Poor dietary habits in Greek schoolchildren are strongly associated with screen time: results from the EYZHN (National Action for Children’s Health) Program

Investigation of compliance with Mediterranean diet therapy (MD) in representative samples of school-aged children in Greece and relationship between MD and lifestyle factors

The data comes from 232,401 people (51% of boys) who participated in the health survey (8 years old) (2015). Trained researchers got estimates of physical health (PF) and human body measurements. The status of physical activity (PA), activities that are likely to sit and sleeping time were evaluated by self-management questionnaire. Evaluation of Mediterranean meal by KIDDED test

40% of the participants had the MD compliance rate the highest (8 or more), whereas 1 to 10 participants in sex had a low MD compliance rate (3 or less). Participants who adhered to the MD showed better positions in anthropometrics and lifestyle characteristics. Incorrect PA status related to adjustment of several potential confounders, increased screening time (2 hours / day), and reduced MD compliance

We support the ability to moderately adhere to MD and adjust the dietary intake needed by current guidelines. However, the screening time is closely related to the low MD compliance

In the face of the screen dilemma, CCFC is promoting reducing the screen time of children. In 2011, when the National Youth Education Association, the earliest early childhood education institution nationwide, began to revise the statement of views on infant technology programs, it encouraged NAEYC to participate in the public health community and the time that children spend on the screen We set a strong limit. Our efforts encouraged NAEYC to strengthen our disappointing primary, but we have repeatedly heard that infant educators believe that the final edition is still missing. They are looking for information and guidance, working with parents at screen time at home, putting together marketing campaigns and making decisions based on evidence of whether screen technology or infants are used or not .

British research found that imprisonment significantly impairs female health for various reasons. The influence of prison accommodation, coupled with withdrawal from families and children, affects health and health such as lack of exercise, insufficient choice of meal, intimacy with smokers.

Changing the processing parameters and changing the meal pattern resulted in certain health differences. Inappropriate eating habits are the main cause of poor health, backgrounds, functionalities and nutritional supplements are the main interventions of lifestyle diseases. Functionality and dietary supplements are ordinary foods, but they contain special ingredients called bioactive ingredients with a special health promoting effect. As a food technology expert, I focus on the functional characteristics of various foods. Before we use medicine as food, I am promoting the concept of food as a medicine.

The availability of health foods, as well as the movement and monitoring of diseases and their association with diet, improves the intake of health foods. School-based programs and health education can also improve the diet of children. Price cuts are one of the most effective strategies for buying health foods. Reducing low fat snacks and applying low fat labels is associated with a significant increase in youth consumption. It is time to strictly administer fast food and junk food advertisements in mass media. Healthy meals need to be dealt with through the food program of TV, radio, newspaper, and school meals. Children should be encouraged to take ready-made, affordable, home-made, nutritious foods. Governments need to take measures to reduce the cost of food in countries like us. Taxation on ready-made foods may be assessed
