Albanian children have made it a habit to eat breakfast before going to school, but 25% of them often skip the most important meal of the day.
A study conducted by the Institute of Public Health shows that children who do not eat breakfast are at risk of overweight and obesity.
The report, which measures the healthy behaviors of school-age children across Europe, ranks our country among the top for fruit and vegetable consumption by young children.
Specialists say that healthy eating habits, physical activity and spending less time in front of screens can help reduce obesity and overweight, which has become a global challenge. According to the latest data, 1 in 10 children aged 5 to 19 are obese, facing serious health risks such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and some types of cancer.
