Obesity
School impact on reducing numbers of
childhood obesity
I believe school’s can make an impact in reducing the numbers of childhood obesity
and believe prevention strategies can be put in place for this issue to be treated.
Obesity is defined
as an excess of
body fat.
Globally,
around an
estimated 170
million children
who are aged
18 years or
younger are
now estimated
to be
overweight.
Obesity is commonly known as one of the most public
health challenges of the 21st century.
There are preventative strategies
that can be put in place within
school environments, these
include:
Introducing a healthy canteen
amongst school environments
Allows for healthy eating which will:
• Improve students ability to learn in class
• Prevent chronic diseases
• Limits high fat, sugary food intake foods
• Introduce knowledge through healthy
eating and will be able to identify healthy
and unhealthy food
• Allow for children to chose healthy foods
outside of school
Implementation of water fountains in schools
Adequate hydration
Improves cognitive function
Maximizes physical
performance
Improved energy levels and
functionsPrevents and treats headaches
Weight loss
Better sleep
There are many benefits for the implementation of
water fountains, these benefits include:
If these strategies can
be introduced within a
school community, the
numbers of obese
students will be
reduced as they will
have access to healthy
foods and accessible
drinking water.
