Hello Nancy,
Childhood obesity is rapidly growing out of proportion; an alarming 15.5 percent of adolescents (ages 12 to 19) and 15.3 percent of children (ages 6 to 11) are obese. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, America is facing an unprecedented epidemic.
Obesity can lead to chronic health problems including diabetes, hypertension and atherosclerosis. Growth problems in the hips and legs are also more prevalent in overweight children.
Experts are emphasizing that obesity is not a disease but a condition that people bring about themselves. It can be prevented but the fight against fat is won or lost by parents not councilors or fat camps, and parents may not be doing all they can to help their children maintain a healthy weight.
Many studies have shown that there is not a big difference in the amount of food
eaten and physical activity between obese and non-obese kids. Probably small differences in eating and activity over time really add up and lead to weight gain.
So how can parents help? The best way to prevent obesity is prevention. There are a number of ways to encourage children to maintain a healthy weight. For those parents whose children already have weight problems, all is not lost, weight gain can be prevented before it becomes life threatening.
The complete article explains how parents can tell if their child is obese, what they can do to help their children prevent or reverse obesity, including the latest tools, and advice from experts in the field.
The experts I have interviewed include: Susan L. Johnson
Ph.D., expert on childhood obesity, University of Colorado; David Ludwig, MD, PhD., and Alison Field, Sc.D., researchers in childhood obesity, Children’s Hospital, Boston; Mary Story Ph.D., University of Minnesota, Director of Healthy Eating Research, a new national program designed to combat childhood obesity.
I am experienced researcher, writer and editor. I specialize in health and fitness. I have had articles published in Canada, USA, UK and UAE and in a diverse range of health fields including, eating disorders, cancer, sports injuries and mental health issues.
