From your school nurse:
Quality nutrition and physical activity are essential for optimal growth,
development, and well-being. The global shift in diet intake of foods that
are high in fat and sugar but low in nutrients has contributed greatly to
childhood obesity.
The immediate and long-term effects of overweight and obesity impact the
physical, emotional, and social health of children and adolescents and
places them at a higher risk for the following health conditions (CDC,
2016a; Hoelscher, Kirk, Ritchie, & Cunningham-Sabo, 2013; NIH, 2017):
· high blood pressure and high cholesterol (cardiovascular disease);
· breathing problems such as asthma and sleep apnea;
· type 2 diabetes, impaired glucose tolerance, insulin resistance;
· fatty liver disease, gallstones, gastro-esophageal reflux;
· psychological problems such as anxiety and depression;
· joint and musculoskeletal disorders;
· poor self-esteem and quality of life;
· social problems such as bullying; and
· some cancers
