Weight loss programs

Trying to argue that the youth of today are far larger than ever is a losing argument, so we won’t even try. That said, I am sure you’re more than aware of the fact that one of the main targets of blame in this obesity battle is schools, and the lunches they serve. The question is, ARE they to blame? New studies say no.

That’s right, new studies are showing that when 5000 children were tracked, “the biggest gains in body mass index occurred in the summer when parents had sole responsibility for their children’s diets and exercise opportunities.” So, are you going to let this summer be the same as all the rest while you watch your kid fall deeper into the obesity trap, OR, are you going to use this summer as a fresh start to really get things off on the right foot? That’s what I think you should do, and the article I just read wholeheartedly agrees. The beauty of this summer is, you can teach your kids habits that by the time Fall arrives, really will be habits. That way, during the school year they can begin to truly take care of themselves and get into positive, healthy routines.
