Spanish Nutritionist Warns of Sugar's Impact on Children's Taste Buds

In Spain, a growing concern among parents is children's preference for sugary treats over healthy options. Nutritionist Andrea Urizar, known for her Instagram presence (@nutricionistaandrea), sheds light on this issue. She explains that "the body is very smart and knows how to appreciate real food." However, early exposure to excessive sugar can alter taste preferences, leading to a reliance on processed foods. Urizar provides a personal example, stating, "My 8-year-old daughter prefers scrambled eggs, bacon, blueberries, and avocado for breakfast over a chocolate crepe." This highlights the importance of introducing children to healthy foods early and educating them about the benefits of a balanced diet. The video inspires parents to focus on unprocessed foods to help their children develop a healthier relationship with food.
