritional percentage. (NI, Nutrintegra-
Nutrition for the whole family, 2012) likewise has lost the habit of sharing
family dinner or lunch; by the fact that large routines do not have much free
time allowed, to share a healthy family table as it did years ago. Another
highlight are the habits instilled in children, which is co-related to the
family and to remember that the values are inculcated in the house and that
is why both the behavior of parents are very repetitive in children; this
implies the fact q if the father used to eating foods high in fat child will
have a higher chance of making the same as a repetitive behavior; this is due
to a pattern of behavior and education.
The daily
life of children is invaluable in obese children; since the same every day
perform less physical activity, thanks to the great importance has been given
to technology; that with leads the daily energy expenditure is very little
putting these as a vulnerable community and which over the years has changed
all going to play out means bringing the cell into the yard, playing in turn
means the computer and search for Internet gambling factors that benefit weight
gain in children under 12 years. (Vega, 2013) however we can not forget the
school curriculum; it was not until 2012 that took a little consideration and
banned the sale of chips, soda and candy, to implement the sale of healthy
products such as fruits, snacks without trans fats, fiber-based crackers,
oatmeal and nothing in excess 60 calories; searching and lower the high
percentage of obesity. (Villegas, 2012).
All the
general population has a great social influence of the media advertisers are
responsible for sponsoring such foods as healthy and safe a daily habit, which
can be done without caution of all physical, social damages psychological factors
that can lead to short, medium or long; However we must remember that this is
an area charge only sell and economic gain.
Children
are victims of obesity, which leads to poor self-esteem, sadness, depression,
they feel rejected by society because they can not enter the pattern that has
now created society.
