Fighting Child Obesity
by: Shelley Murphy
Fitness and nutrition expert, Tracey Redford of Curves International says,
“The inactivity among young people can not be blamed solely on the
evolution of Internet technology and television in itself. Child obesity
has lead to a number of other health related issues such as diabetes, high
blood pressure, and heart disease from the combination of improper
nutrition and lack of exercise.”
Redford went on to say, “We live in a complex society where children of
all ages have to contend with social issues such as depression, violence
and divorce all having a downward spiraling affect both physically and
emotionally. The psychological impact this has on our youth’s triggers an
imbalance in eating habits and leads to a lack of motivation creating a
domino effect.”
A summer camp experience with weight loss benefits
Last year in Canada alone the government spent over $2 billion on medical
procedures surrounding obesity. No matter how many times we read about or
see it on the news, children still do not understand the connection
between eating, exercise and a healthy body. Rather than pointing fingers
and placing blame, we need more resources and programs that can be offered
such as summer camp programs specializing in weight loss. These camps are
sometimes referred to as “fat camps” for young children and teens to guide
them and educate them on making good healthy choices.
Children and parents shouldn’t be turned off by the words, “fat camp”
which simply means a place where children of all ages can get fit, learn
about nutritional balance and have fun doing so. Getting to participate in
sports, crafts, and making make new friends while achieving weight loss in
a nurturing environment provides a positive alternative for kids, and can
pave the way to combat obesity.
The ultimate goal is sustainable healthy weight loss
When children feel they have no options, they continue on the same path of
poor eating habits leading to a state of helplessness. Sending a child to
a gym where they feel isolated and eventually lose motivation is not the
solution either. Redford explains, “We need far better choices if we want
our youth’s to get on track and stay on track. Weight loss camps for
pre-teens and teenagers are a viable solution.”
What exactly is a weight loss camp? It’s about building a better
self-image and self esteem while promoting health and wellness with
individualized programs geared to weight loss that yields long term
results. This is the foundation of the whole weight loss summer camp
experience. A nutritionist designs an appropriate menu enabling campers to
lose the weight and provide the necessary tools to keep the weight off
upon returning home from camp. Understanding that the parent’s role is
crucial in encouraging proper weight control for their children, the camps
provide access to a network of nutritionist across the country.
