fight against obesity, and are tax deductible.
According to the American Obesity Association, obesity in children and
adolescents is a serious issue with many health and social consequences that
often continue into adulthood. National statistics report that 25 million children
in the United States are obese or at risk of becoming obese. These children
need your help.
Although, implementing prevention programs and getting a better
understanding of treatment for youngsters can be instrumental in controlling
the obesity epidemic; teaching healthy behaviors at a young age is important
since change becomes more difficult with age. Behaviors involving physical
activity and nutrition are the cornerstone of preventing obesity in children and
adolescents. The HUSH Foundation is committed to providing help for those
behaviors.
