The Mediterranean Diet, Olive Oil Included, In Relation To Obesity

By Jennifer Marie Anderson


Obesity is one of the biggest concerns seen in the United States and there are many reasons for this. It goes without saying that this condition is becoming increasingly prevalent amongst children, which means that certain methods must be brought into effect. Maybe certain methods will work better than others, given the fact that every child is different. With this in mind, it's worth noting how the Mediterranean diet with olive oil will be able to help matters.

According to an article on ABC7, it is possible that the Mediterranean diet can prove to be useful in the face of childhood obesity. Araceli Cervantes was given information by the family pediatrician that her daughter, Roxi, needed to look into ways to reduce weight. Even though methods like consuming more produce and the like were considered, Roxi's different tastes made this a challenge at the onset. Even though children are different, in regards to their individual tastes, the Mediterranean diet was still recognized.

Keep in mind that there are many adults who follow this regimen already, which is understandable. With so many different products, from produce to olive oil, it's clear that there is quite a bit of range in regards to the allowed food products. Companies along the lines of Unaprol, as you can very well imagine, support the usage of this diet. While it's clear that this regimen has been able to help adults, it would not be out of the question to think that it could help children just as much.

Children who have been able to maintain the Mediterranean diet were 15% less likely to become obese, which is what the article mentioned. Seeing as how healthy foods aren't the easiest for children to try, the report mentioned that these foods should be encouraged slowly over the course of time. Simply forcing your children to try new foods is not going to breed desired results. More than anything else, slow encouragement will be able to build refined palates early on in life.

It's clear that the Mediterranean diet has its advantages, whether you're talking about the usage of fruit, veggies, olive oil, or what have you. Roxi, as the article detailed, was able to eat healthier because of this new regimen and her physical activity in school was able to improve as well. It's clear that her focus on certain sports, swimming included, was able to help her lifestyle just as much as the implementation of healthier foods. Roxi saw results and I believe that others could follow suit.
