Obesity isa modern health dilemma for today children, who are struggling with weight as never before.It is a difficult problem to combat, given the fact that you want to make sure that your childrenare receiving sufficient amounts of nutrients in their diets. While some children may outgrowobesity, others carry it with them into their adult lives. Obesity in children can result in feelingsof fatigue, worthlessness, and hopelessness. It can also place them at greater risk for diabetesand heart disease.Just how widespread is the problem? The National Institutes of Health has determined that, over

the last thirty years, the number of young people with weight problems has increased two fold.Interestingly enough, the problem is affecting children of all ages as well as children from allethnic groups.Children who are overweight may not develop socially as fast as their peers. They can becomeloners, finding it difficult to make friends. They may think that their weight is beyond theircontrol and they may not know what to do in order to attempt to prevent weight gain. In essence,obese children can become our lost generation.抯The parents of these children may not realize how detrimental obesity is to their childrenemotional health. They may consider the obesity just a passing phase and they may notunderstand the psychological devastation that obesity can cause. They may even dismiss theconcerns of their children, hoping that the problem will simply go away.The causes of childhood obesity can be complex. However, there do appear to be a fewidentifiable triggers. For instance, many families now eat on the run because of their manycommitments. Parents may not think they have time to prepare nutritious meals for their抯children, so they rely on fast food and sugary snacks to fill in the gaps. As a result, children endup eating a diet that rich in fat and sugar but which offers little in the way of nutritional抯value. According to the American Obesity Association, one third of parents believe theirchildren dietary habits are worse than theirs were during their own childhoods.抯Another key problem is inactivity. Children watch more than a full day worth of television抯 抮each week. That in addition to the hours they devote to their computers. As a result, they enot playing outside as much as children of generations past. Also, many children may feel as ifthey cannot participate in sports because of their weight. Feeling defeated before they even start,they pass up opportunities to engage in physical activities.It has been shown that children tend to be heavily influenced by advertising. Unfortunately,many commercials tout foods that can be best classified as unhealthy. Children crave what theysee on TV and in movie theaters and they may not realize what these foods will do to theirbodies.Luckily, childhood obesity can be successfully conquered. Here are a few tips to help your childovercome a weight problem:?Encourage your child to take part in sports or dance.

With a little push, children will become accustomed to eatinghealthy snacks such as fruit and vegetables.抯?Check with your child pediatrician to see if he or she can recommend some specific weightcontrol strategies.

With the rate at which medical expenses havecontinued to rise over previous years, and the reductions in government funded health careprograms, being without health insurance is less an option today than ever. Many young peoplehave never had to think about health insurance as their parents have always taken care of this抰aspect of life for them. But for many kids setting out for college, health insurance is one thingyou can afford to forget about.Be AwareEveryone has specific health care needs, and young people often make the mistake of thinkingthey, as a group, do not need to worry about health care. While statistically, students may not bethe biggest health care users, there are any number of unplanned events that can lead to you抰 抣needing health care. If you don have insurance you l regret it. These can range from抯driving and sporting accidents, std and other illnesses, and travel insurance needs.抯Whatever your specific needs, you might want to consider investing what on offer as part ofstudent health care plans. They will often provide the right balance between protection andaffordability that students are looking for.抯Many students when they head off to college go out with the HMO network of their parentinsurance plans and this will be another reason to investigate student health insurance. Manyschools and colleges will have some form of insurance available if students require it. You willhave to pay of course, but often, because of the amount of insurance they buy, they cannegotiate better deals and prices than you would otherwise be able to find.

They can also have terms and coverage that suit you and the activities and needs you are likely抯to experience most closely. As with all insurance though, shop around. Just because it your抯 抰 抯college plan, doesn mean it the best option available to you. There are as many抯insurance plans, as there are customers these days, so you should see what available andmake sure you are getting something you want and need before you hand over your money.Health InsuranceIn other cases, your school will require you to have some form of health insurance. This may bea condition before you can enrol. If you cannot afford a full traditional health plan, a student抯insurance plan may be more affordable and will allow you to meet your school insurancerequirements.
