It has been pointed out, that parents themselves should serve as a model of correct nutrition. However, the stress has also been made on the fact, that not only nutrition should be corrected and viewed, but the fight against obesity must be performed on all levels of human consciousness – ‘a routine should be developed at an early age, not just fitness, but also nutrition, mind, body and spirit’.
