Weight Loss > Children & Weight Loss

It is no secret that 1 in 4 children are obese or that the health risks overweight and obese children face are enormous. Type 2 diabetes, depression, intestinal problems, sleep apnea and even cancer and stroke are a real threat to overweight children.  

You have to lead by example. Children with one overweight parent are 40% more likely to become obese than those without an overweight parent. When both parents are overweight the risk jumps to 80% for their children, although it has been recognized that parents also often don't see their own children as being overweight or obese even though they are.  

Many obese parents learned their bad eating habits during their childhood. The cycle can be broken for your children though. In fact, even adults can learn good eating habits so that they can set a good example for their children.  

A family-based approach to treating overweight children is critical in attaining success. MinDshape offers individual and family nutritional counseling, fitness suggestions and customized diet plans for not only for overweight children but their parents and siblings as well.  

Your child can become the healthy, happy child you want him or her to be, free from the extra pounds that negatively impact both the body and the mind. In addition to nutritional counseling we'll help you identify family-friendly ways of exercising that will be enjoyable to you and your children.
