Thesis

Obesity in the United States has drastically increased and needs to be stopped now by creating healthy lifestyles for the youth of our nation in order to prevent health risks for future generations.

Personal Relevance

I think that childhood obesity has gone out of hand and should be settled by explaining to children what a health lifestyle in depth is and how it can be used.

There should also be shown various activities they could use to keep them in healthy shape.

Relevance of Topic

People should care about the future of others and with out our help we will have none if obesity isn’t stopped and shown that it can greatly impact one’s health.

What an Increase!

What is “Normal”

The government issued growth charts to doctors showing what a “normal” kid for their age should weigh and how tall they are.

These numbers are based on averages of children’s weight and height around the country.

If you are over the weight the chart say you are at risk of being overweight.

Healthy Lifestyles

There are many different ways you can create a healthy

lifestyle for children that they could follow.

Good nutrition can help lower obesity and promote a healthy

lifestyle.

Exercise and fitness can be incorporated into a child’s health making the risk of

obesity low.

Be a Role Model.•Stop when you’re full.

•"This is delicious, but I'm full, so I'm going to stop eating.”

•Showing them you’re full might prevent overeating.

•Eat heart healthy meals together.

•Get rid of most or all junk food.

Plan Your Meals.

Healthy DietsThere are many ways children can avoid obesity by just eating right.

The can avoid junk food such as fast-food, fried food, pastries, and

sodas.

Family meals are better for children because they are more

open in trying new foods.

Eating more leafy greens and fruits are a good replacement

snack.

Exercise.

Join a sport.

Dance.
