Lunch Your Child in to Fitness Orbit"
WHILE AUGUST MARKS BACK TO SCHOOL TIME, it also means a return to packing lunches. A healthy lunch will give your child the energy they need to grow and play as well as help with their concentration as school.
(PRWEB) August 20, 2004 -- Unfortunately, many lunchboxes are crammed with fat, sugar and salt and are missing fruit, vegetables and whole grains," says Dolletta Mitchell, fitness expert and business owner of EliteTrainersUSA.com. But since a handful of foods do most of the damage to childrens diets and health, a handful of changes can go a long way toward improving them."
Whats in a childs lunch is important because its in childhood that eating habits are formed and heart disease, obesity, osteoporosis and other diseases begin to develop. Fatty build-ups -- the beginning of clogged arteries -- are seen in the arteries of children as young as ten years old. Obesity rates in children have doubled in the last decade.
Mary Jane Medlock, a Waxahachie resident who appeared in "Good Housekeeping" magazine and featured on FOX Television, Montel Williams Show, Lifetime Television and numerous newspapers across the country after losing 162, will speak about childhood obesity from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Aug. 21 at Performance Playground, 4152 Cole Avenue, Suite D., Dallas, TX 75204.
Fitness experts will be on hand to discuss childhood eating habits and how to create healthy lunches that can lunch your child in to fitness orbit."
