The Sex - That
said, maintaining healthy eating habits is key to preventing obesity. It is
often expressed in various studies. But now a new study conducted by the
Institute of Food Science and Technology and Nutrition (ICTAN) of the Spanish
National Research Council (CSIC) points to the fact that a step further.
The research institute showed that certain healthy habits like eating schedule more than four times during the day or eating too fast can not be associated with body fat levels lower than the exercise habit at leisure.
The fat content of the data obtained by taking the sum of six skinfold and waist circumference of 1978 adolescents (1017 females) aged between 13-18 years from five cities in Spain (Granada, Madrid, Murcia, Santander and Zaragoza). The role of physical activity during leisure time on levels of fat were also assessed in this study.
"To clarify the effect of dietary habits on obesity, it is important for us to learn together with other lifestyle such as physical activity," said research team leader Sonia MartÃnez Gomez, a researcher at the Department of Metabolism and Nutrition ICTAN.
Boys were generally higher, greater weight, waist circumference is larger and eat more quickly. However, according to research by the accumulation of fat content is lower.
Moreover, in a study published in the Journal of Adolescent Health, researchers also observed that eating breakfast every day is very beneficial for young men who do not exercise at all. This is because the young men who often skip breakfast shows body fat content is higher.
"The results show that 1 in 4 girls and 1 in 3 teenage boys in Spain are overweight or obese," said Gomez Martinez as reported from newkerala, Friday (22/06/2012). However, only 18.5 percent of teenage boys who do not do any sport, in contrast to adolescent girls who reach 48.5 percent.
Sexual maturity and increased body size and weight are determining the nutritional needs of adolescents. This need will grow to 20 percent of his height as an adult and 50 percent of the muscle and bone mass during puberty.
The process requires high energy and nutrients so that the diet should be designed to meet these requirements. Among the most important mineral for the fulfillment of three teenagers, namely calcium, iron and zinc.
Calcium is essential for bone growth, while the iron is useful for maintaining a network of hematology (red blood cells) and muscle tissue growth. Finally, zinc contributes to the growth of bones and muscles as well as hair and nails.
