American childhood obesity. She is trying to change the children bad habits to<br />
the healthier ones. According to Benac, nearly one-third of the US children are<br />
overweight or obese. For that reason, Frist lady Obama had started her campaign<br />
under the logo of ‘Let’s Move’ which tended to fight obesity of US children.<br />
Let’s Move campaign’s goal is to recruit the children’s food providers, such as<br />
parents, schools, food manufacturers, to provide healthy food and help to<br />
change the children’s habits of eating. On the other hand, contests with money<br />
prize are made to encouraged video games designers to design games that make<br />
children eat and exercise. On the political side, Obama’s administration had<br />
suggested US$10 billion over 10 years for healthier school lunches. Throughout<br />
Obama’s campaign, she claims that obesity would not end unless parents, schools<br />
and communities work together. </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

we do as Mrs. Obama said of working together, we would help our children to<br />
change their eating habits. Also, we know that today most children like video<br />
games and if these games changed to be games that need a player’s movement such<br />
as the Wii, it would helpful for the children to exercise. I believe that the<br />
government must care about children obesity problem because if the next<br />
generation lifecycles is less than the current one that means this nation is<br />
coming to end sooner. Finally, why the government could not be strict of junk<br />
food providers and let them serve freely the bad food to our children? </span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 10pt; text-align: justify;"><br />

we do not have to watch them all the time when eating healthy foods becomes<br />

As reported by Lock, the difference between the family therapy and individual therapy is significant because more patients of age 12 to 18 years who had been involved in a family program were free of anorexia a year later. Family therapy was better at the end of the treatment program but not during the follow-up. According to researchers, the family therapy is better if the parents are not willing to be involved otherwise individual ; therapy, is better. After all, the study made by researchers was during one year and the sample of patients was small. So they are wondering if the program goes for a longterm, or if the sample was bigger, then statistics may change and their decision also may change</span></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 18px;"><br />

What I mean is, when you are in a group you will always find someone involved with you and you will encourage each other at the most difficult times. So, I am certain that family programs would be better than individual therapy. with respect to family and their effect on the each other, I think if the parents have control on them selves they may control their kids regarding their eating habits. After all, it is rare to find healthy parents with unhealthy kids and vice versa</span> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Times New Roman';"></span><br />

This percentage has been reported in nine states: Alabama, Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Oklahoma, Tennessee, and West Virginia. As said by US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the American society has become “obesogenic” because of the environment that support over-eating, unhealthy food and physical inactivity. On the word of CDC Director Dr Thomas, obesity is a challenge to the public health and must be addressed continually because it leads the society to sickness and dying from obesity related causes. On the other hand, obesity cost 147 billion US dollars as medical cost with an increment of 1429 dollars of normal people (CDC report). </span><br />

I feel sorry for those who cannot help themselves and get out of their obesity and I do not want to be like them in the future. In that way, I care too much for the health of my family and me. I always say that food is to help you live but not to live for food.</span></div></div>Amirahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16523872935105330029noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3201010500738672584.post-79713296772170742332010-09-29T14:04:00.000-07:002010-09-29T14:05:56.962-07:00Schools add healthy eating as key to student success<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9LGaFDrALLmA-HuuL9redu1sHk_wAwqyJQzTVelWn8TmpubJiVS7bcmuVAmjZrXAhmpnhAoAkljPlJFvXQ-jQZUSIw_G6GvGGlcSOE-nnV7p_S8qNXol26_qvYyz3J2rB1p3JN0VnlXFt/s1600/media.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="239" px="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9LGaFDrALLmA-HuuL9redu1sHk_wAwqyJQzTVelWn8TmpubJiVS7bcmuVAmjZrXAhmpnhAoAkljPlJFvXQ-jQZUSIw_G6GvGGlcSOE-nnV7p_S8qNXol26_qvYyz3J2rB1p3JN0VnlXFt/s320/media.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This article is inspiring and gives hope that change to a better life is always possible if we work for it.

I believe that people behavior and activity are directly affected by their food habits. I can see this in my children after each meal we take. If the food is healthy, they would be active but without damaging things in the house. Also, if they eat unhealthy food with for example more sugar they would break everything. The third case if they eat unhealthy food like McDonalds, and they would be inactive all the day.</span><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span><span dir="rtl" lang="AR-SA" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman", "serif"; font-size: 12pt; font-weight: normal; mso-ascii-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-bidi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-hansi-theme-font: major-bidi; mso-themecolor: text1;"></span>Amirahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16523872935105330029noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3201010500738672584.post-40351560197231037062010-09-17T04:46:00.000-07:002010-09-17T04:46:49.002-07:00Animal-based protein diets increase mortality rate<strong>Reference</strong>:<br />

According to this article, Animal-based proteins and fats increase mortality rates while plant-based proteins do not, as indicated by some health studies.Studies have found a direct link between eating animal-based food and red meat and cancer death. In addition a malor clinical study research found that iow-carb, high protein diets have lots of benefits for health such as weight loss. as well as will as improvements in lipid brofiles, reduced inflammation and better blood sugar control,<br />

I like this article because it gave me new information about risks of animal-based <br />
food and how I can keep my health better and away from harms and still getting the sameamount of proteins without eating animal-based food. I thought that disadvantaes of animal-based food are onely concerned with fat, butthrout this article i was shocked to know that is directly connected to cancer.Amirahhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16523872935105330029noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3201010500738672584.post-86149022151971831542010-09-16T20:53:00.000-07:002010-09-16T20:53:01.150-07:00What Is A Calorie?<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJel2Ox3lLEJ7zBKfhJ8AcQ2I-iXoMK8yWVJedQ5xjuPvzp925_hKeZkzLMqJnt1bOIItK5FQJ2pEguEu9zkK4l3aj-cj0J9F6F99guNhfuDWbygLShWI_XyTvR8p0_ZVp8t_fEPjsLbBj/s1600/462524c9-0006d-04588-400cb8e1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" qx="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJel2Ox3lLEJ7zBKfhJ8AcQ2I-iXoMK8yWVJedQ5xjuPvzp925_hKeZkzLMqJnt1bOIItK5FQJ2pEguEu9zkK4l3aj-cj0J9F6F99guNhfuDWbygLShWI_XyTvR8p0_ZVp8t_fEPjsLbBj/s320/462524c9-0006d-04588-400cb8e1.jpg" /></a></div><br />
