  4. Statistics • U.S. Prevalence Over the past three decades, the childhood obesity rate has more than doubled for preschool children aged 2-5 years and adolescents aged 12-19 years, and it has more than tripled for children aged 6-11 years. At present, approximately nine million children over 6 years of age are considered obese.

  6. How Does This Impact Your Students? • Sub-optimal diets, inactivity, and hunger are also affecting our children’s ability to learn. Poorly nourished children are often tired, apathetic, and unable to concentrate. This also contributes to illness and absences. • When children are active, their academic performance improves. “Nearly 200 studies on the effect of exercise on cognitive functioning suggest that physical activity supports learning” http://www.actionforhealthykids.org/docs/pe_ba_jun.pdf • Again, weight is a part, but health and wellness are the goals.
