New Guide Providing Obese Children with an Alternative to Weight-Loss Surgery
Derby, NY (PRWeb) February 14, 2007 -- It's an unfortunate fact of contemporary society that today's youth are getting fatter... dangerously fatter in fact. According to the American Obesity Society, over 15 percent of today's children and adolescents are considered clinically obese. That figure represents a threefold increase from just 30 years ago. And an even higher percentage of today's young people fall in the overweight range.
A new Web site is aiming to buck this growing trend with safe and effective techniques to help kids shed their excess pounds. "The Ultimate Child Obesity Guide" equips caregivers of overweight young people with the tools they need to fight and win the battle of the bulge. Individuals who would like to download a free "Top Ten Guide to Help Children Develop Healthy Habits" can do so online at http://echildhoodobesity.com/freeguide.php.
Last week, The Associate Press released a startling article: "Child weight-loss surgeries more common as obesity among U.S. children increases." The story revealed that in an effort to combat their weight problems, more young people are putting themselves under the knife. The problem with this weight-reduction strategy is that four in ten patients will develop complications within six months of having gastric surgery.
With their excess weight upping obese youngsters' risk for heart disease, diabetes, cancer and stroke, there's no doubt that drastic measures are necessary. Spokesperson for "The Ultimate Child Obesity Guide," Scott Turner, however, believes that exposing oneself to the dangers of surgery should be reserved as a last-ditch effort. "There are many safe and effective means that should be tried first," he asserts. "Our guidebook sheds light on these alternative methods."
eChildhoodObesity.com's approach is a holistic one. Through the active involvement of the entire family, the stage is set for long-term weight-loss success. By teaching young people how to eat healthy, by encouraging them to engage in physical activity and by instructing them to set realistic goals, "The Ultimate Child Obesity Guide" equips overweight youngsters with the skill sets they need to maintain a healthy weight for a lifetime. Best of all, it does so in a safe, all-natural way.
One family who has put "The Ultimate Child Obesity Guide's" strategies to the test holds the program in high esteem: "You don't know what this weight loss has meant to him [our son. He has so much confidence and feels good about himself now."
