MSN, RN (2006) Childhood Obesity: Strategies for Prevention Retrieved from http:/ovidsp.tx.ovid.com.ezproxy.apollolibrary.com This article discusses that there are children who are overweight and what should be done to help prevent it. One of the ways to help prevent childhood obesity is to change the way they participate in physical activity. It is said that those students (approximately one third) in high school do not participate in gym activities in school or extracurricular physical activites regularly. Also those who live in unsafe neighborhoods or come from homes who parents work spend more time alone and in the house so they get little or no physical activity. The lack of physical activity may put children at risk
Undigested food travels into the large intestine. Excretes non-absorbed material passed from the small intestine. Water absorption. Stores waste and house bacteria that make vitamin K. Rectum – Feces are stored in the rectum before being expelled along the anal canal. Liver – Major role in dealing with the nutrient products of food digestion.
Statistics show that a child with two obese parents has an eighty percent risk of becoming overweight, and a child with normal size parents has only a forty percent chance of becoming overweight. Another risk factor is meal patterns, shipping breakfast slows the metabolism down which slows down the process of digestion. Eating too much fast food is the highest risk to take for meal a choice. Watching television or playing video games instead of playing outside or exercising is a bad choice. Childhood obesity is often the result of genetics and environmental factors.
The introduction of contraception has led to couples having smaller families, therefore meaning that children now tend to receive more attention from their parents. Similarly, parents are also able to care for their children better due to the introduction of the welfare state and child benefits. Climbie’s case and ‘Every Child Matters’ has led to the improvement of social services and child protection, meaning childhood is much safer now than it was 50 years ago. Children are also in better health due to the NHS, meaning more children survive childhood now than ever before. All children can now receive state education up until the age of 18, meaning they are better educated and can achieve much higher in adulthood, whilst experiencing a longer period of youth.
They have begun to make small improvements, reducing their sugar levels by a percentage at best. Companies that market to children fear any recommendation coming form the Federal Trade Commission because even though the Federal Trade Commission is not a law enacting body, the adverse effects of not adhering to recommendations they make is strongly discouraged. According to General Mills’ website, the since 2007 until 2011 the company had their cereals sugar content from 13% to 10% depending on the cereal, a drop of two to three percentage points. This is interesting because the recommended serving size for their nutritional label is 3/4 cup, which is not a lot of cereal when measured. Kids consume one to two cups or more which double the content of sugar consumption.
It is sweeter and cheaper than regular sugar and is in every processed food and sugar-sweetened drink. Purging it from your diet is the single best thing you can do for your health! In recent history, we've gone from 20 teaspoons of sugar per person per year to about 150 pounds of sugar per person per year. That's a half pound a day for every man, woman,
Obesity itself cannot solely be blamed on the high consumption of soda or sugary-drinks, but there is a strong correlation between the two. Boston Children’s Hospital preformed a study with 224 overweight, or obese, high school students. Half of the recipients received free home deliveries of zero-calorie drinks along with water; others received a fifty dollar gift card. According to this study, “after one year, the gift card recipients had gained more weight than those who got the calorie-free drinks” (“Getting Fat on Sugary-Drinks” 8). The evidence provided in this study concludes that soda can be a leading factor in obesity rates, and that water or lower-calorie drinks can help prevent obesity.
Placing this amount into context, a typical loading dose is usually 10-times one's daily creatine turnover rate, or 20 grams for an average sized male. According to Dr. Benzi's recommendation therefore, creatine users employing a loading phase should require a doctor's approval. Something to think about... Creatine: A practical guide provides a safe and effective no-loading routine for those seeking a more conservative approach to creatine supplementation. Ironically, the controversy surrounding creatine supplementation often overshadows some of the lesser known, but equally important, benefits of creatine. New information is appearing each day clearly demonstrating that the benefits of creatine supplementation extend far beyond the athletic arena.

Approximately 40 % of children born after 2000 will have these problems due to their unhealthy lifestyles. Schools have also cut down on the amount of physical education taught in schools; because of this many students are living a more sedentary lifestyle which only increases their chances of becoming obese. If we can mandate 5 healthy meals a day along with at least an hour of vigorous activity each day then maybe we can reduce the numbers. My goal for, Mandatory fitness and Nutrition in schools throughout West Virginia, is to decreases the in evidence of childhood obesity through a planned nutritional and physical activity program.
