Lollipop and Gum Drops: Addressing the Childhood obesity Epidemic

2010-05-12T12:01:00.001-07:00

We are often born with a tabula rasa, through the years we fill that slate with unhealthy habits. Children do not have the intellectual capacities to reevaluate the value of a healthy lifestyle. As adults prevention should be our main focus. A famous philosopher once said “When health is absent, wisdom cannot reveal itself, art cannot manifest, strength cannot fight, wealth becomes useless, and intelligence cannot be applied.” (Herophilus). As members of the community we should want our children to have wisdom to be revealed , usefulness of their wealth, and intellect that can be applied.

Health is one of our most valuable assets as a country. Unfortunately, the childhood obesity epidemic is taking this asset away. Recent shifts in the American sedentary lifestyle have become a major focus in many health communities. Children are less active and consume more than in recent decade as a result type 2 Diabetes cases are on a steady increase. Generally this is a direct result of the rise of childhood obesity and poor lifestyle management.

The most effective way of addressing the epidemic of childhood obesity and type 2 Diabetes is to focus on positive lifestyle behavior changes. This means engaging children and young adults in positive lifestyle behaviors such as eating healthier, exercising more and gaining weight management skills.

We have the ability to change the direction of this trend. Recent studies have shown that unhealthy learned behaviors in children and young adults can be unlearned. Shifting our focus not so much on weight loss but weight management and healthy lifestyle techniques is pivotal. As a society we have the ability to show our youth a better way.

35$ Billion Down the Drain

2009-03-09T17:11:00.000-07:00

35$ Billion Down the Drain

It seems that our quest for beauty far out way our general needs for food, water, and shelter. Gimmicks and weight loss programs have us collectively creating a 35 billion dollar industry. Since the beginning of time we've catered to an obsessing of looking thinner, taller, larger, smaller everything we are not at the current time. What ever happen to the quest for health and well-being? This is not a blame the victim situation makers of these products and programs appeal to our desire obtain health and wellness.

Many Americans equate wellness with weight loss not knowing wellness encompasses so much more. Well-being is a lifestyle. It takes much more than a $300 cellulite cream or a trip to your local plastic surgeon. So before you find out the hard way and thousands of dollars later I will let you and your wallet in a little secret…magic pills, elixirs, and creams don’t work.

Wellness is a state of mind and well-being is a combination of inner peace and tranquility. I am not talking about finding your inner Buddha. I am talking about finding ways to reduce stress and beginning to love you. Total wellness is about getting fit inside, and out, being able to make the life changes that will sustain the person you want to become.

As owner of Elite Wellness we help our client created the lifestyle changes. Changes that are continuous, it may be hard at first but it won't always feel that way. Helping people change their mindset from the instant gratification junkies to lifestyle and longevity thinking essentially is the key. Wellness is a journey that is taken one step at a time there is no instantly pass go card, just plain self determination.
