Children who drink sweet drinks such as orange juice, fruit juice and cola, they will be more likely to suffer from high blood pressure and heart disease in adulthood.
This was revealed by research conducted by the Medical Research Institute ofUniversity of Sydney su 2000 children 12 years old. According to the study, little ones who consume one or more sweetened soft drinks a day have thinner arteries behind the eyes, in the retina, and therefore, a greater risk of having high blood pressure, heart attacks and heart disease in adulthood.
The study, coordinated by Bamini Gopinath and also disclosed on‘American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, is the first to point out that sweet drinks and carbohydrates consumed in childhood heavily affect the retinal blood vessels, making them thinner. But the damage is not seen on the sight, but on the heart! The presence of this risk factor in children once again supports the need to teach them healthy eating habits, including less consumption of high-glycemic foods and soft drinks.
"It is further evidence that carbonated drinks are not good for children," said Gopinath. products are promoted or advertised to children ".
Once again then - as confirmed by the same scholars who conducted the research - one healthy and balanced diet from an early age mitigates il risk of having minor and serious illnesses in adulthood. In fact, foods intended for children should not be checked and weighed only in the first months of life, but also later when they start going to school or spend many hours at home: better to avoid fizzy and sugary drinks and perhaps opt for a good centrifuge of fruits and vegetables.
