What do these foods have to be a headache? They are so sweet! But it suits me to leave it, why will they fat so much? You will also know a lot of similar situations. Do you know why we like these foods so much?

It cannot be denied that everyone has their tastes and, therefore, among the flavors, each person has their preferences and their “eye” foods. However, there are other reasons, as we have been shown by recent research. In this study, it has been observed that children and young people have a great habit of eating this type of “complexion” outside meals and, although nuances can be made, the advertising of food directed to this age range is limited to these foods. The study concludes that one of the causes of high consumption is that.

The typical black and white sugar is obtained from sugar cane or sugar beet. The main component of these products are simple carbohydrates (sucrose), which are very poor in vitamins and minerals due to the need to be refined for their transformation. On the other hand, we pay more and more attention to the limitation of sugar consumption, but we also increase the intake of products based on sugar, especially cookies and candies. For example, 95% of the candies that children like are just sugar; a French study reveals that a 10-year-old has exceeded the amount of sugars that his grandparents have ingested throughout his life.

Of course, sugar is not the only ingredient in cookies, but they can also contain flour, fat, flavourings, salt or others, depending on the type of cookie (jam, chocolate, etc.)

As for the energy supply, these foods should not be more than 10% of a person's daily needs. In a diet of 2,500 kcal, 12 sugar stools or their substitutes (biscuits, chocolate, cocoa, refreshing drinks, candies, jam, etc.) It is obtained by consuming.

In order to be able to control our consumption of sugar and that can help, we have included in the following list the sugar contribution of the different meals:

Adolescents and alcohol Recent studies have confirmed that alcohol consumption has often been reduced, but is still in a given age range, which shows that many young people still consume a lot of alcohol. According to the survey carried out in Madrid to 994 young people of the category BUP (16 years), 73.1% consume alcoholic beverages, especially the weekends, being the most consumed wine and beer. There are no big changes depending on sex, that is, consumption is similar between women and men. This tendency is especially worrying if we take into account that the habits taken in this age range are maintained for a long time. Juvenile diet and osteoporosis A team of researchers from the University of Alcalá de Henares of Madrid has studied the measure of food of young people to determine if it is adequate to avoid osteoporosis in the future. The results indicate that the level of phosphorus is adequate, but that the contributions of calcium and zinc of the diet do not meet the needs. The report concludes that it is increasingly urgent to facilitate the habits of young people and promote healthier ways.
