Nutrition experts in Turkey are emphasizing the importance of sustainable eating habits over restrictive or idealized dietary practices. Initially, Hülya Yiğit İspiroğlu from Üsküdar University NPİSTANBUL Hospital warned against single-type and short-term diets, noting that rapid weight loss often stems from water and glycogen reduction rather than fat loss. She cautioned against ‘detox’ programs, stating that the body’s liver, kidneys, and intestines already perform detoxification functions. Subsequently, pediatric gastroenterology and nutrition specialist Doç. Dr. Hasret Ayyıldız Civan addressed child nutrition, advising parents to prioritize regular, nutritious eating patterns over the ‘perfection’ often showcased on social media. She recommended practical food combinations for school lunches and suggested a ‘familiar food plus new food’ strategy to introduce new ingredients to children. As the school year begins, medical specialists have expanded their guidance to include broader pediatric wellness. Beyond nutrition, experts recommend general health check-ups, specifically vision and hearing screenings, to support academic success. Regarding sleep hygiene, specialists warn that screen use before bedtime can disrupt melatonin production. They recommend establishing gradual routines, such as reading or bathing, and avoiding digital content at least one hour before sleep to prevent daytime drowsiness.
