Obesity, a growing global scourge, is now a major public health concern. According to a recent study published by The Lancet, more than one billion people are now affected by the disease, or one in eight people worldwide. An alarming increase that requires immediate action.
Moreover, in a world where health is a major concern, childhood obesity is emerging as a major challenge. According to the latest data, the number of overweight or obese children is steadily increasing, raising critical questions about the health and well-being of future generations.
Obesity in children is often the result of a complex set of factors, including unhealthy eating habits, sedentary lifestyles, social and economic influences, and genetic factors. This issue goes far beyond weight control and requires a holistic approach to address it.
Obesity is a complex disease that is influenced by various factors, of which the development of processed food occupies a dominant place. Over the decades, we have seen a decline in the consumption of fresh local produce in favor of highly processed foods high in calories, sugar, and fat. This dietary transition has led to an increase in calorie intake, contributing to the increase in obesity.
At MYUM, we believe in an approach to health that encompasses both physical and emotional well-being. That's why our VEGGY TOYS are in perfect harmony with our mission. By promoting knowledge of fruits and vegetables from an early age, they help to raise awareness among children and their families of the importance of a balanced diet rich in fruits and vegetables.
VEGGY TOYS, crochet toys depicting fruits and vegetables, offer a playful opportunity for food education for children. By encouraging creative play and the exploration of healthy foods, we aim to establish healthy habits that will last a lifetime. To accompany this message, we offer you a selection of MYUM products that will support your children's development:
