Why the need to manage our Children's diet today

The number of overweight children has risen substantially in the last two decades and is likely to continue to rise unless major prevention programmes are initiated. One in five children are obese, with a significant probability that they are already suffering from the early signs of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and liver disease without even being aware of what is happening to them. These figures are set to rise, for the first time in history our children are being exposed to many factors that are contributing to an inactive lifestyle which later in life will increase the risk of developing chronic diseases as these children become adults.

Lifestyle factors affecting children's Health

Films on demand

Social Media

Gaming

Excessive TV

Busy parents

Advertising

PC usage

Education pressure

The inactive physical social culture mixed with the power of brands and advertisers understanding this new generational behavior and the ability to influence children with engaging emotional, entertaining experiences and to encourage them to share these experiences with their friends to push more marketing through these channels is exposing more children to unhealthy food marketing which has had a detrimental effect on children’s health and wellbeing

Children are relentlessly exposed to unhealthy food or misled to food marketing claims of certain foods as being healthy but are actually hidden in high sugars, carbohydrates, saturated fats and other bad ingredients
