The Cost of Obesity

11/02/2010 by admin.

Once again the continued rise in the number of people with obesity and cost to the Health Service has hit the news.  So why are we getting it wrong and where does it go wrong?

The problems starts at a young age because we pick up bad eating habits from our parents so in the first instance it is up to parents to keep food in perspective. 

• Don’t always reward with food.
• Don’t always celebrate with food.
• Don’t commiserate with food.
• Don’t make a big deal out of your children clearing their plates

As a society we need to get a grip on this but it’s down to each individual to do their bit and seek the help they need.
