Dietary habits in pre‑school and early school children ’s spontaneous drawings

Abstract

Obesity is a problem which also affects children. It probably results from parents’ dietary conformism. Children’s plumpness is one of the disasters of contemporary civilization. It is most frequently a result of excessive consumption of fast foods, sweets and sweetened drinks. Obese children show lover immunity to diseases, they are less physically active and more susceptible to civilization diseases, such as diabetes, hypertension or atherosclerosis. It is therefore essential to start shaping appropriate dietary habits as early as at pre‑school age.
