Nowadays children spend a lot of time in close areas, like home or school. Not many childrenn play outside every day and this is a problem.
The pediatrician recomends to play and do activities in contact with nature to improve health.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Si nos paramos a pensar en el tiempo que pasan los pequeños en sus casas o en sus centros escolares, sin estar en la calle y al aire libre, quizá nos sorprendamos. Los niños españoles de cuatro a 12 años pasan una media de casi mil horas al año delante de las pantallas del televisor, ordenador o juegos electrónicos, lo que supone una media diaria de 20 horas en espacios cerrados. Solo uno de cada cuatro niños juega al aire libre cada día, siendo aún menor en grandes ciudades.

Son datos proporcionados por la Asociación Española de Pediatría (AEP) que, conscientes de esta realidad, recomienda que los niños estén en contacto con la naturaleza y que jueguen al aire libre, para alejarles de hábitos poco saludables como el sedentarismo e impactar en la disminución del consumo de alcohol y/o drogas en la adolescencia.

Las ventajas que tiene esto, para la salud física y mental, son infinitas. "Estar más tiempo al aire libre y en contacto con la naturaleza, mejora el control de las enfermedades crónicas (diabetes, asma, supervivientes de cáncer, obesidad...), ayuda a prevenir la adicción al alcohol y otras drogas, favorece el desarrollo neurocognitivo y reduce los problemas de conducta. Además, procura mayor bienestar mental, equilibra los niveles de vitamina D y disminuye el número de visitas al médico", explica el pediatra Juan Antonio Ortega, coordinador del nuevo Comité de Salud Medioambiental que ha creado la AEP para 'mejorar la salud de los niños, protegiendo el planeta'.

Bajo este lema, s e pretende "dotar, especialmente a los pediatras, pero también a profesionales sanitarios y personal relacionado con el cuidado y crianza de los pequeños y adolescentes, de las herramientas necesarias para crear ambientes saludables para los niños. La creación de este comité responde además, a esa necesidad de establecer actuaciones basadas en la evidencia científica que procure una mejor salud infantil y, en general, mejor salud de la población", expone MªJosé Mellado, presidenta de la AEP. La salud medioambiental pediátrica se perfila como uno de los grandes retos del siglo XXI.

"Salud, enfermedad y medioambiente son un trinomio indisoluble. Las medidas que favorecen la salud, son buenas también para proteger el planeta; y al revés", defiende Ortega. De ahí que una de las cosas más esenciales que deben interiorizar los niños desde la infancia es la importancia que tiene vivir en entornos saludables, de conectar con la naturaleza y de disfrutar al aire libre. "Los niños tienen cientos de amigos en las redes sociales y sólo uno para poder salir a jugar a la calle", lamenta el pediatra, insistiendo así, en la necesidad, de jugar con otros niños.

Aumento del asma y las enfermedades respiratorias

No cabe duda de que el progreso y la industrialización han hecho que los escenarios cambien, y también (y mucho) en lo que a salud se refiere. Las enfermedades carenciales e infecto-contagiosas de años atrás han ido perdiendo relevancia y han sido sustituidas por patologías, impensables hace algunos años, como las relacionadas directamente con el entorno en el que vivimos, espacios cada vez más contaminados y tóxicos. Una vez más, los más pequeños son los más vulnerables a sus consecuencias. Aunque se diagnostiquen más tarde, muchas de las enfermedades crónicas del adulto, respiratorias y cardiovasculares, se fueron larvando, de forma subclínica, durante la infancia y adolescencia.

En todo el mundo, " más de cinco millones de niños de entre cero y 14 años, la mayoría en países en vías de desarrollo, mueren cada año por enfermedades directamente relacionadas por el entorno en el que viven. Los países occidentales tampoco están a salvo de estas consecuencias negativas. Por ejemplo, las patologías respiratorias se han duplicado.

"En España, el 10% de los niños va al colegio con un broncodilatador en la mochila junto al bocadillo, cuando hace años esta enfermedad era muy poco frecuente", señala Mellado.

Pero la contaminación del aire, del agua y del suelo no afecta sólo a las enfermedades respiratorias en los más pequeños, sino que se asocia también a patologías alérgicas, neoplásticas, neurocognitivas, de conducta, endocrinológicas y cardiovasculares. Incluso, la obesidad también se considera una enfermedad medioambiental.

Además de esto, hay que tener cuenta todas las consecuencias que el ambiente tiene sobre las mujeres embarazadas, y los futuros bebes. Tal y como señala Ortega, la polución incrementa el riesgo de prematuridad y bajo peso de forma más consciente y una de cada 10 mujeres embarazadas está expuesta al humo ambiental de cannabis de forma habitual, un neurotóxico muy potente.

Otros datos señalan también que la mitad de las embarazadas aspira humo de tabaco, cannabis o ambas sustancias y entre el 45% y el 60% consume alcohol durante la gestación, lo que puede causar enfermedades respiratorias y trastornos neurológicos y neurocognitivos, entre otros, a sus futuros hijos. "Es importante seguir tomando medidas con respecto a las restricciones de humo, tanto del tabaco como del cannabis", afirman ambos expertos.

Una 'hoja verde' en las consultas de pediatría

Por todos estos motivos, este nuevo comité ve necesario incluir una 'hoja verde' en las consultas de pediatría. Esto es, crear una historia clínica ambiental para ver cómo influyen la contaminación y otros factores en algunas enfermedades. Algo que ya se hace en Hospital Universitario Virgen de la Arrixaca de Murcia, centro donde trabaja el doctor Ortega. "Aunque los pediatras solo tengamos sólo 10 minutos para ver al niño en consulta, estos datos ofrecen una información muy valiosa sobre los riesgos del medio a los que los niños están expuestos", refiere este pediatra.

Este centro sanitario de Murcia es junto con el Hospital de Olot y la Garrotxa (Gerona), los dos únicos de España en contar actualmente, con una Unidad de Salud Medioambiental Pediátrica. Uno de los objetivos que se plantea la AEP es la creación de una unidad de este tipo en todas las comunidades autónomas -al menos una, en cada comunidad-.

"Hay que aprovechar las consultas médicas para fomentar el vínculo de las familias con la naturaleza mediante la recomendación de visitas al parque, excursiones, viajes y vacaciones con actividades al aire libre, etc. para combatir conductas tóxicas, contrarrestar los efectos negativos de la exposición a agentes nocivos difícilmente evitables y crear conciencia sobre la importancia que tiene el medio en nuestra salud. Una actuación especialmente, eficiente en niños preadolescentes y adolescentes", concluye.

Bad habits about Spanish people.

A recent study carried out it by II Observatory Nestle of Nutricional Habits and Lifestyle gives us some interesting information.

70% of Spaniards don’t make the five recommended meals at day,in addition to that the 90% don’t have breakfast, one of the most important meals.

But one positive fact is that the people in this country are very active and have a good amount of free time.

In conclusion the lack of information is the real problem for Spanish people,because they think that they take care of themself.
