How to prevent obesity?

If we do not make mistakes too at the table, how to explain the obesity figures? Is it because the food industry provides us with shoddy products?

The hypothesis is plausible. Our food purchases have changed a great deal over the past thirty years, we gradually relinquish some manufactured products in favor of meals (canned and frozen) and sugar products, changes that could lead to significant changes in intake nutrients.

The nature of certain ingredients raises a health problem: palm oil or coconut oil, corn syrup, fructose, soy protein in beef meatballs or fish ... The negative impact of these ingredients on obesity is obvious. It is not just the fault of the food industry, obesity is multifactorial.

Moreover, some industrial work well or try to do better. Excess dietary salt in particular, denounced for years well down into the products.
But the pressure of industrial and commercial food environment has a major influence on parenting behaviors. Promoting food too salty, too fat or too sweet is pointed in France and abroad.
If indeed we know the temptations, we can build meals with good, fresh or prepared.

But must still be able to buy ... because the food quality is directly related to price. A balanced diet is more expensive than a harmful diet. One euro buys more calories of cookies or chips as carrots or meat. Now, if a given number of calories provides the same amount of energy to the body, it does not contain the same nutrients, vitamins, minerals and trace elements. This is one reason (but not the only) why people who have less money are the most affected by obesity. Sad reality.

Why the manufactured food she is less expensive? Yet there is more process and ingredients. Eating Well in fact asking the time, money and some knowledge of food. Time to shop and prepare meals. Money because the quality is clearly correlated to the price. Knowledge to organize, rely on basic and frozen or deal with the seasons. If you have three, you have little risk of being overweight.

Then you must add to these three, a 4th element is: regular physical activity to always keep the line. For lack of physical activity is our weak point in France and elsewhere, efforts are much worn on the diet, but little about the sport
