Obesity is taking control of our children in this country. Weight gain are skyrocketing among our children, this is a dangerous havit, that really need to be looked at and taking seriously by the parents. Parents it's time to step to the plate and say no to some of the things we let our children put in their bodies, however saying yes to what they shouldn't be eating is nothing but a slow death.
During my research i came accross some startling numbers that really need to be addressed by out partents. Researcher Penny Gordon Larson associate progessor of nutrition at the university of North Carolina at chopel Hill say about half of these teen girls and a third of boys become severley ovese by the time they are 30 meaning they are 80 to 100 pounds over healthy weight other studies have found that heavey children are more likely to be heavy adults.
Researchers reviewed national height and weight records of almost 9,000 people ages 12 to 21 who weere followed for 13 years. Among the finding in todays journal if the Americam Medical Association: 51% of abese ten girls and 37% of obese teen boys became severley obese by age 30. A third of us kids and teens are overwight; two third of adults are overwieght or obese-ex-tra pounds but people at increased risk of type 2 diabetes, high blood presssure, high cholestoral, asthama, joint problems, heart and poor healt status.
This is not what we want fsor our children. They look to us for help when neededc and this is the time to save our children for this obesity problem and what comes with it.
