You Can Fix The Fat From Childhood & Other Heart Disease Risks, Too

About the Book

• You Can Fix The Fat From Childhood promotes family-focused comprehensive knowledge and behaviors with an eye toward preventing early disability and death from heart disease. • Heart disease risk factors “show” in early childhood. • Learning to adopt healthy lifestyles – that’s prevention! • Health doesn’t come in a bottle, and you cannot buy it in a drug store or at the supermarket! You have to work at it. • Slim, trim, toned, and fit – desired “look” not easy but achievable! • Decide to tackle the fat: prevent it, control it, exercise it. • We can fix the fat! Dr. Shiriki Kumanyika, associate dean at University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, said on the acclaimed HBO special, “The weight of the nation is out of control, but we can fix that.”
