Mr. Cohen had this to say concerning the current epidemic:

Over the past 30 years, childhood obesity has more than tripled. More than one third of children and adolescents are currently overweight or obese in the US. Its reached epidemic proportions and the health consequences are immense.

People were significantly more active in the past. Children walked to school, participated in gym class and played outside for hours before dinner. Meals were typically home cooked with reasonable portion sizes and included fruits and vegetables. Fast food was rare as was snacking between meals.

Today, kids get a ride to school, physical education and after-school sports have been cut, afternoons are spent playing video games or surfing online. The average 18 year old spends 7.5 hours a day using a TV, computer, video game or cell phone. Parents work more to make ends meet and families eat fewer home-cooked meals with far larger portion sizes. Caloric intake has risen by 31% from forty years ago over half from fats and oils. Sweetened beverages have increased in portion size to an average of 20 ounces and the average American ingests 15 extra pounds of sugar than forty years ago.

According to Jeff Cohen, Co-Owner of the Fitness Compound Santa Clarita, Childhood obesity causes a myriad of immediate health effects, as quoted from http://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/obesity/facts.htm including:

Obese youth are more at risk to develop cardiovascular disease such as high cholesterol or high blood pressure

Obese adolescents are more likely to have pre-diabetes

Greater risk for bone and joint problems and sleep apnea

Social and psychological problems such as poor self-esteem, ostracism and bullying

The long-term health effects are chilling:

Children and adolescents who are obese are likely to be obese adults and therefore suffer from heart disease, type 2 diabetes, stroke and osteoarthritis.

Several cancers are associated with obesity including breast, colon, kidney, pancreas, thyroid, ovary,cervix, prostate as well as multiple melanoma and Hodgkins lymphoma.

Children who are obese as early as age 2 are more likely to become obese adults. Its reached epidemic proportions. These are the main reasons why we have created the programs we have, For The Kids.

Mr. Cohen said he would be happy to share his Fun Formula to any fitness club in America who has a desire to reach out to the youth of this country. He can be contacted at:
