Healthier in eating than processed food!
With children going back to school the past 2 weeks a good topic would be health today in the U.S. and how it impacts the children in our society. It is the role of the government and people of America to help solve problems in our society, including our health crises.
Obesity is a health epidemic across our country, and we have a responsibility to promote good nutrition and healthy eating so we can reverse this alarming trend. Learning young about healthy foods to eat on a regular basis with moderation on treats, from fast foods to deserts, with keeping the weight in the therapeutic range or body mass index including balancing rest and exercise will help decrease the percentage of disease in this generation and the one to follow, hopefully.
Let us not forget today’s mid age or later age people in America with disease factors already set in due to unhealthy eating for many years, you can also change your eating habits with exercising moderately and have better health results also (but it is recommended that your general practitioner clear you with diet and activity first.).
The government helps out by passing via Congress in 2010 rules required under a child nutritional law in their effort to get childhood obesity decreased to hopefully absent one day, like some countries. Society has gotten involved where schools took action with improving their lunches and even vending machine options with others still selling high fat & high calorie foods. Parents and teachers still have to work harder with reinforcing healthy eating habits in their children both in class and at home so that the future will be healthier for them and their children. For this to take place today’s children have to walk a pathway at a young age to get in the state of mind to strive for overall wellness . This will definitely decrease certain diseases caused by poor eating habits with sedentary lifestyles, sooner than you think.
From Feb. 2013 the agriculture department already involved regulating nutritional content of school breakfasts and lunches that have already been subsidized by the federal government, but most lunchrooms also have a la carte lines that sell other foods and hopefully that has changed. Also food sold via vending machines and in other ways outside the lunchroom has never before been federally regulated as of Feb. 2013. Mom and Dad your peeps need your guidance not just the schools or the government’s, since they don’t always use the best of judgment. It has to start somewhere and the drive to a healthy USA is increasing, join me.
Do you want a better body, or a healthier society overall? Than take the action in walking the steps to eat, think, and act throught some exercise today. It would be great if America could spread this type of thinking in our society’s way of thinking and pass it on to future generation to help decrease disease and illnesses in our country due to poor dieting and poor healthy habits over years. Let us make a change for the better America.
