Change4Life is a nationwide movement that aims to help us all, but especially our kids, eat better, move more and live longer.
These days it’s easy to eat too much unhealthy food and get too little exercise. As a result, we end up with too much fat in our bodies.
The link between this fat and preventable illnesses such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes and cancer has been proven. Children are particularly vulnerable because the habits they get into when they are young can turn into health problems when they’re adults. In fact, if we carry on as we are, 9 out of 10 of today’s kids will grow up with dangerous levels of fat in their bodies.
Anyone can join Change4Life and it is full of lots of great information for keeping you and your children healthy.
