Childhood Obesity: What We Can Do For Our Kids
Rahway – Is your child overweight or obese? Childhood obesity, its causes and prevention, is the topic of a special program Thursday, October 25th at 7:30 pm at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital Rahway.
The free program features a registered dietitian, exercise physiologist and behavioral health expert to explain the reasons behind pediatric obesity and practical steps families can take. More than 15 percent of American children are considered obese, running the risk of health problems such as diabetes and heart disease.
Obesity in children is complex and needs to involve the entire family. This program features a segment on healthy food choices for growing bodies, movement and exercise, eating behaviors and self-esteem.
Space is limited for this very timely program. To register, please call The Diabetes Self-Management Program at 732-499-6109. Program will be held in Conference Room 1 at the hospital.
