  4. Why Childhood Obesity? • For our senior project, we decided to research the dilemma of childhood obesity. As statistics show, obesity is a major increasing concern in the world affecting the lives of many, especially children. • Being able to take time to teach elementary PE classes about making healthy choices and staying fit, helps impact a successful future.

  5. How Does Child Obesity Start? • Lack of physical activity, unhealthy eating habits. • Eating more at fast food places,restaurants,and drinking more sugar loaded drinks. • Not enough physical activity. • 10% of children are completely inactive.

  6. Risks and Complications that Eventually Occur • Long-term risks and complications include: • High cholesterol • Hypertension • Respiratory ailments • Orthopedic problems • Depression • Type 2 diabetes as a youth
