Kids Obesity back in the News

why is it that now in Australia and around the developed world are we hearing more and more about the fact that a significant portion of this generation of kids may well be outlived by their parents due to obesity related illnesses. How can this be happening and what can be done to reverse the trend ?

There is no one answer to this problem as it requires a multi-layered approach, more layers and more detail than can be offered in this post.

But I do offer you all one thing, one important fact if there is a child in your life (or an adult) for that matter that you truly want to see lead a healthy and active life free of obesity related problems. Lead by example, you need to take care of yourself and show people close to you that it is important; exercise regularly, eat in a healthy manner, have fun. Be a hero in your own life to help others be a hero in theirs.

You have a choice in your life to be the healthiest you can be or just let your one and only body slowly detiorarate and wither, just like you have a choice whether to lead by example & inspire others to make the same choice or constantly preach and be acouch potato expert.

What will you choose?

Stay Strong, Be Unstoppable!
