Florida Today – Margaret Nemethy
September is National Childhood Obesity Prevention month, with the final Saturday celebrated as Family Health and Fitness day. National Childhood Obesity Month was created to raise awareness of our childhood obesity problem. One in 5 children in the United States is obese. The Family Health and Fitness Day initiative was designed to encourage families to embrace physical activity together. With these initiatives in place, there’s no better time than September to focus on healthy activities and initiatives for you and your family.
