Nutritionist warned about the dangers of childhood obesity
Nutritionist, MD Mikhail Ginzburg warned about the dangers of childhood obesity.

Such children often face rejection from their peers and even their parents, and they perceive bans on sweets as a manifestation of dislike.

He stressed that the problem needs to be solved comprehensively — through psychological support, proper nutrition and physical activity, writes RT.

According to him, it is important for people with a predisposition to excess weight to treat health care as a profession, and adults should set the right example for children.
