A doctor has spoken about the harm of eating to gadgets for children

Eating in children under gadgets can have negative consequences for health. This was told on February 7 by Yulia Sidorova, endocrinologist, founder of the school of nutrition and hormonal health Seeds.

According to her, eating while watching any devices can threaten a child with choking due to the fact that he is overly fascinated by the screen of the gadget.

The doctor noted that children interested in the device begin to swallow food and do not chew it or forget about the chewing process altogether, which significantly increases the likelihood of choking and choking, especially if the child eats too quickly, as well as chokes on food with drinks, while not controlling the actions.

"While eating to cartoons, children lose the ability to navigate their own feelings of hunger and satiety. Gadgets distract the child from what is happening to their body and they may continue to eat even when they are already full. This leads to overeating and violation of the natural perception of hunger," Sidorova told Gazeta.Ru.

According to the doctor, in order to teach the younger generation the right behavior at the table, you should start by dividing the time for food and gadgets. In addition, it is worth choosing healthy food and avoid harmful products with "empty" calories, which are often associated with screen entertainment programs.
