Obesity Is Considered A Serious Condition For Children


OBESITY AND LOW BIRTHWEIGHT - HEALTH OF KIDS

Obesity is the most prevalent nutritional disorder among children and adolescents in the United States. Currently available data report that approximately 40% of children in the United States are either overweight or obese; the prevalence of obesity is highest among specific ethnic groups.
A new study by Duke University in North Carolina Rising obesity rates and a large percentage of children born with low birthweights are dragging down the overall health of American children in their first decade of life, according to a report tracking the health and well-being of young children in the United States.

Obesity is the #1 nutritional disorder in our nation. In fact, it is one of the major causes of suffering, disability, and death. Obesity is associated with significant increases in risk for type II diabetes mellitus, hyperlipidemia, high cholesterol, coronary artery disease, degenerative joint disease and psychosocial disability. Certain cancers - colon, rectum and prostate in men; uterus, biliary tract, breast and ovary in women - are more prevalent in the obese. Obesity is seen as an individual problem, but in the case of children, they have very little control over their environment. Often, the paren ts have grown up with the same negative environmental factors (fast food availability, little in centive for exercise) and don't know how or why to change what has become a way of life.

Produces Insulin: The Pancreas.

In reality, Diabetes is not the "disease" at all.

It's actually a "symptom" - an outward "signal" - of a damaged pancreas that simply is too damaged to produce the insulin your body needs!

So what is the pancreas, you might ask?

The pancreas is a long “gland”, right behind the stomach, that secretes insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin into the bloodstream.

Doctors tell you that when you have Diabetes, your pancreas "just doesn't" produce enough insulin - or no insulin at all.

That's been the explanation so far. Diabetes "just happens". But think about it: Does that really makes sense?

When millions of people around the world start experiencing the same health problems, something is seriously wrong. Something is unbalanced. And it's never an "accident".

What scientists have now discovered is... that the "Root Cause" of Diabetes is your pancreas starts when your pancreas becomes diseased by acids: sugars, carbohydrates, excess fats and uric acid (all very common in our modern diets) keep going from the stomach directly to the pancreas.

Because your pancreas is the next "link" in the digestion "chain", whatever you eat goes directly to this delicate organ... So instead of digesting food and producing insulin... it now becomes a “shock organ”.

Which means...
