Comment on Childhood Obesity: Gut Check Time for America by Treena Wynes

The majority of health concerns can be connected to lifestyle and behaviors. Efforts such as promoting nutrition and exercise have not been successful in reducing obesity rates as our culture and TV marketting promotes indulgence and immediate gratification. Those that seek quick fixes do not alter their lifestyle, therefore do not sustain any progress made. As our behaviors are influenced by culture and environment, having a supportive family environment that emphasizes and participates in healthy lifestyle choices and activities will be the main contributing factor to raising healthy children. Technology is also advancing every day taking precious minutes from physical activity and fresh air from us. However, as parents we need to be diligent and committed to the health of our children by ensuring they get an appropriate amount of physical activity. As a mother of teen boys, I understand the resistance that is displayed to kicking them outside but my responsibility of their well-being far exceeds the battle. I am 40 years old and I still throw a football around with my boys.

I am thinking we “Moms” need to get our kids engaged with a love of movement; play with them, enroll them in sports activities at school and in our communities, walk, run, skip, play tag, walk the dog, hopscotch with them. We have the power to turn the childhood obesity epidemic around… one family at a time. Also, snacks should be enjoyed together, AFTER the physical activities!
