Snacks (snacks) that are not good for children are high fat and high sugar.
Such snacks have contributed to fatty liver and abdominal obesity (childhood obesity) in children.
Obesity in children can have an increased risk of various health problems, such as diabetes (diabetes type 2), hypertension, heart disease, respiratory disorders, psychiatric disorders, and so on.
Fatty liver also has health risks that can be worse, such as cirrhosis of the liver and liver cancer.
The researchers found that snacking on high-fat and high-sugar snack foods was linked to belly fat and liver fat (liver steatosis).
According to a study published in the Journal of Hepatology, a journal of the American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases, hypercaloric diets (high calories), frequent snacking of high-fat or high-sugar snacks will increase the content of intrahepatic triglyceride (IHTG) or fat liver and fat around the waist.
The conclusion that eating in small portions but often (snacking) will further contribute to fatty liver and weight gain compared to if consuming food in large portions.
Foods that are sweet or oily / fatty (fried) are indeed "rich in calories" but "poor nutrients", snack foods or snacks that contain sugar will also reduce appetite.
