With Physical Education being taken out of schools along with current lifestyle choices, studies show that the younger generation is at risk of becoming the 1st generation to be buried by their parents. Do you live in a Healthy Household? When was the last time you have been to the doctor? Are you at risk of developing juvenile diabetes? Do you love to pig out on fast food and snacks all day? Are you getting enough exercise throughout the day? Chances are, if you were born in the 1990's you are part of the growing epidemic of childhood obesity. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, "16 percent of U.S. children (over 9 million) between the ages of 6 and 19 are overweight or obese. Meanwhile, over the past three decades, the childhood obesity rate has more than doubled for preschool children aged 2-5 years and adolescents aged 12-19 years, and it has more than tripled for children aged 6-11 years." Although childhood obesity is a major health risk for today's youth, you do not have to be overweight to be at risk of developing serious health problems. Lifestyle choices along with improper nutrition and a lack of physical activity are the main factors our youth are in a State of Emergency.
How does the first sentence make you feel? Do you consider yourself to be a healthy person, or could you be at risk of developing health problems at a young age?

I feel so hurt because I know my mom would be so hurt because she loves me. I don't won't that kind of sorrow on her because she might try to commit suicide. It will make me exercise more and eat healthier. I love her so much.
