Your child or teenager is overweight and you don't know what to do. You talk with your pediatrician or adolescent physician and are told to monitor what your child is eating. The question is HOW? You work all day, time is at a premium, convenience foods, carry-out and fast -prep foods just fit into your busy lifestyle. How do you encourage your child to become healthy? How do you as a parent encourage good eating habits, regular physical activity, less consumption of junk food, soda, and candy. Take control! TO HEALTHY CHILDREN is your solution--providing your family with specific tools with which to implement elements of healthy living and being successful. Diets do not work and are never discussed as an option at TO HEALTHY CHILDREN. Obesity is a family affair so that every member of the family must be committed to living healthy. This is not just about the overweight/obese child or teenager in your family. With ongoing supportive phone calls , webinars, newsletters and monthly contests TO HEALTHY CHILDREN provides you and your family members solutions so that everyone is successful in becoming healthy and making it a lifestyle.  |
TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE 17% of children are overweight/obese Children and teenagers are spending more time sitting in front of computers and watching television Over the past 20+ years food portions have grown: Journal of Public Healthy Policy, 2007, noted that in 1955 the original size of a McDonald's hamburger was 1.6 ounces, today McDonald's hamburger is 8 ounces! Original Coke was 8 ounces and 97 calories as compared to the average size of 20 ounces today at 242 calories The bagel has grown 2-3" in diameter and increased from 140-350 calories Dinner plates have increased in size from 10" in diameter to 12" in diameter ******************************************************************************* Budget cuts have led to a decrease in physical education programs for students as compared to 20 years ago Children are not always walking to school--being driven either by a parent or taking the bus has decreased the amount of physical activity our children are engaged in These factors have led to the increasing rate of obesity which has meant a financial strain on our health care system. With obesity comes disease; diabetes, hypertension, high cholesterol, complications in growth and development. These illnesses follow into adulthood--so now is the time to get on the road to healthy living. ******************************************************************************* TAKE ACTION NOW AND GET YOUR FAMILY HEALTHY!!
