Do You Know Anyone Who Is Overweight?

According to the CDC the obesity rates continue to rise. Obesity does not discriminate and it’s a problem for men, women, and children. Health professionals know that obesity has causes many children to face health problems, such as diabetes, at an earlier age.

We believe that everyone needs to get involved from your family to schools to the community to policy makers. For example, parents can limit unhealthy snack foods and act as good role models.  You may have noticed that many schools are now serving more fruits and vegetables for lunches.  Another positive stop is that many communities are sprucing up their parks to encourage more physical activity by people of all ages and sizes to promote healthy eating and active living.

Get out today and become more active to help reduce the rates of obesity.
