How to feed adolescents between 12 and 18 years #718949

Unhealthy dietary practices common among young people affect the synchronization of circadian rhythms and predispose them to develop digestive problems and obesity. Adolescents are the population group between 12 and 18 years old, with very marked food preferences and, to a certain extent, quite far from the healthiest dietary patterns for this age group. The common practice of lightening dinners (based on salads, or just fruit or yogurt), the tendency to snack more than to eat a real meal, the preference for fast food, the beginning to consume alcoholic beverages on weekends week, etc., are some of the habits that make up the day to day eating. These unhealthy dietary practices affect the synchronization of circadian rhythms and predispose young people to develop digestive problems from an early age. They even increase the risk of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular disease and obesity.
