Did you know that your child could face serious health risks, such as: Elevated Cholesterol, Breathing Problems Overexerted Heart Muscle, Causing a Higher Risk of Heart Disease or Heart Attack, Diabetes, Sleep Apnea (Stopping Breathing While Asleep),Weaker Bones and Muscle Problems It’s imperative that you help your child maintain an appropriate weight for his or her height and age. Help Your Child Lose Extra Pounds and Maintain a Healthy, Appropriate Weight – Without Any Suffering at All! Unfortunately, parents are victims. We live in an age of McDonald’s, video games, convenience and technology. It’s harder than ever to make sure our children are a healthy and appropriate weight. Our children are not going to save themselves – it’s up to us to ensure that they are healthy and happy. It’s not just our responsibility...it’s our duty. Take a look at the shocking statistics below: Even one popular cookie commercial utilizes the power of ‘family,’ showing children and their parents racing to eat the cookies – making it seem like a regular, normal activity you might engage in if you’re a ‘good’ parent. With all of these different signals coming at you, it can be extremely difficult to determine whether you’re making the right decisions regarding your child’s diet. That’s why I’m excited to tell you about... “Understanding Childhood Obesity and the Essential Role of Parents” This is a book designed to help you take control of your child’s diet and ensure that he or she is getting precisely what they need and no more – and that you’re supporting a healthy, appropriate weight. It takes the guesswork out of the equation and answers the nagging questions you have about your child’s nutrition. Just some of the information you’ll find in this book includes: (1) What daily foods your child should be eating. These are the foods that are essential for good growth and development in your child. (2) Which foods they should be eating sparingly – the kinds of foods that could end up as problematic and cause more weight to be gained. (3) How to introduce your child to healthier foods that they may be averse to in the beginning – and how to sneak in healthy foods. (4) How much exercise your child should be getting each day – and what qualifies as exercise. Did you know that something as simple as jumping rope can be an excellent exercise for your child? (5) What questions and topics you should bring up with your doctor. Should your child be taking medications or vitamin supplements? How much overweight is your child and how much weight should they lose? How quickly should they lose this weight? These are all valid questions that you should ask your child’s pediatrician. Find out which other ones you should be asking. It’s Never Too Late to Put Your Child on the Fast Track to Great Physical and Mental Health!
