Childhood Obesity

Citing numerous studies, the Mayo Clinic reports that childhood obesity has more than tripled in the past generation, and nearly 20% of youths aged 12-19 are overweight, with obesity increasing from 5% in 1980 to 18.1% in 2008. Obesity among the 6-11 age group has increased from 6.5% in 1980 to 19.6% in 2008.

Obesity is the result of a simple formula: too many calories in and too little calories burned. Clearly our more sedentary lifestyle is a contributing factor, but genetics and, especially diet, play significant roles. The fact remains: childhood obesity must be addressed.

Risks:

... more likely to have cardiovascular disease such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol. (In one study of 5-17 year olds, 70% had at least one risk factor for cardiovascular disease.)

... increased risk for bone and joint problems, sleep apnea, respiratory problems, depression, diabetes, and social and psychological problems such as low self-esteem.

... more than 70% chance of becoming overweight adults and risk heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, several types of cancer and osteoarthritis.

Causes:

... lack of physical activity

too much TV, video, other sedentary activities, lack of walking, etc. (studies estimate US children spend 25% of their time watching TV/video games)

... unhealthy eating patterns

too much sugar, eating out, skipping breakfast

HOW HYPNOSIS CAN HELP:

... children make excellent hypnotic subjects as hypnotic ability actually peaks in childhood

... hypnosis reaches the part of the brain that directs hunger and behavior
