Promoting active lifestyles

By Hitomy Matsuda | Project developer

We are very happy to greet you and that you continue to be part of our team. In this opportunity, we would like to tell you about one of the essential workshops in our Nutrition program.

Overweight and obesity are problems of malnutrition that are of great concern to Mexico due to the high rates that the child population presents according to national estimates. Given that our population comes from vulnerable conditions, in which extreme poverty does not allow them to have access to a food basket, most of our users present malnutrition problems, whether malnutrition, obesity or overweight.

Child malnutrition is usually caused by the presence of several factors such as misinformation, lack of time and money resources to access nutritious food and lack of medical attention. In our Institution we contribute to combat these factors by providing our users with complete and nutritious meals, as well as nutritional education to both users and families. In addition, we encourage children and adolescents to lead an active lifestyle. This is promoted through the implementation of the sports workshop, in which our users practice a sport such as soccer and play team activities planned by the sports teacher.

This workshop is very important for the Nutrition program because it helps our users to become familiar with an active lifestyle and to strengthen their social skills.

Thanks to your effort and contribution, it is possible for these activities to be carried out and we can continue to fight against child malnutrition so that they maintain a state of health that allows them to grow optimally.

Thank you endlessly for your support!

Promoviendo estilos de vida más activos

 

Estamos muy felices de saludarte y que continúes siendo parte de nuestro equipo. En esta oportunidad, nos gustaría hablarte de uno de los talleres esenciales en el programa de Nutrición de nuestro modelo.

El sobrepeso y la obesidad son problemas de malnutrición que preocupan mucho a México debido a los altos índices que presenta la población infantil de acuerdo con estimaciones nacionales. Dado que nuestra población proviene de condiciones de vulnerabilidad, en la cual, la extrema pobreza no les permite acceder a una canasta alimentaria, la mayoría de nuestros usuarios al ingresar presentan problemas de malnutrición, ya sea desnutrición, obesidad o sobrepeso.

La malnutrición infantil se suele originar por la presencia de varios factores como la desinformación, la falta de recursos de tiempo y dinero para acceder a una alimentación nutritiva y falta de atención médica. En nuestra Institución contribuimos en combatir con dichos factores a través de proporcionar a nuestros usuarios comidas completas y nutritivas, así como educación nutricional tanto a los usuarios como a las familias. Aunado a esto, se propicia que los niños y adolescentes tengan un estilo de vida activo. Esto se promueve a través de la implementación del taller deportivo, en el cual, nuestros usuarios practican un deporte como el fútbol y juegan en equipo actividades planeadas por el maestro de deportes.

Este taller es muy importante para el programa de Nutrición porque ayuda a que nuestros usuarios se familiaricen con un estilo de vida activo, además, fortalezcan sus habilidades sociales.

Gracias a tu esfuerzo y aportación, es posible que estas actividades se lleven a cabo y podamos seguir luchando con la malnutrición infantil para que ellos mantengan un estado de salud que les posibilite crecer de manera óptima.

¡Gracias infinitas por tu apoyo!
