Children whose parents have recently left or divorced are more likely to drink sugary drinks than those whose parents are married. In turn, it is known that the abuse of soda and other sugary drinks increases the risk of obesity, researchers from the University of San Francisco noted.

To avoid abuse of sugary drinks by the child, it is advisable for parents in the process of divorce to talk or have lunch with the child daily. When parents break up, children more than ever need stability in family relationships. Regular spending time together with one of the parents makes the child feel safe.

Experts have found that divorce does not provoke other dietary problems, such as skipping breakfast or eating out. According to the researchers, sweet drinks are very affordable.. In addition, children enjoy it a lot.. Scientists urge parents to do everything possible to protect their child from the risks of obesity, writes Meddaily.
