17% of kids aged 5-19 are overweight in the US. That is 12.5 million kids. This number has tripled in the last 20 years. Studies have shown that when parents are active participants in their child’s weight loss interventions, the adolescent is more likely to not only lose weight but also keep it off later in life. Take a walk, hike, bike ride or swim with your kids this Mothers Day. Health is the best gift of all!
