Boston (HealthKnowItAll) - America is taking a stand when it comes to obesity and children.
Major insurance companies and health groups are joining together to provide services to help those children who are obese, and to take a proactive approach to curb obesity before it even occurs.
Under their joint efforts, initiatives will be put into place to curb obesity in children by providing access to prevention options including consultations with diatitions, multiple yearly doctor visits, and education dealing with healthy living.
More than 1 third of US children are considered overweight or obese, a fact that is ominous for their future.
Being overweight or obese as a child, can only raise health risks when that child becomes an adult.
These health risks include, but are not limited to diabetes, heart disease, stroke, hypertention and so on.
