T18 partner of the Institute of Sports Medicine

Daily consumption of fruits and vegetables and sports are essential to the health of children.

T18 group attended the conference to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Institute of Sports Medicine of Turin. Among the various initiatives, the Institute presented its study carried out in 2011 and 2012 with hundreds of children. Alarming finding: almost 40% of children are overweight and 10% are obese.

Children who play sports are many, but these practices do not seem sufficient. It is necessary, since childhood, to give preference to fruits and vegetables, rich in minerals and vitamins, rather than to sugars and carbohydrates. A balanced diet from childhood is the only way to prevent diseases and health problems.

All conference participants received a brochure T18 "The 5 colors of health", which illustrates in an effective and entertaining way for children and families, how to change the consumption of fruit and vegetables to be in better shape every day.
