Description
An ounce of action is worth a ton of theory, but according to the US Center for Disease Control and Prevention, more and more teenagers and young adults are becoming overweight and the numbers are increasing rapidly. In fact, they are part of an "epidemic of overweight and obesity" that must be addressed. Overweight in teenagers is generally caused by lack of physical activity, unhealthy eating patterns or a combination of the two, with genetics and lifestyle both playing important roles in determining their weight... Our society has become very sedentary... Television, computers and video games all contribute to inactive lifestyles. In fact, did you know that 43% of adolescents watch more than 2 hours of television each day?... And when they get on the Internet, do you know how many hours they sit in front of their monitor? That痴 why we believe the Internet represents an important medium to get the word out and educate in a nice, effective way. We believe it's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice, because the meaning of life, is to give life meaning ・Nearly half of American youths aged 12-21 years are not vigorously active on a regular basis. Inactivity is more common among females (14%) than males (7%) and among black females (21%) than white females (12%)・Did you know that only 19% of all high school students are physically active for 20 minutes or more, five days a week? Plus teenagers are eating more and more junk food・and not getting enough of the nutrients their body needs... Why? Because fast food combines two of our favorite desires: things in a hurry and food! Plus it tastes good too. Risk factors for heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some forms of cancer plus high cholesterol and high blood pressure, all occur with increased frequency in overweight teenagers compared to their peers with healthy weight... And guess what?・this increases to 80% if one or more parent is overweight or obese!・ So let's get to work on it. Delegating work works, provided the one delegating works, too. We believe not telling them how to do things. We believe in telling them what to do and they will surprise us with their ingenuity... Overweight teenagers have a 70% chance of becoming overweight or obese adults and the most immediate consequence of overweight is social discrimination which is associated with poor self-esteem and depression.
