"Nutralizer" is the name of a Interactive CD whose objective is to help the child population to eat a healthy and balanced diet and "grow strong and healthy", and that for the moment will be distributed in several Madrid schools.
The interesting thing about the game is that you have to confess If you play sports and how is our diet (breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner) with the mouse taking the food consumed into that robot and in a few seconds gives us the verdict and advice.
This is the same as the endocrine or a nutritionist would tell us, but the advantage is that it is through the game and it may be that by seeing it in such a visual way it impacts and makes more aware.
The invention has been devised by the Pharmacy department of the Complutense University of Madrid and the Municipal Health Service of the Madrid City Council. The authors confirm that in the Spanish child population the consumption of proteins and fats to the detriment of vegetables and cereals, being therefore the first place in childhood obesity in Europe (14% affected) and 26% overweight.
They also remind us that the Spanish population continues suspending in nutrition and show a survey of 5 and 6 year old students in a children's school where several of them did not know what spinach is. Which coincides with the data published here of children who have never eaten an orange or a tomato.
My conclusion is that the game is welcome as well as orchards in schools and that parents take the children to the market (not only hyper), and cook together. If you don't like spinach, it's understandable (my husband doesn't either), but at least they know what they are.
