Elena Kushnerchuk, 5 Childrens Issues
Children in America face many issues such as hunger, malnutrition, obesity, bullying, and drug abuse. One in five children suffer from hunger in the US despite welfare programs, and child malnutrition can cause long-term health problems. Obesity is also a major problem, with 60% of children classified as obese leading to increased risks of heart disease, diabetes and other illnesses. Bullying takes both an emotional and physical toll on children causing depression, anxiety, and even suicide. Drug and alcohol use is also prevalent, with over a third of high school seniors reporting alcohol use and marijuana use increasing over time.
Healthy food for kids
Encourage healthy eating habits in kids by being a role model, cooking varied meals with options, and getting kids involved in meal preparation and grocery shopping. Make mealtimes fun family events with regular attendance and monitor eating habits. Appealing fruits and vegetables can be made more enticing for kids by sneaking veggies into other foods, keeping snacks on hand, and making visually appealing presentations of produce.
Purium Passion Presentation
This virtual healthy happy hour presentation summarizes Hiram and Liz Rios' story as transformation coaches who were introduced to Purium by Victoria Duke. It discusses problems with the current food system like high rates of disease and pollution from artificial ingredients and depleted soils. Statistics are provided on Americans' eating habits and beliefs about health. The presentation promotes Purium as the solution, describing it as providing whole, raw, living, alkalizing, concentrated, organic and vegan superfoods. It contrasts modern processed foods with a idealized vision of foods 100 years ago and says Purium's mission is to provide pure premium green food with the science of today and purity of the past.

Should Schools Ban Junk Food and Sodas?
The document discusses whether schools should ban junk food and sodas. Some argue a ban is unnecessary and an overreaction, while others feel it could help address the obesity problem among today's teenagers. Those against a ban cite reasons like junk food in moderation is okay and a ban could lead students to smuggle food. However, the author agrees schools should ban these items because unhealthy snacks and drinks are bad for students and schools should help kids become smarter and healthier, though some schools rely on vending machine money which they could replace through other fundraisers like a Turkey Trot.
Fast food
Fast food has become very convenient for today's busy society of single-family homes and non-traditional work schedules. However, fast food is highly unhealthy, increasing risks of high blood pressure, diabetes, weight gain, and other issues. Fast food advertising strongly targets children and adolescents, contributing to rising diabetes and obesity rates. While fast food is psychologically marketed as a bargain, its low nutritional value and natural flavorings have made unhealthy options cheaper than more balanced meals.

How Your Kids’ Eating Habits Can Change their Lives
Did you know the average child consumes 40 percent of his or her daily caloric intake from empty-calorie foods?
Fast food effects
Fast food consumption leads to various health issues like cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, and more. The fast food industry uses techniques like bright colors and artificial flavors to make their food more appealing and attract customers, especially children. Parents may be influenced by fast food advertisements claiming their kids' meals are healthy. In reality, eating fast food regularly can negatively impact physical health and contribute to childhood obesity.

Junk food habits
Report Dissemination on
Rationale
Urbanization and globalization has brought shift in the dietary pattern
Increased trend of western type high fat, high sugar and refined carbohydrates and low fiber diets by consuming packed foods, canned juices and soft drinks.
Non- communicable disease are “Silently” becoming a heavy burden for developing countries like Nepal.
Food intakes and Nutrition is the fore major modifiable determinant of chronic disease.
The occurrence of the Non-communicable disease can be prevented to the extent of 80 % simply by adopting good lifestyle like physical exercise, balanced diet and avoiding smoking and alcohol.
Research Objective
Primary goal of the study is to study the food habits of the children and adolescent of Kathmandu Valley.
Specific objective of the research
1. Identify the dietary pattern of the urban children and adolescent on junk foods and restaurant culture.
2. Analyze the effects of the economic and social status as well as peer pressure on food consumption pattern.
3. To indicate the possible risk factors for associated with food consumption pattern.
4. To develop a mechanism for addressing the need for more adequate food information system to maintain the food and nutritional situation of population.
Obesity
Obesity among children is a major problem in today's society. Approximately 25% of children in the US are overweight and 11% are obese. Factors like fast food consumption, lack of exercise, large portion sizes, and sugary drinks contribute to increasing obesity rates. As technology makes daily tasks easier, children are more at risk of becoming overweight without sufficient exercise. Prevention methods aim to build healthier environments for children through options like healthier vending machines and active parks. Studies show obese children are likely to be obese as adults, so lifestyle changes are important from a young age.
Healthy habits presentation 2
The document summarizes the results of a questionnaire on healthy habits that was conducted among 80 students, 80 teachers, and 80 parents in 4 countries. Key findings include:
- Most students and teachers drink 2 liters of water daily but also consume sweets daily. Many eat meals hurriedly or while distracted.
- Around half of students and teachers get insufficient sleep and spend several hours watching TV/games. Many students are inactive outside of PE class.
- Addictions like smoking and overuse of phones and computers are common issues according to responses. Most drink soft drinks daily instead of water.
Five protions of fruit a day
This slideshow is part of a series of tips for healthy eating. It is included in our Healthy School Project.
How Sweet is "Lightly Sweetened"?
The document discusses how food companies hide the true sugar content of their products from consumers. They do this through misleading labeling terms like "low sugar" and "lightly sweetened", claiming "no added sugar" for products with concentrated fruit juice, and using multiple types of sugars in small amounts to avoid listing them prominently in ingredients. There are over 60 different names for sugars on labels that don't sound like sugar. This deception can trick consumers into exceeding recommended daily sugar limits, increasing risks for health issues like obesity, diabetes and heart disease. Stakeholders like the FDA and public health agencies aim to better educate consumers and require clearer food labeling to enable more informed choices.
Re-Building The Healthy Child
The document discusses the growing problem of childhood obesity, identifying factors like increased consumption of unhealthy foods and drinks, decreased physical activity, and lack of nutrition education. It argues that strength training can be safe and beneficial for children if properly supervised. The document proposes addressing childhood obesity through educating children on healthy eating and exercise, encouraging outdoor activities and exercise programs, and parents leading by example through their own healthy behaviors and home environment.
Do smoothies aid weight loss?
Smoothies are frequently marketed as a weight loss tool.
Research suggests they may be effective for this purpose as long as they’re not causing you to exceed your daily calorie needs.
While some people find smoothies an easy way to monitor food portions and stay on top of their weight loss goals, others may not feel as full when they drink their calories rather than eating them.
Extended - Prevention of Childhood Obesity
Childhood obesity affects over 12 million children in the United States and has tripled over the past 30 years. The major contributing factors to obesity are inactivity, increased consumption of high-calorie foods, and genetics. To help prevent childhood obesity, parents should focus on improving nutrition, limiting screen time to less than 2 hours per day, and ensuring children engage in at least 1 hour of physical activity daily. Making small changes like eating more family meals, drinking less sugary beverages, and cooking healthier meals can help children maintain a healthy weight.
Help with obesity in low
This document discusses the challenges low-income families face in addressing obesity. It notes that while unhealthy foods are cheaper, healthy options like fruits and vegetables are too expensive for many low-income families. It also states that gym memberships are prohibitively expensive, costing over $50 per week. The document shares the experience of a single mother living on less than $1,000 per month who struggles to afford healthy food and activities to help her overweight child lose weight given financial constraints. It argues that low-income families need more assistance and resources to effectively address obesity issues.
Argumentative essay final draft
Schools should ban serving fast food and other unhealthy options in their cafeterias for students' health and well-being. Consuming fast food and junk food regularly can negatively impact students' health by increasing risks of diseases and obesity. It can also influence students to develop unhealthy eating habits and preferences over time if that is primarily what is available and normalized at school. While personal freedom of choice is important, schools have a responsibility to protect students and establish healthy environments and behaviors during their critical years of growth and development.
Healthy Teens Nutrition Education PowerPoint
This document provides information about puberty and nutrition for adolescents. It discusses the physical, emotional, and cognitive changes that occur during puberty, including increased height, weight gain, and sexual maturation. It also covers important nutritional needs during puberty like calcium for bone growth, iron due to blood loss, and adequate protein intake for development. The document recommends foods to meet these nutritional needs and discusses healthy eating habits and maintaining a balanced diet.
Causes Of Obesity In Children
Obesity in children is on the rise and is caused by multiple factors including unhealthy eating habits, lack of physical activity, and genetic predispositions. Children who consume lots of fast food and junk food high in sugars and fats are at risk, as are those with family histories of obesity. A sedentary lifestyle focused on video games and technology rather than exercise also contributes to weight gain. Obesity can lead to serious health issues for children like diabetes, heart disease, and breathing problems. Parents are encouraged to help kids develop healthy diets and be more physically active through activities the whole family can enjoy.
Presentation 2 joanna_dolgoff
This document discusses the rising rates of childhood obesity in the United States. It provides statistics showing obesity rates have tripled for children ages 12-19 and doubled for ages 6-11 between 1963-2004. Being overweight or obese as a child often leads to health issues like diabetes and increases the risk of becoming an obese adult. The causes of childhood obesity are discussed as unhealthy eating patterns with fast food and sugary drinks, lack of physical activity due to more screen time, and changing family dining routines. The document provides tips for parents to promote healthy eating habits and active lifestyles to help prevent and address childhood obesity.

This document discusses childhood obesity, its causes, risk factors, health effects, and treatment options. It argues that removing vending machines and snacks from schools is not a fair solution and places too much blame on schools rather than recognizing the role of parents and individual choice. The key responsibility lies with parents to educate their children about nutrition, monitor their diets and activities, and not provide money for unhealthy vending machine snacks.
Diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic disease marked by high blood sugar levels. Some diabetics use machines that prick their finger to check blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes, the most common type, has symptoms like blurred vision and increased thirst and urination. The author chose to research diabetes because their sister had a friend with diabetes as a child.
Diabetes mellitus
Diabetes is increasingly affecting children at younger ages. Many children are now diagnosed with diabetes before the age of 12. This is due to diets high in sugar from foods like fast food burgers and sweets. Diabetes results from either the body not producing enough insulin or developing a resistance to insulin, which regulates blood sugar. The main types of diabetes are type 1 which requires insulin injections and type 2 which is typically diagnosed in adults and can be managed through diet and exercise. Proper treatment involves dietary management, exercise, medication, and regular doctor visits to avoid serious health complications.
