Can The Mediterranean Diet & Olive Oil Combat Childhood Obesity?

By Jennifer Marie Anderson


When it comes to some of the greatest concerns seen in the country, obesity ranks highly. More than anything else, it seems, many of these concerns seem to be drawn towards children and the types of lifestyles that they take up from day to day. It could be argued that even the smallest of changes can make a difference, which is fair to assume. This is why it's important to make note of the Mediterranean diet, composed of products along the lines of olive oil.

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.

The article stated that children, who stick with the Mediterranean diet in the long term, stand a 15% lesser risk of experiencing obesity. It goes without saying that children must remain healthy and I believe that the best way for this to be done is to incorporate different foods. Seeing as how children are less likely to incorporate such products, parents must make it a point to incorporate certain foods overtime. It's smarter for parents to slowly introduce different foods to their kids, regardless of how long it takes.

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.
