The most common diet in adolescents

Teoretična izhodišča: V današnjem svetu je velik problem med mladostniki prekomerna telesna teža, ki nastane predvsem zaradi nezdravega prehranjevanja, nezadostne telesne aktivnosti, kajenja, alkohola, oziroma na kratko, nastane zaradi nezdravega življenjskega sloga posameznika. Zdrav življenjski slog se v današnjem času, ko ljudje nimajo več časa za telesno aktivnost in zdravo prehrano zanemarja. Zaradi nezadovoljstva z zunanjim izgledom se mladostniki zelo zgodaj pričnejo odločati za uživanja shujševalnih diet, da povečajo svojo telesno podobo. Raziskovalna metodologija: Raziskava je temeljila na kvantitativni metodologiji. Namen raziskave je bil opisati najpogostejše diete pri mladostnikih in z raziskavo ugotoviti ali so mladostniki seznanjeni o pomenu diet in ali so se kadarkoli odločali za uživanje diet. Podatke za raziskavo smo pridobili iz anket, kjer smo anketirali 50 dijakov Srednje zdravstvene šole v Slovenj Gradcu. Anketa je vsebovala 10 vprašanj odprtega in zaprtega tipa. Podatke smo statistično obdelali ter rezultate ponazorili v obliki grafikonov. Rezultati: Raziskava je pokazala, da se mladostniki začnejo zgodaj odločati za uživanja shujševalnih diet, vzrok za nezadovoljstvo je zmanjšana telesna samopodoba. Nekateri izmed anketiranih dijakov so mnenja, da jim je učinek diete pripomogel k izboljšanju samopodobe. Sklep: Ugotavljamo, da se mladostniki zgodaj pričnejo odločati za uživanje diete. Glede na rezultate anket smo prišli do ugotovitve, da so vzroki uživanja diet predvsem hrepenenje po boljšemu zunanjemu izgledu, lepši postavi ter sramovanja zaradi prekomerne telesne teže. Za vso to nezadovoljstvo med mladimi pa je vzrok nezdrav življenjski slog, ki se širi kot epidemija in veliko mladih, tej epidemiji tudi podleže. Pomembno je, da izkoreninimo vzorce tveganega vedenja in poučimo mlade o tem, kako zdrav življenjski slog vpliva na naše življenje.Theoretical background: A big problem in today\u27s world among adolescents is overweight, primarily caused by an unhealthy diet, insufficient physical activity, smoking, alcohol, or in short, caused by an unhealthy lifestyle of the individual. A healthy lifestyle is nowadays, when people don’t have much time for physical activity and healthy eating, neglected. Because of dissatisfaction with the external appearance decide young people very earl for dieting to enhance their physical appearance. Research Methodology: The study was based on a quantitative methodology. The purpose of the study was to describe the most common diet which is used by adolescents and to determine whether the young are aware of the importance of diet and whether they ever decide to take diets. Data for the study were obtained from surveys in which we interviewed 50 students in secondary medical schools Slovenj Gradec. The survey contained 10 questions open and closed type. The data were statistically processed and the results illustrated in the form of charts. Results: The study showed that adolescents begin very early to use diets, the cause of dissatisfaction is reduced physical self-esteem. Some of the surveyed students believe that the effect of diet will lead to improved self-image. Conclusion: We find that adolescents begin very early to decide for diets. Given the results of surveys we have come to the conclusion that taking diet causes primarily a desire for improving the external appearance, beautiful body shape, and shame for being overweight. The cause for all this disaffection among young people is an unhealthy lifestyle that is spreading like an epidemic and many young people also succumb to this epidemic. It is important to eradicate patterns of risk behavior and educate young people how a healthy lifestyle affects our lives
