Snacking and Weight

The hobby snacking evidently did not make an adolescent experience obesity. On the other hand, the research that was carried out by Food and Nutrition Database Research Inc in the USA expressed the adolescent that not be fond of snacking tended to have the excessive weight. 

The research that was carried out against 5,800 adolescents concluded the rate of general increase in the weight, especially in the stomach part, was the opposite of the number of snacks that they ate each day. 

Totalling 39% youth that admitted to not having the habit of snacking precisely experienced the problem of the weight. On the other hand 60% youth that had the habit of snacking tended to not face the problem of the weight or obesity. 

However, the chairman of the team of the researcher Dr Debra R Keast stated the findings did not prove the habit of snacking could help the adolescent to control their weight. However, was needed by the continuous research that only was not shaped like a survey to reply the question displayed the matter of the connection between the habit of snacking and the weight of someone. 

According to Keast, that must be done by parents was to push their children to eat the snack that was healthy like the fruit and luxuriant vegetables, dry, the biscuit just like fibre, and low milk products fat. (Reuters/Mps/X-5)
