Why be concerned? 

  • Since 1980, childhood overweight & obesity has doubled among children 5-12 and tripled among teens.
  • Today, 1 in 3 children are overweight

  • Excess weight in both children & adults contributes to:

          - high blood pressure
          - type II diabetes
          - high cholesterol
          - breathing difficulties

Helping children develop healthy eating & activity habits is vital to their health as adults.
