The document discusses the obesity epidemic and its health consequences, especially for children. It notes that obesity rates have risen sharply in recent decades due to changes in diet, physical activity, and food environment. As a result, this generation of children may be the first to have shorter lifespans than their parents. However, the document provides hope by stating that small lifestyle changes can make a big difference in health outcomes and reversing the crisis. It encourages starting an "LHT Revolution" through choosing water over soda, eating fruits instead of chips, and supporting others who are making positive changes.
This document discusses why people eat and the factors that influence eating habits. It explains that eating provides nutrients for the body to function properly. While hunger is a physical need for food, appetite is a psychological desire driven by emotions, environment, and upbringing. The document outlines that culture, family, advertising, and lifestyle shape food choices and notes children see thousands of food ads by age 21, most for unhealthy options. Finally, it stresses the importance of nutrition throughout life and asks students to analyze influences on their own eating habits.

The document discusses childhood obesity in the United States. It provides an overview of factors that have contributed to rising obesity rates such as unhealthy school lunches and excessive snacking. The author argues that promoting healthy lifestyles for children through good nutrition, exercise, and limiting junk food is needed to address the obesity epidemic and prevent health risks. Statistics are presented showing the increased prevalence of obesity and related health conditions among youth in recent decades.
This document summarizes the results of a survey conducted by the Cystic Fibrosis Trust regarding nutrition and dietetic support for those with cystic fibrosis in the UK. The survey found that 31% of parents and 40% of adults reported having problems maintaining or gaining weight. Additionally, over half of respondents reported issues with digestion such as stomach pains, abnormal stools, and problems managing enzymes. While some centers provided good dietetic support, many respondents felt there was inadequate support, which could be exacerbating nutritional problems for those with cystic fibrosis.
Over 33% of adults and 17% of children in the US are obese. Obesity rates continue to grow, with over 1 million obese children currently in Georgia alone. Obesity is defined as having a BMI over 30 and brings increased risks of health problems. It causes diseases like heart disease, diabetes and cancer. The obesity epidemic costs hundreds of billions in healthcare annually and reduces economic productivity. Environmental factors like lack of exercise opportunities, income levels influencing food choices, and genetics all contribute to the rise in obesity rates. Solutions include increasing physical education, making healthy food more affordable, and removing junk food from schools.

The document discusses the childhood obesity epidemic in the United States. It notes that over the past 30 years, childhood obesity rates have doubled and tripled, with over 1/3 of children and adolescents being overweight or obese as of 2010. The primary cause identified is parents, as children typically share their parents' eating habits and foods consumed. To solve the epidemic, the document argues that parents must change their own dietary habits and receive better education on proper nutrition, as they directly influence their children's health.
Introduction
Thanksgiving will be here in just a few weeks (or you could say the holiday season depending on when the class is taught) and we’ll soon be spending time with our families and enjoying – or in some cases preparing – a feast of mashed potatoes and gravy, buttery rolls, a golden-brown turkey, and let’s not forget the pumpkin pies! Not to mention the holiday shopping and yummy treats from neighbors and friends. It’s the time of year when we think about the things we are grateful for.
Tell about one of your own Thanksgiving Day traditions. Use visual aids such as a pie dish, china plate, silverware, pumpkin, etc to help generate ideas. Then ask the class…
What are some of your family traditions at Thanksgiving? What memories do you have as a child or even with your own children or grandchildren at this time of year?
We each have wonderful traditions but did you know that learning about your family health history could be the most important tradition you make this Thanksgiving?
Childhood obesity is discussed in two parts: poor nutrition and inactive lifestyle. Part 1 explains that energy-dense foods high in fat and sugar but low in nutrients make up a major part of daily routines. The CDC recommends focusing on healthy foods in moderation and portion control. Part 2 discusses how technology increases sedentary time and the invention of cars led to fast food. Inactivity is a leading cause of heart disease. The article recommends limiting screen time, promoting outdoor activities, and parents being role models for physical activity.
This document discusses childhood obesity in New Jersey. It begins by defining childhood obesity and outlining national statistics on prevalence, causes, and effects. It then provides statistics specific to New Jersey, showing higher rates of obesity in low-income areas. The document discusses national initiatives like Let's Move and the Healthy Hunger-Free Kids Act, as well as New Jersey's Partnership for Healthy Kids program. It provides examples of initiatives in New Jersey cities like Camden that aim to increase access to healthy foods and physical activity opportunities to help reduce childhood obesity rates.
This document discusses nutrition and factors that influence food choices. It defines nutrients as substances in food that the body needs to function properly, and distinguishes between hunger, which is a physical need for food, and appetite, which is a learned desire to eat. Culture, family and friends, media messages, and lifestyle can shape appetite. Proper nutrition throughout life requires distinguishing between hunger and appetite and eating a variety of nutrients to support growth, development, and health. Many factors influence the food choices people make.
This document discusses the importance of eating nutritious foods. It outlines the physical and mental benefits of eating foods with vitamins, minerals and few calories, including better physical health, weight control, alertness and memory. It also notes some health problems linked to poor diets like high blood pressure and breathing difficulties. Statistics are provided on obesity rates in children and adolescents and on Americans' diets not meeting recommendations. The conclusion emphasizes that a healthy diet from all food groups combined with exercise leads to an overall healthy lifestyle and reduces health issues.
Obesity is a leading preventable cause of death worldwide, with rising rates in both adults and children. It is defined as excess body fat that negatively impacts health, and can lead to reduced life expectancy or increased health issues. Common causes include poor diet, inactivity, genetics, and health/medication factors. Health risks include diabetes, cancer, heart disease, respiratory issues, and more. Statistics show obesity is a serious problem, with over 1/3 of children worldwide either overweight or obese. Michelle Obama has spearheaded campaigns like "Let's Move" to promote healthy eating and exercise for families and children to help address this epidemic.
Part of a 12 part series of courses at AllCEUs.com resulting in the receipt of a certificate in eating disorders counseling. Addresses bulimia, binge eating, anorexia, obesity. Uses The Body Betrayed by Zerbe and Brief Therapy with Eating Disorders by McDonald in addition to Dr. Snipes clinical experiences.
The document discusses teenage obesity, defining obesity as having excess body fat compared to being simply overweight. It explains that body mass index (BMI) is used to determine if a person is obese by calculating their weight in kilograms divided by height in meters. Main causes of obesity are overeating unhealthy foods like fast food and lack of physical activity due to excessive screen time. Health risks of obesity include diabetes, certain cancers, and $177 billion spent annually treating obesity and its side effects. Prevention recommendations include 60 minutes of daily physical activity, avoiding fatty foods, and developing a healthy mindset without being too hard on oneself.
Childhood obesity is a serious problem in the United States due to fast food and unhealthy diets. Being obese can lead to health issues like high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer. The government should pass laws to limit candy and unhealthy foods for kids and require daily exercise in schools to help decrease childhood obesity rates and encourage healthier lifestyles.
1) Childhood obesity is an increasing problem in New Zealand society, affecting 31% of children aged 5-14.
2) The document aims to promote physical activity and healthy eating choices to help stop childhood obesity, particularly through initiatives at Kaurilands Primary school.
3) Childhood obesity rates vary between cultures and are more prevalent among Māori and Pacific Islander children.
School Child and Adolescent Nutrition- Investing for a Healthier TomorrowShubhada Kanani
In this presentation, I highlight major areas of nutrition and allied interventions for school child-young adolescents, which was made for field workers' capacity building training at CHETNA, Ahmedabad in early 2018
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.
The document discusses childhood obesity. It defines childhood obesity and lists its main causes as sedentary lifestyles and unhealthy eating habits. It notes that childhood obesity can lead to various health complications. It also examines statistics on childhood obesity rates among minority groups and income brackets, finding higher rates for low-income and some minority children. The document outlines stakeholders in addressing childhood obesity and strategies like lifestyle changes, nutrition education, and physical activity promotion.
This document discusses childhood obesity rates in Canada. It notes that obesity rates have increased over decades as priorities for physical activity and healthy eating have decreased due to factors like increased commercialism targeting children. Other contributing factors discussed include breastfeeding rates, family influences, and the physical and mental impacts of obesity. The document then provides examples of how early childhood educators can help address childhood obesity through nutrition education, active play opportunities, role modeling, and family involvement. Stakeholders who could help include physical education teachers and organizations providing extracurricular programs.
This document discusses prevention of eating addictions. It begins by establishing links between eating and the brain's reward system, and discusses common eating disorders like anorexia and bulimia. Prevention programs should aim to educate the public on signs and risks while also addressing cultural issues and low self-esteem. Effective prevention addresses societal pressures around thinness and gender roles while building self-esteem. Primary prevention targets youth through educating teachers and using books to promote healthy attitudes. Relapse prevention involves follow-up care and helping those recovering identify personal triggers.
Childhood obesity is defined as a BMI at or above the 95th percentile. Rates of childhood obesity have risen dramatically since the 1970s, with over 12 million children now considered obese. Potential causes include increased availability of unhealthy foods, large portion sizes, lack of physical activity, and excessive screen time. Consequences range from physical health issues to psychological effects. Prevention requires making healthy choices more available and accessible to children.
The document discusses the 8 primary causes of cravings: 1) lack of water or excess water intake can cause cravings; 2) lack of satisfying relationships, activities, or spiritual practice can lead to emotional eating; 3) imbalanced intake of yin and yang foods disrupts balance and causes cravings; 4) cravings may relate to foods from one's past or ancestry; 5) seasonal cravings balance the elements of each season; 6) nutrient deficiencies produce odd cravings; 7) hormonal changes during menstruation, pregnancy, or menopause cause unique cravings; 8) periods of success can cause self-sabotaging cravings that disrupt balance.

Message to our teens - Will You Live As Long As Your Parents?
1. W ILL Y OU L IVE A S
L ONG A S Y OUR
P ARENTS?
Let’s Find Out
2. I’ LL ANSWER THIS
QUESTION AND MORE
BUT
Before we start, let me be very
clear.
I DON’T CARE WHAT YOU LOOK LIKE
OK?
This is NOT about cosmetics, truly
if that’s ALL we had to worry
about I wouldn’t even be here.
3. N O MIRROR HERE OK ?
I am here because it’s VITALLY
important that you get the same
information we are hearing
EVERYDAY on the news that you
may not have seen.
Period.
I am here because you all deserve
to live LONG healthy lives.
4. I S OBESITY AN EPIDEMIC ?
Or maybe even a pandemic?
Let’s look at the definition of both
these words.
An epidemic is when the number of
people who become effected by a
disease rises well beyond what is
expected within a country or a part of
a country. When the disease takes
place in several countries at the same
time it then starts turning into a
pandemic.
5. S O , WHICH ONE IS IT ?
Well….because obesity is now
the number one health
concern in countries around
the world, unfortunately
we’re at pandemic
proportions.
6. A ND , TO ANSWER THE QUESTION
ASKED AT THE BEGINNING …
The New England Journal of
Medicine says,
(one of the most respected medical publications)
“the prevalence and severity of obesity is so great,
especially in children, that the associated diseases
and complications - Type 2 diabetes, heart disease,
kidney failure, cancer - are likely to strike people at
younger and younger ages.”
AND
“Obesity is such that this generation of children
could be the first basically in the history of the
United States to live less healthful and shorter lives
than their parents"
7. O H N O , S AY I T I SN ’ T S O !
OK, I Won’t.
It Doesn’t Have To Be That
Way!
And you have the power to
change these ugly predictions
and start a revolution!
An LHT Revolution!!!
8. O BESITY VS . O VERWEIGHT
They’re both just words first of
all, but let’s look at some official
definitions.
Overweight and obesity are both labels for ranges
of weight that are greater than what is generally
considered healthy for a given height. The terms
also identify ranges of weight that have been
shown to increase the likelihood of certain
diseases and other health problems.
10. B UT 1 ST THINGS 1 ST ,
W HY I S T HIS H APPENING ?
There are several factors that play a role, but some of
the most common are;
Environment
Genetics
Physical Activity
Behavior
Culture
11. LET’S D IG A L ITTLE
D EEPER …. SHALL WE ?
Not enough Physical Activity
Too much time on computer and TV
Horrible (Fast Food) Choices
Emotional Eating
Poor Economics
The food industry pushing junk both
at home and at school
12. G IVE M E S OME F EEDBACK –
P LEASE !
With all of the reasons just listed
why we’re at crisis point for
overweight teens, which ones do
you think are the most likely
culprits?
13. I’ LL T ELL Y OU T HIS ….
Although genetics and some of the other
reasons listed do play a role in being
overweight, for the percentage that obesity
has increased there is no way most of the
factors previously listed could cause such a
sharp and scary rise.
The 3 things that have changed
the most are:
the kind of food we’re eating
the amount of food we’re eating
the amount of physical activity
we engage in
14. F AST P ROCESSED F OOD FOR
C HEAP ??
What’s The Real
Cost?
15. W ELL IT ’ S PRETTY
FREAKIN ’ EXPENSIVE
The US has the highest rate of
overweight people in the world!
If the overweight trend continues to
rise at the present rate, in less than
ten years, 65% of Americans will be
obese.
Overweight people suffer from
poorer health during their life and
are likely to die ten years younger
than a healthy-weight person.
16. A ND WE ’ RE PAYING UP !
80% of type 2 diabetes is
related to being overweight.
18. I THINK THIS SAYS IT
ALL ….
1 in 3 Children Born
in the year 2000 will have
some form of Diabetes in
their Lifetime!
19. A ND IT GOES ON …
Highblood pressure and high
cholesterol, which are risk
factors for cardiovascular
disease (CVD). In one
study, 70% of obese children
had at least one CVD risk
factor, and 39% had two or
more.
21. A ND ON ………
Breathing problems, such as sleep
apnea, and asthma.
Joint problems and
musculoskeletal discomfort.
Fatty liver
disease, gallstones, and gastro-
esophageal reflux
If children are
overweight, obesity in adulthood
is likely to be more severe
23. …I S IT ?....
Nearly one in three (23 million)
American children are overweight.
Most overweight children (over 80%)
will also be overweight as adults.
24. O H NO WE ’ RE NOT !!!
Sorry guys, if the story I’ve told
seems a little depressing
here’s the GOOD NEWS!
It’s NOT hard to make a few
simple changes that make a
BIG difference!
25. R EADY F OR A R EVOLUTION ?!
Every one that’s here today
can participate in making your
life LHT, that’s Leaner
Healthier Teens – even if your
not concerned about the teen
overweight crisis, I bet there
are a few things you learned
today that may make you want
to make a change?!?
26. G OOD L ET ’ S S TART O NE !
I’d like to ask each and every person here
to do something very important, to
help your friends, classmates, school
and community by championing small
positive changes. Do you care about
the people around you NOT getting
type 2 diabetes, CDV or many of the
other diseases associated with being
overweight? Then support each other
with things like choosing a water
instead of soda, maybe eating an apple
instead of a bag of chips – AND for
those making positive changes, support
them because they really are those
brave enough to make the change.
27. W ANT T O L EARN M ORE ?
