- Personal Training Helps Overweight Children Get Healthy
By: Stephen Daniels | - Obesity is a serious issue facing children today. Inactivity due to television and video games is only a small part of the problem.

Personal training can be an effective way to make sure your child has the tools they need to become healthy and stay that way.
Gym classes and recess at school are geared toward teaching kids how to stay physically fit. Unfortunately, th ...

- Helping Kids Transition Away From Toxic Foods To Healthier Nutrition Choices
By: Colleen Trombley-VanHoogstraat | - The science of Epigenetics explains that our lifestyle choices (environment) will determine our level of health and our risk factors for chronic illness. In fact, research has demonstrated that over 98% of all chronic illness (cancer, diabetes, obesity, heart disease, depression & anxiety disorders, reproductive disorders, digestive disorders, etc.) is due to environmental factors, not genetics. This means that our choices in nutrition, movement and mindset will determine how healthy we are.

- Teaching Children To Make Healthy, Nutritious Food Choices Is A Two-fold Approach
By: Colleen Trombley-VanHoogstraat | - Making healthy eating choices has never been more important. All chronic illness is on the rise, and at younger ages than ever before. Thankfully, leading scientists and experts have confirmed that the vast majority of these illnesses are preventable and reversible through our lifestyle choices. It's critical to make better choices in nutrition as adults, but it's increasingly important to teach our children the same.
Making healthier choices in nutrition is a two-fold process. Fi ...

- Why Are Our Children Overweight?
By: Brenda Simard | - Being an overweight child has many negative connotations. Children can be very cruel without totally understanding that they are hurting someone's feelings. An obese child lacks self-esteem and social acceptance. But why has the number of overweight children doubled in the last twenty years?
One thing to remember is that not all issues with weight are due to being lazy or not eating properly. There are genetic disorders and diseases that, unfortunately, will cause children to be ove ...

- Kids' Nutrition - Where Has All The Color Gone?
By: Colleen Trombley-VanHoogstraat | - Lately, I've had several opportunities to get up close and personal with children's meals and snacks. It has been an awakening!
I have two young children. I understand the challenge of consistently providing them with healthy, nutritious foods. Foods that they will actually eat, that is! It's a challenge, yes. But, it's a worthy cause.
We have innate genetic requirements for health. We require purity and sufficiency in the way we eat, move and think. Without this, w ...

- Nutrition Vitamins From Food & Supplements
By: Harry Johnson | - Many people, including myself, take a multivitamin or supplement of some sort in hopes of making ourselves healthier, fitter, stronger people. But I also want to draw your attention to the importance of getting the majority of your nutrition vitamins directly from the foods you eat.
You see, many people don't realize that supplemental nutrition vitamins are just that-SUPPLEMENTS to your regular diet. If you are relying on nutrition vitamins for all your vitamin c for example, you ...

- The "human Being Diet" Vs. Reading Nutrition Labels
By: Colleen Trombley-VanHoogstraat | - Nutrition is one of the most confusing and contradictory components of the Health and Wellness field. Opinions and advice regarding diets, food choices, cooking methods and supplements are overwhelming. It's hard to know where to turn or who to listen to.
As a result, I continually witness people making rather odd choices, all in the name of "nutrition". It's unfortunate that food choices are consistently made based upon certain isolated components of specific food. For example, w ...

- Is There A Link Between Adhd And Nutrition?
By: Phillip T. Terry | - Many studies have been conducted which support the theory that ADHD and nutrition are closely linked and as one of the most widely accepted problems effecting attention deficit hyperactivity disorder in children. Food allergies can result in biochemical changes which lead to restlessness, inattention and even depression. Treating the food sensitivities in ADHD children is obviously more desirable than using medication.

- "please Don't Feed My Children" - Thoughts On Childhood Nutrition
By: Colleen Trombley-VanHoogstraat | - For the past year, we've been home schooling our kids. Our eldest started off her formal academic career at a local school that has a long tradition of excellence. It really is a great place... a great community.
That being said, for a number of reasons, we chose to pull our daughter out for the past year. Is it a permanent decision? I doubt it. We just needed a break. Some of the reasons were fairly predictable, like the rising cost of tuition in a 'tough economy'.

- What Is The Connection Between Nutrition And Child Behavior?
By: Bianca Tora | - We are what we eat. Moreover we need to be more careful about what we put in our children's mouths. Studies have shown that we have reason to be concerned about the relationship between food and behavior.
Our food is depleted of nutrients because of changes in agricultural practices adopted in the seventies. What we eat is contaminated by additives. We also tend to over process our food, thus further depleting it of nutrients.
First, changes in agricultural practic ...

- Childhood Nutrition - Taking A Closer Look At The Mixed Messages We Send Our Kids
By: Colleen Trombley-VanHoogstraat | - Children's nutrition is a loaded subject. At no other time in our lives is building a solid foundation for health more important. Yet, at no other time in our lives are we so completely at the mercy of others making decisions for us.
That means it's up to the grown-ups in a child's life to understand the importance of healthy food (and beverage) choices in order to introduce healthy habits to their children.
Easier said than done! It seems as though, in the case of ...

- Traveling With Kids, The Healthy Way - Nutrition
By: Colleen Trombley-VanHoogstraat | - Recently, my husband and I turned a 4 day seminar in Atlanta into a 6 day family adventure and road trip. Approximately 26 hours in the car over 2 days, 6 days of non-home-cooked meals, and 4 solid days of sitting in a seminar room in a hotel... all day long.
Not exactly a recipe for optimal health!

- Hidden Sources Of Sugar
By: Joanna Dolgoff | - Children in America eat way too much sugar each day! Much of the sugar is obvious. Cookies, candies and cakes clearly contain sugar. Sugar cereals and soda are other large sources of obvious sugar. But there is lots of sugar hiding in non-obvious food sources.
Even sugar-free pudding has sugar in it! The sugar is in the form of lactose, a natural sugar found in dairy products. So how can they advertise the product as sugar-free? Sugar-free simply means that there is no ad ...

- How Palate Training Helps Overweight Children
By: Peter Gallacher | - Across the world more than 22 million children under the age of 5 are severely overweight. To try and buck the trend kids should be educated about their tastebuds to save their future waistlines.

- Toys And Games To Keep Your Children Active
By: Marshall Williams | - Children glued to the telly? Lure those lazy little buttocks outside with some novel outdoor toys. The sad fact about childhood obesity is that we as adults have to shoulder a large part of the blame. Healthy eating habits start at home. The weight gain equation is simple: kilojoules consumed should equal kilojoules expended, otherwise the excess energy gets stored in the form of fat.
One could argue that the prevalence of media campaigns that target children contribute to the fr ...

- How Insomnia And Nutrition Are Interrelated
By: Muna Wanjiru | - The food we eat has a very important impact on all the body structures, influencing nervous and physical activities alike; therefore, don't be surprised to discover that insomnia and nutrition are interrelated. Food digestion requires a certain amount of effort from the muscles around the stomach, and this very area is rich in nervous ramifications; hence, heavy meals in the evening are not recommended since they can easily trigger sleep disorders. The last meal of the day should be taken at lea ...

- Overfed And Undernourished: The Nutrition Paradox
By: Chris Robertson | - We live in the wealthiest country in the world, a place where food is in abundance. We're bombarded with advertisements urging us to "supersize" our portions and take advantage of foods that are easy to prepare. We are also working more than ever, and even our children are overscheduled, so we often compromise and take a trip through the drive through rather than fix a home-cooked meal. The result? We're overfed but undernourished, meaning that we often don't get the nutrition we need to sustain ...

- Children's Eating Habits: Who Is To Blame?
By: Chris Snow | - Parents often teach their children very poor food habits. For example, during a busy morning when everyone is running late, there is little time to think about making and eating breakfast, although it is the most important meal of the day. So parents will skip the children's breakfast and tell them to eat well at lunch when they are at school. When lunchtime arrives, the parent is still not very hungry so he or she will eat a snack bar and a diet soda and go back to work. It may be that the chil ...

By: Peter Nisbet | - Copyright 2006 Peter Nisbet
The nutritional requirements of a child have to be considered carefully. Growing children require a high amount of energy intake to help them to grow, but, just as with adults, if energy intake exceeds energy usage, the child will put on weight.
Naturally, children should, and must, gain weight through the natural process of growth, but many children go beyond that and put on excess fatty tissue; i.e. they become obese. Obesity is rapid ...
