The nutritional situation of children
in Germany

Continued poor nutrition can have lifelong consequences. Therefore, the questions inevitably arise: What do children eat and drink in Germany and to what extent does the social status of their families play a role? An overview of the nutritional situation of children and adolescents in Germany.

Every child has the right to an adequate standard of living in accordance with "his physical, mental, spiritual, moral and social development". This is what Article 27 of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child says. A healthy standard of living also includes a healthy diet. It is the cornerstone of physical wellbeing. But in no other European country do so many overweight children live as in Germany.

Driving license, car and the equipment for your first own apartment: When children get fledged, they usually have some big and expensive wishes. In order to be able to meet these requirements, one in three German savers (33 percent) puts money back for the next generation. This is the result of a current TNS Emnid survey on behalf of Postbank. Those who provide for the offspring use a savings account (38 percent), a home savings contract (31 percent) or life insurance (29 percent) with above-average frequency. Funds and stocks, on the other hand, are not very popular: only 21 percent of those who make up reserves for family members invest the money on the stock exchange; the average is 24 percent. 29 percent of the respondents even prefer to save the savings at home. The ups and downs of the stock market prices seem too uncertain to invest in the christening and birthday money of the children. “If you start saving for the youngsters early on and the savings do not have to be paid out on a fixed date, securities are a good way to generate profits above the inflation limit. It is advisable to buy shares in an investment or ETF fund – this means that investors take a manageable risk, ”recommends Karsten Rusch from Postbank.

What is important to know about tooth decay in young children

In young children, tooth decay is usually much faster than in adults, and the destruction often affects several teeth at the same time. In such situations, the prolonged inactivity of the child’s parents can lead to very serious consequences.

Don’t think that "that are just milk teeth and they will still fall out." The infectious carious process is not limited to hard tooth tissue, but goes quickly beyond the root with purulent fusion of the surrounding soft tissues. In such cases, the earliest removal of the deciduous tooth is the best option for the child’s health and normal life, which in itself often traumatizes the small child’s psyche and causes persistent anxiety in the dentist’s office.

Overall, it actually looks pretty good. Education, prophylaxis and timely treatment have led to a decrease in the number of carious teeth in all age groups – except for small children. Caries becomes even more common in children under three years of age. Often these are even advanced and difficult to treat tooth decay. Caries is bad and much worse in young children. Here’s what the problem is, how to prevent and prevent tooth decay in toddlers.

The parents are responsible for the dental health of the offspring in the first years of life. It is important to brush your teeth regularly so that tooth decay doesn’t stand a chance.

Attractions & Events

If you want to deal with the sensation of blind people, you get a brief impression of what it is like to suddenly no longer see in the Speicherstadt, in dialogue in the dark. A moving experience. This experience will help young people to be more sensitive to blindness.

In the Planetarium Hamburg it is recommended to attend the various evening events with animated pictures and laser show. Some of these are accompanied by a DJ. So far I found the Pink Floyd Shows or the Deep Space Night for a chilled evening very cool.
