Childhood Obesity Prevention- Get Up and Play LPGA (Spanish)

Childhood Obesity Prevention- Get Up and Play LPGA (Spanish)

About 9 million children over the age of 6 are considered overweight in this country. The American obesity epidemic has been passed to our youngest generation. Overweight children are at far greater risk of developing some chronic diseases, including Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease.
