Nearly one-third of children in America
are
overweight or obese–a rate that has tripled in adolescents and more
than doubled in younger children since 1980. One-third of all
individuals born in the year 2000 or later will eventually suffer
from
diabetes over the course of their lifetime, while too many others
will
face chronic obesity-related health problems such as heart disease,
high blood pressure, cancer, and asthma. Without effective
intervention, many more children will endure serious illnesses that
will put a strain on our health-care system and reduce their quality
of
life.

Childhood obesity or excess weight threatens the healthy future of one third of American children. We spend $150 billion every year to treat obesity-related conditions, and that number is growing.
Obesity rates tripled in the past 30 years, a trend that means, for the first time in our history, American children may face a shorter expected lifespan than their parents.
We need to get moving. Join First Lady Michelle Obama, community leaders, teachers, doctors, nurses, moms and dads in a nationwide campaign to tackle the challenge of childhood obesity.
Let’s Move! has an ambitious but important goal: to solve the epidemic of childhood obesity within a generation.

Do you know where your carrots, potatoes, oranges and tomatoes have been? Unless your fruits and vegetables are organic, most likely they were produce in a field covered in pesticides and herbicides. Although the pesticide residues on fruits and vegetables are considered to be controlled at safe levels for human intake, I don’t want those chemicals in my body, do you?
Most fruits and vegetables are handled by several different pairs of hands in the fields, then in the warehouses, and finally again in the grocery store. Be aware that bacteria such as Listeria, Salmonella and E. Coli may be lurking on your fruits and vegetables, whether they are organically grown or conventionally grown. All of these bacteria can cause food- borne illness.
How to Wash Your Fruits and Vegetables Tips:
1) Begin by keeping your cooking area (kitchen top), refrigerator, cookware and cutlery clean.
2) Always wash your hands before preparing meals and handling fruits and vegetables.
3) Keep fresh greens, fruits and vegetables away from uncooked meats to avoid cross-contamination.
4) Avoid bruised, moldy and mushy produce.
5) Wait until just before you eat or prepare your fruits and vegetables to wash them.
**Fruits and vegetables have natural coatings that keep moisture inside, so washing them can make them spoil sooner.
6) Wash all pre-packaged fruits and vegetables, even if it is labeled pre-washed.
7) Wash all parts of your fruits and vegetables, even if you don’t plan on eating them. Bacteria can live on the rind of an orange or the skin of a cucumber, for example. Though you may peel them away and toss them in the trash, the bacteria can be transferred from the outside of the fruit or vegetable to the knife you use to cut them, and then onto the parts you will be eating.
**Gently rub fruits and vegetables under running water. No need to use any soaps, detergents, bleaches or other toxic cleaning chemicals. These chemicals will leave a residue of their own on your produce.

Are you eating the right vegetables and fruits to help prevent contacting any virus this upcoming cold and flu season? Try to incorporate vegetables into your daily diet and add fresh fruits to your breakfast.
According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, cardiovascular disease and cancer rank as the leading causes of death in the U.S. and in most industrialized countries. Eating fresh fruit and vegetables regularly is associated with reduced risks of cancer, cardiovascular disease, stroke, Alzheimer disease, cataracts, and some of the common problems linked with aging. The journal also states that prevention is more effective than treating these types of chronic disease.

Most people believe if someone is skinny, slim or thin, that they are healthy. Remember, being healthy is not all about your weight, but more about your eating and exercising habits.
