Pediatric Obesity
Pediatric obesity is a term that is becoming increasingly common. What used to be an anomaly--a child who weighs at least 20 percent more than is healthy--is now increasingly commonplace. In addition
increased health risks and decreased life span of overweight children, there is also
not-inconsiderable social stigma attached to being heavy. These children tend to withdraw into themselves, becoming shy, uncomfortable, and solitary. Clearly, an overweight child is dealing with a number of issues concerning all areas of health: emotional and mental, as well as physical. Now, people want to know: what is causing this distressing trend? Can anything be done to stop it?
What Is
Cure for Pediatric Obesity?
Experts on pediatric obesity have been working non-stop for years to unravel this mystery. They have had worldwide support, since obese children imply great social health concerns long into
future. Fortunately, new light has been shed on this problem.
Experts such as Dr. Anhalt,
director of pediatric endocrinology at
St. Barnabas Medical Center, believe a solution has been found. Dr. Anhalt has noticed that obese children are remarkably deficient in some very basic vitamins and minerals, and that getting
child's body back into balance can make a world of difference. As such, this esteemed doctor has developed a formula called "EssentiaLean," which supplies children with
nutrients they need, which, when combined with better eating and exercise habits, will reverse
weight-gaining trend and lead to a much healthier and happier life.
