Stop Your Family’s Obesity Cycle In Its Tracks!

How To Protect Your Child From A Lifelong Battle With Obesity…

You want to give your kids the best in life.

Instead, you watch them going through the same painful experiences you had as an overweight child. Nasty comments from other kids… low self-esteem… the inability to participate actively in sports… a sense of growing isolation…

Sound familiar?

The fact is: Parents who have battled their whole lives with weight issues are much more likely to have obese children, largely because they provide both the genes and the eating environment for their children.

And according to a number of clinical studies, 80% of overweight children remain markedly overweight when reexamined 20 to 30 years later.

Some people may look at these statistics as an indictment of bad parenting.

But clearly, parents don’t intentionally set out to compromise their children’s lives by cultivating eating bad habits. And a 2002 study of obesity proves that. The researchers found that in areas where there is a high density of obese families:

  • Urban and suburban design appears to discourage walking and other physical activities
  • Parents are under pressure to minimize food purchasing and preparation time – and costs – resulting in frequent consumption of high-calorie convenience foods
  • Access to and affordability of fruits, vegetables and other nutritious foods is reduced
  • There are decreased opportunities for physical activity during and after school and reduced walking or biking to and from school (perhaps because of unsafe neighborhoods or heavy traffic areas)
  • There is an increase in sedentary behavior, including watching TV, or playing computer and video games

And with your own life being packed to capacity with work commitments, fetching and carrying kids, birthday parties, etc., focusing on your kid’s weight problem is not always a top priority.

We need relief For Harried Parents Everywhere!

Today, you have the opportunity to stop the familial obesity cycle in its tracks.

A newly released e-book, “Chubby Is Only for Cherubs: A Smart-Eating, Smart-Living Guide for New Millennium Kids” is bringing much-needed relief to concerned parents across not only the nation, but also the world.

Jam-packed with actionable advice on combating childhood obesity, this groundbreaking e-book is revolutionizing the way parents view their child’s weight problems.

Little People With Adult Diseases

Childhood obesity has multi-fold implications, well beyond what the child looks like (and feels like on the inside):

  • Some experts believe the problem of attention deficit disorder (ADD) may not be a chemical imbalance but rather the result of too many sleep-interrupted nights caused by sleep apnea, a condition in which breathing is obstructed by fat accumulations in the upper airway and diaphragm.
  • An increase in body fat accelerates the onset of early puberty, which may well explain the rise in teenage pregnancies
  • More than 10% of American children aged 2 to 5 are already overweight and by the time these kids reach the age of 10, many of them will be considered obese with early indications of diabetes and high cholesterol.
  • A serious rise in bone and joint injuries is creating lifelong orthopedic disabilities because a child’s small growing bones are too tiny to carry the excess weight inflicted on them.
  • More and more young people who attempt suicide today are overweight.
  • Depression, menstrual irregularities and liver disease are also highly prevalent in obese children.

Tip! When packing lunch boxes, “mini” anything is fun, particularly for young children. Pack mini bagels and cheese cut into small cubes, plus a fruit cream cheese. Delicious and nutritious…

Bottom line: For the first time in two centuries, experts predict a rapid rise in childhood obesity if left unchecked, could negate all the advances in medicine and shorten life spans by as much as five years. (You could see your children die before you)...

And, parents shouldn’t underestimate the emotional trauma of overweight kids: In one study, scores returned from quality-of-life surveys completed by overweight kids were not only much lower than their normal weight counterparts, but were as low as children receiving chemotherapy for cancer!
