“The responsibility of parents for the health of their children is extremely important”
The sanitary doctor of the disease prevention department and state sanitary-epidemiological supervision, Maria Kushubakova, expressed her opinion on “Birinchi Radio” that schoolchildren should not observe fasting.
According to her, a growing body requires a full diet that includes trace elements, vitamins, proteins, fats, and carbohydrates. “With high energy expenditures, it is important to provide a sufficient amount of nutrients. Therefore, parents should not force their children to observe fasting. A responsible approach to children's health is extremely important. Schoolchildren often are not able to consciously make decisions related to the choice of religious practices and the formation of their own opinions. This comes with age and life experience. We, as healthcare workers, strongly oppose this,” she noted.
