Harris County Hospital District has started a program to educate families about the problem of childhood obesity.
Eleven out of 15 HCHD health centers now offer a nine-week Childhood Nutrition and Exercise Program, which requires parents to attend with the child.
?We want to touch the whole family,? said Karla Phillips, health educator at HCHD?s People?s Health Center, in the press release. ?Parents are the decision-makers, and if we get them on board with making healthy decisions, the whole family benefits.?
In the first hour of the class, participants will discuss healthy decisions and planning healthy meals. The second hour will be devoted to exercise.
?We play soccer, basketball, run around the track or even play games with a giant parachute,? said Yesenia Mora, senior health educator at Baytown Health Center, in the press release. ?The key is to get the kids and their parents moving.?
Although the program itself helps participants to lose weight, the ultimate goal is to educate local families on how to live a healthier life.
