Follow Canadian Investment Immigration and Life in Canada: The American journal "Pediatric Obesity" recently published a new study from Canada that found that overly stressed parents are more likely to raise overweight children.
Dr. Kaiten Shankadas from St. Michael's Hospital in Canada analyzed data from a children's health research project. The results showed that the more stressed the parents are, the more likely the children are to feel hungrier, have increased appetites, and prefer to be sedentary. Stressed parents are more likely to purchase ready-made meals or junk food rather than preparing healthy meals for their children.
Dr. Shankadas stated that the issue of childhood obesity cannot be ignored, and if not controlled early, it will undoubtedly affect health in adulthood. Childhood is a critical period for developing coping mechanisms for stress, healthy eating habits, and exercise routines. Certain damages that occur during childhood can be difficult to remedy later in life.
