Despite advances in medical technology and emergency care,the next generation of Americans has a shorter life expectancy than their parents, a troublesome statistic unprecedented in recorded history. Obesity is a risk factor for 40 different illnesses in nine different organ systems including diabetes, hypertension, even asthma and mood disorders.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eParents have long sought a comprehensive yet enjoyable plan of action, one that develops lifelong health priorities and self-control as part of their children’s education. Without good health, their journey into the future may have significant obstacles, impediments that can be avoided only by early intervention. The solution requires proper caloric balance, regular exercise, avoidance of peer-pressure, development of self-confidence, and multiple other important life lessons.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuch a solution is superbly delineated in this excellent book, which is an indispensable addition to every parent’s library. Mothers and fathers have always been the ideal life-coaches, and their role in treating and preventing obesity cannot be duplicated by any government, insurance, or scholastic program. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eCombat Fat for Kids\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e, superbly and engagingly written by James Villepigue and Jo Brielyn, belongs in your home.
