Yes there are more young overweight kids, 5 to 12 yrs old, now than 60 years ago.  Sad as it is, some of those overweight kids carry their weight problems all the way to their adulthood.  When I was a kid there were no McDonalds and other fast food establishments.

We walked everywhere schools, stores etc.  If you were fortunate you owned a bike and could peddle yourself all over the place. We had no computer hand held games to sit down all day and play. All kids had chores in their own house that had to be complete before going out to play.

We played rough and hard and ran most of the time.  There were about 25 kids on our block where we lived. Funny, there was only one overweight kid on our block.  He did not like playing and running and riding his bike with the other kids.  Yup he sat home eating and snacking all day. Yup he carried his weight right into adulthood and beyond.  He was a victim of lack of exercise and overeating.

Everyone, including teens and younger, needs to look at their health situation and ask do I want to remain overweight?  If you do not do anything now then you are headed toward obesity and morbidly obesity.  Your body will gradually develop diseases and you will become a causality of our modern world attitudes, processed foods, and lack of exercise.

Water:
Wonderful water.  Yes our creator gave us wonderful water to drink and nourish our body.  Water is perfect for hydrating, removing toxins and various poisons from the body.  Yes everyone needs to drink more water or freshly made juice.  The soda and soft drinks in your refrigerator are hurting your health and making the suppliers rich at your health expense.  Are these suppliers concerned with your health?  NO!  A juice blender in the home will encourage making healthful vegetable and fruit drinks for your good health. Purchase a complete case of bottled water and keep the water handy for all to take.  Take bottled water to school and work instead of sodas and soft drinks.  You will find that fresh made juice will actually decrease hunger and produces very little calories.  Avoid shake and smoothie drinks.

Processed Foods:

Nutrition:
Good nutrition always starts at home.  Buy fresh foods and meats and cook at home.  I see so many mothers take their kids to the fast food establishments and spend lots of money.  The kids get chucked full of chicken nuggets and they start putting on the pounds early in life.  Home cooking has become a forgotten pastime.  Poor overweight health and bad eating habits are rampant today. These habits are learned at home while the child is young and are carried right into adulthood.  You have to keep this in mind. Mothers need to take a good, hard and honest look at what her entire family is eating. Teens and under learn their eating habits from what they see at home. Get rid of the potato chips and provide nutritious fresh fruit and vegetables.

Exercise:
Your teens and under need to exercise.  The body needs to move and work for good health. You could go for walks with your children in the park or around where you live. Walking is the perfect health producing exercise and costs nothing. You parents can influence your children toward bike riding or learning to skateboard.  Some like to play base ball, basketball, hockey, football etc.  Do not let them experience the modern day sitting death sentence.

To your weight loss success, health, and happiness,
