Cost of Childhood Obesity

Posted on Aug 23, 2013 by Maggie LaBarbera
 

With September being National Childhood Obesity Awareness month, I thought this infographic and video had some good information.

The cost of obesity affects all of us.  Not only does it impact a person's quality of life but also contributes to disease.  Here are some facts about adult and childhood obesity.

I would like to recommend the free NAAFA Child Advocacy ToolkitSM (CATK) to assist you looking at programs. The total health of our nation's children is a serious responsibility. The NAAFA Child Advocacy Toolkit shows how Health At Every Size® takes the focus off weight and directs it to healthful eating and enjoyable movement. It addresses bullying, building positive self-image and eliminating stigmatization of large children. Additionally, the CATK lists resources available to parents and educators or caregivers for educational materials, curriculum and programming that is beneficial for all children. It can be found at: http://tinyurl.com/7ma5bml
