Provides Solutions For Health Crises in Children
Nutrition expert, mother of four details nutrition and fitness
regimen for busy families.
Sydney, Australia -- Obesity in children is a problem throughout
the world. Busy family life, fast foods, and a proliferation of
media entertainment have all conspired to put weight on
children while dramatically reducing their physical activity.
One solution to the problem is Sirkka Wolke's new book "FitKid7 -
7 Simple Steps for a Fit & Healthy Child." Wolke, a nutritional
consultant and mother of four, prescribes a simple seven step
program that helps children lose weight and keep it off while
staying fit.
"These days when parents are working two and three jobs, children
no longer have access to the healthy home-cooked meals past
generations enjoyed. The result is often an over weight child
who caries the health risks and stigma for a lifetime," Wolke
said.
"FitKid7" provides seven steps to eating right, losing weight,
getting fit, and maintaining good health over the long term.
Children following the program lose weight fast without diets and
measuring, simply by taking advantage of sensible lifestyle
choices.
"The weight practically falls off children when they eat right
and get proper exercise. Then keeping the weight off is simple
as making a few lifestyle choices within the family," Wolke said.
Wolke, who has worked extensively as a nutritional consultant to
families, wrote the book after parents often asked her about
their child's weight. Parents needed a direct and practical way
to help their children lose weight while achieving better
physical and mental health. "Children who eat right often sleep
better, have fewer behavior problems, experience less illness,
and are able to pay attention in school," Wolke said.
"FitKid7 - 7 Simple Steps for a Fit & Healthy Child" can be
purchased from Wolke's site -- http://www.fitkid7.com .
The site contains tips, a popular health self-quiz, information
on supplements, and an active discussion forum. There families
discuss ways to get children involved in healthier lifestyles and
ideas for improving nutrition in the family.
"A lot has been written in the media and in government reports
about our children being overweight. With this book I'm showing
families how they can easily motivate their children to lose
weight
and stay healthy for life," Wolke said.
