Obese kids in Europe: Hungary is at the top of the list

Parents should watch out for the lifestyle and prevent the illnesses of their children.

The first thousand days of a child’s life determine their later health and eligibility for a complete life, reports Szeretlek Magyarország.

Certain genetic information is determined at birth, but environmental factors can largely transform them.

Genomes define body shape and metabolism, but microbiome, the ecological system formed by microorganisms living in the human body, influences the expression of the genetic code to a great extent.

Early overeating and upbringing in an overly sterile environment reprogram the system and create an unfavourable adaptation. The child becomes more prone to diabetes, for example, as well as obesity and certain infectious diseases.

That is why it is beneficial to ask for our doctor’s opinion in favour of our children’s future.

The prevention program of the Czeizel Institute is a pioneer in the exploration, prevention, and treatment of chronical conditions. Nutritionist and paediatrician Dr Zsuzsanna Almássy, who has decades of professional experience and excellent clinical results, is the head of the illness prevention program of the institute and awaits families with a history of obesity and weight problems in previous generations. If prevention starts at the right time, most illnesses with a genetic code can be avoided.
