Reduce children's cholesterol and triglyceride levels
Increasing numbers of children with high blood cholesterol and triglycerides increase daily. This problem, which used to concern only adults, is now part of the daily lives of many Brazilian children. But why? What has changed?
The routine of children has changed a lot, as have their eating habits. In the old days, more fruits and vegetables were eaten and the meals were prepared by the mother. In contrast, nowadays, frozen and embedded foods are part of the children's plate: hamburgers, nuggets, sausage, sausage, pizzas, among others. The consumption of ready-to-eat foods has also increased: packet snacks, chips, soft drinks, chocolates, cakes and biscuits, yellow cheeses, salami, mortadella, ham.
Many children leave home without having breakfast and in the interval they eat pussy or hamburger and soda
Another change is the lack of physical activity. Before, children played a game of running, skipping rope or playing ball, today the sedentary lifestyle has taken over and the little ones only watch television, play videogame or stay on the computer and, most of the time, nibbling on treats. do?
You need to reorganize. Most of the mothers and fathers work out, come home and want to prepare a quick meal, but it needs to be nourishing.
What I usually recommend to parents is to change grocery shopping: Avoid stuffed cookies, chocolates, snacks, soft drinks . Try to buy fruit, cookies without filling, milk, yogurts, white cheese and turkey breast. When the child is hungry, she will eat what she has at home, but it is logical that if she has a treat, she will prefer her to eat an apple, for example.
As for meals, try to prepare daily: salads , cooked vegetables, rice, beans, meats. If the mother does not have time to cook, an alternative is to prepare some dishes at the end of the week and freeze: beans, cooked meats, braised ground beef with vegetables, chicken and fish. For those who have a person at home preparing meals, write down what you want them to prepare.
Have your children consume more natural juices, coconut water, and water. Avoid having sodas at home.
Try to offer healthy and nutritious food during the week and on the weekends release your child to eat something he wanted like candy, ice cream, a snack, or chocolate. What it can not is the child eating these foods every day.
It is also necessary to observe the snack of the school. Many children leave home without having breakfast and in the intermission they eat pox or hamburger and soda. Ingestion of these foods every day will certainly contribute to the rise in blood cholesterol and triglycerides and can lead to childhood obesity.
For sedentariness, try to get your child to do outdoor activities, even if it is only a few days of the week. If you can put him to do a sport: swimming, football, judo, ballet, circus classes, what he likes more. Encourage him to ride a bicycle, dance, jump rope or other activities that make him move his body.
It is time for parents to pay more attention to the health of their children. Some day-to-day changes can make a lot of difference, and in the future, your child will thank you.

Algae are part of the traditional food of various Asian countries, mainly Japan, where 25% of the menu is composed of these plants. In Brazil, they are still little known and considered exotic. But it may be an option to vary the dishes and an ally of those who are trying to lose weight. Professor of the Department of Biology of the University of São Paulo (USP) Eurico Cabral de Oliveira explains that algae have minimal fat content and many vitamins, proteins and fibers, as well as types of carbohydrates that our body has no ability to digest.
