What you feed your child now affects his adult life

University of Calgary did a study that indicates that what your child eats today may affect his adult life.

They found that the diet in childhood and adolescence can permanently alter how genes react and cause changes in hormones.

So think twice before letting your child gobbling down that sweets or fat food as it has altercations.

The researchers suggests that what you eat as a child can have a huge impact on health later in life, after it mirrored a test results of three rats study groups.

One group of baby rats is fed high-protein, the other high-fibre, while the last one a balanced meal. When the rats have grown, all three groups are fed high-fat and high-sugar diet, emulating junk eating habits of North Americans.

It seems that the high-protein rat group gain the most weight as they gorged more on the diet, while the high-fibre rat group comes in second, still heavy but not as much as the earlier group, and lastly the balanced rat group was the slimmest of the lot.

Researchers says although we can’t change out genetics, we can influence how our genes will react in the future.

So people feed your younglings a balanced diet.
