Mom at work - the child obesity

Children of working mothers often become victims of obesity, even if their fathers are constantly sit at home. That is the conclusion drawn by researchers from Cornell University.

Previously, scientists have proved that   working moms   children are more likely to suffer from overweight and obesity. This time, the experts decided to check whether the presence of non-working father on the child's weight. It turned out that even if the pope all day sitting at home and watching the children, and mothers continue to work, the weight of children is still higher than normal.

The study's authors stress that they do not want to call the men are bad parents. But the findings suggest the need for a more thorough discussion on child nutrition between spouses. Dads need to step on your throat and learn to cook. All the more so because of the economic crisis, the number of employed men fell much harder than working women.

Today, in the developed western countries the fathers "householders" are increasing, and many do not consider it shameful. Parents agree on the redistribution of household responsibilities, while mom and produces money for food, dad raising children, cooking, washing and cleaning.

Average,   working moms   spend with their children for 127 minutes a day less time than housewives. Unfortunately, in terms of healthy eating unemployed fathers can not compensate for this loss. This is largely due to the fact that most men do not have the culinary talent, preferring to resort to semi-finished or ready-made meals, as well as various kinds of unhealthy snacks. Being on a diet of children are rapidly gaining weight.
