Obesity Action Coalition

As I was doing my research today I came across a fantastic resource! The best part is they work right behind us at the office! I think this is pretty crazy! So at the Office Building where my mom's Senior Helpers Business is there is a company called the Obesity Action Coalition. I used to pass by it on my way to and from the restroom (and I was pregnant so I was always walking by the sign on the wall). I was always curious what it was they actually did with obesity. Today I got my answer! I stumbled across their website this morning and wouldn't you know they are dedicated to EDUCATING and helping fight against obesity. It is a great sight with great tools such as: BMI indicator, an Advocacy Program and tons of information. WWW.ObesityActionCoalition.ORG Check them out! They are a really neat site that is truly dedicated to helping those dealing with obesity. They are not only a site with information, but a site with a heart and passion to HELPING those dealing with obesity. It is not only affecting our children, it is affecting our families. Education is the key to beating this epidemic. Become a FREE member of the OAC and be a part of the voice.

You Are What You Eat

"You are what you eat." This is a saying we have all heard growing up. I know when I was younger I used to laugh at the idea. I used to try to imagine myself as a piece of pizza, a hot dog, or even an ice cream cone. It didn't make sense to me as a child, but now as an adult the picture is crystal clear. It is true we are what we eat! Scary isn't it?
The purpose of eating is to provide nutrients for our body so that our organs and muscles can perform their necessary duties. Our bodies need energy to operate and food is where we find that energy. The food we eat effects every organ and muscle in our body. Each nutrient, vitamin, or sugar does it's own job. Protein repairs muscles, calcium builds strong bones, vitamin B helps us fight off a cold, and carbs actually provides our bodies with the fuel it needs to perform it's daily tasks.
It seems simple doesn't it? Yet, so many people are unaware of what they are actually putting into their stomachs. They are unaware of what the by-product will do to their insides. This lack of knowledge is a huge contributing factor to the rise of childhood obesity.
