Helping Your Child
According to the USDA website, today's children weigh more and have more body fat than children did 20
years ago. At least one in five is overweight. Obesity has increased by 54 percent among 6- to 11-year-olds,
contributing to the rise of Type II diabetes among children. Because obesity and its many complications place
children at risk for chronic diseases later in life, obesity prevention should begin as soon as possible. Research
has shown that if schoolchildren get a healthy start on nutrition, their cognitive and physical development will be
on course for life. And they will be at lower risk for developing heart disease, cancer and diabetes. (USDA -
Science & Education Impact, April 2002).
This book presents an easy to follow guide to healthy eating. The following pages will help you understand
how to teach your child to make healthy choices, and to avoid some of the pitfalls and temptations. He or she
will have plenty of food to eat, good food they will enjoy, while getting to a healthy weight range.
By purchasing this book you have made an important first step. The next steps are up to you, and can make all
the difference in your child’s life.
