Embrace my curves or diet? We are in such a hopeless mess about health, diet and exercise 🔵 ipaperviews
Our tendency to obsess over diets and exercise can lead to passing on disordered ideas about food to our children Fiona Bruce said that she only started exercising after having her son, 21 years ago, because her GP was “so appalled” that she never so much as broke into a jog. “I was mortified because she was so appalled,” says Bruce. “So I decided to do something.”
Just look at the language Bruce uses about the event, at the words “mortified” and “appalled”. It’s only exercise, but Bruce clearly still feels the impact of that judgement from the doctor; she can still recall the shame. The arena of “healthy living” has never felt more disordered and chaotic at the same time as being more slathered than ever with information, studies and facts about health and nutrition.

The Impact of Household Chaos and Dietary Intake on Executive Function in Young ChildrenChildren’s executive functions (EFs) emerge over time and can be shaped by household environments and dietary intake. However, there is a lack of knowledge about how these factors influence EFs in children aged 18–24 months. This study tested a model exploring the relations between parent-reported dietary intake, household chaos, and child EF. The sample consisted of 294 families participating in the STRONG Kids2 birth cohort study of nutrition and child health. Caregivers completed the Food Frequency Questionnaire (FFQ), the Confusion, Hubbub, and Order Scale (CHAOS), and the Behavior Rating Inventory of Executive Function®-Preschool Version (BRIEF-P) to assess model variables. Regression analyses revealed a significant and independent association between assorted snacks and processed foods and two EF subscales. There were also significant associations between household chaos and each EF subscale. There was no significant moderation effect. These findings suggest that family households characterized by dysregulation are associated with children’s EF difficulties during early childhood and that the role of unhealthy dietary intake in child EF should be explored further. Future longitudinal studies that include multi-method approaches are needed to document the mechanisms through which household chaos impacts child EF over time.
