NEA Today Extra - March 2005
Battling Childhood Obesity
You've heard the alarm, but it bears repeating: Some 18 million kids are now officially overweight or obese, and the numbers are growing so fast that many are calling it a national crisis. Can educators do anything to reserve the tide? The March NEA Today cover story looks at school-based health programs and nutrition policies that are making a difference. Here are more resources to help you fight the battle of the bulge in your school.
Visit the SmartBODY Fitness Information Center, an NEA Health Information Network Web site devoted to fitness, weight management, and stress reduction. Educators can tap into model fitness programs, lesson plans, and discussion forums.
Calculate your body mass index. Stop guessing whether you or your students are in the danger zone and learn what it really means to be overweight or obese.
