The dizzying effects of fast food are in a recent National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey published. More than 9 million children and adolescents are overweight. Childhood obesity is responsible for 50% of new cases of diabetes in children, sleep apnea and asthma. While we are concerned about the rise of obesity in children but little educational resources are aimed at young children.
Fast food has taken over the American diet in and around our schools, threatening the health of our children. We must teach our children early on the impact of fast food. We need to fight the flood of junk food and sugary cereal commercials. We need to teach our children to separate fruit and vegetables from junk food. Not only are snacks, fried fast food and are an ever-present danger to our children, but the use of sports drinks and soft drinks also took their toll. Many of the sports drinks and flavored waters are laden with sugar or sugar substitutes such as high-fructose corn syrup.
Bottled water is directed to mineral deficient due to the cleaning process. Signs of micronutrient deficiencies are listed in decreasing cognitive abilities, fatigue, cardiovascular function and immune response. Instead of the deep, sweet, mineral-rich spring water we drink processed water. Some in the industry respond bottled water by sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium to their drinks. Parents must stay on the ball and their children away from the harmful effects of the Fast-Food Guide.
