About one in three American children is either overweight or obese.
Childhood obesity is a crisis robbing youth of health and energy,
and even causing children to die prematurely. Obesity among
children, which is likely to carry over to adulthood, is also
linked to a greater risk of high cholesterol, diabetes, early heart
disease, and high blood pressure.
"New Prescription for Childhood Obesity" provides an innovative
approach to fighting childhood obesity. The traditional method for
weight loss and fat reduction has been to eat less and exercise
more, but this does not work over the long haul. To lose weight and
keep it off requires addressing the root cause of the problem:
insulin resistance and the low-grade silent inflammation that is
triggered by many factors, including foods and environmental causes
such as pesticides, industrial pollutants, and toxins.
Now parents have an opportunity to change their child's eating
and physical activity habits even before a weight problem develops.
Complete with recipes to get you on the right track, this essential
guide provides specific and simple strategies, techniques, and
skills that will enable children to eat the right amount of food
appropriate for their level of physical activity without
dieting.
