No Decline in Cases of Childhood Obesity Despite National Efforts

Leave a comment


“When kids have access to healthier snacks, that’s what they choose.”


SALT LAKE CITY (PRWEB)

September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, childhood obesity remains an epidemic that impacts roughly 13.7 million children and adolescents. Promoting healthy eating habits in schools is more important than ever. Healthy vending is combating detrimental snacking in schools by providing healthier options.

Since the implementation of National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month in 2010, the rates of this epidemic have stopped rising. Notwithstanding these efforts, the number of children struggling with obesity in America has not declined. Obesity puts kids at risk for Type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease. Overweight children are equally at risk for health problems as they grow older. Establishing healthy eating habits early in life can help combat diet-induced diseases.

In 2014, the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) established nutritional standards for food sold in schools. The Smart Snacks in School standard places strict nutritional guidelines on food available to students. But a study from the University of Illinois found that banning vending machines and unhealthy foods in schools doesn’t make a difference in students’ diets. In fact, the study shows that banning sugary soda and snacks can actually increase the consumption of empty calories and junk food as students seek unhealthy food elsewhere when it’s not available in schools. One solution to this problem is offering healthier, less processed options in school vending machines.

Healthy YOU Vending is combating unhealthy snacking in schools by providing healthier options through its network of independent operators. “Our goal is to promote healthy lifestyles by providing our independent vending machine operators with the tools and resources needed to offer less-processed, wholesome foods to the facilities they serve, including schools,” said Healthy YOU Vending’s Director of Operator Services Jill Navidomskis. “When kids have access to healthier snacks, that’s what they choose.”

But providing healthier options in school vending machines is only one part in curbing childhood obesity. Battling this epidemic can and must also be waged at home. According to healthfinder.gov, small steps can make a big difference, such as keeping fresh fruits available and within reach, walking as a family and asking teachers and school administrators to provide healthy food options and daily physical activities for their students.

Healthy YOU Vending is the world leader in the healthy vending industry. With corporate offices in Kaysville, Utah, the Healthy YOU team is dedicated to making healthier snacks, drinks and food products more accessible to people across North America. All company vending equipment is privately manufactured in the United States at a state-of-the-art facility. Owner/Operator opportunities for serious-minded and health-conscious entrepreneurs are currently available in most states.

Blue Zones and Barry Community Foundation Launch Groundbreaking Countywide Transformation

Leave a comment


“I am impressed with the local will and drive to make Barry County a better place to live, grow up, and grow old from the community leaders as well as local changemakers.”—Ben Leedle, CEO of Blue Zones


MINNEAPOLIS (PRWEB)

The Barry Community Foundation and other local leaders have joined forces with Blue Zones to begin a countywide well-being transformation in Barry County, Michigan through the Blue Zones Activate program. Blue Zones uses scientifically proven lessons of longevity, health, and happiness to boost the well-being of entire communities. Barry County is proud to be the first community in Michigan to partner with this innovative approach to increase community health and wellness.

Blue Zones Activate is based on research and principles developed by Dan Buettner, National Geographic Fellow and New York Times bestselling author, who identified the cultures of the world—or blue zones—with the healthiest, longest-living populations.

Blue Zones focuses on the single largest determinant of our health: the place we live. By focusing on the places where people live, work, learn, and play, Blue Zones has been able to help communities move the needle in improving overall population health and reducing healthcare costs in hundreds of places around the country. The innovative strategy is built on the foundation of improving food and built environment policies that impact public health and health inequalities to increase the availability of healthy choices within the community

By optimizing the places where people spend most of their time, Blue Zones Activate helps communities with policy initiatives to create environments where healthy choices are easier and accessible to everyone. As a result, people can live longer and better, and communities can lower healthcare costs, improve productivity, and boost their city’s national recognition as a great place to live, work, and play.

As an official Blue Zones Activate community, world-renowned Blue Zones experts will work with local leaders and citizens of Barry County to implement policies that drive lasting and sustainable changes that will benefit the entire community and future generations to follow.

The Barry Community Foundation is the lead partner, with primary sponsorships from the MTC Community Fund, Spectrum Health Pennock, and Hastings Fiberglass, and supporting sponsorships from Highpoint Community Bank, Pierce Cedar Creek Institute, the DeCamp Foundation, Barry Community Foundation, Barry Eaton District Health Department and Barry County.

“The board of the Barry Community Foundation is committed to building a vibrant healthy community through our adaptation of Seven Elements of a Healthy Community. Specifically, our vision statement for Health Access is for our residents to have access to high-quality health services on a personal, community and systems level. Blue Zones is the perfect program to provide the means for our community to institute systemic pathways for a healthy community,” says Bonnie Gettys, President and CEO of the Barry Community Foundation.

Ben Leedle, CEO of Blue Zones, says: “I am impressed with the local will and drive to make Barry County a better place to live, grow up, and grow old from the community leaders as well as local changemakers. I’m excited to see the changes to come that will help make the region a healthy and thriving community for current and future generations.”

The original research and findings were released in Buettner’s bestselling books The Blue Zones Solution, The Blue Zones of Happiness, The Blue Zones, and Thrive—all published by National Geographic books. Using original Blue Zones research, Blue Zones works with cities to make healthy choices easier through permanent changes to a city’s environment, policy, and social networks. Participating communities have experienced double digit drops in obesity and tobacco use and have saved millions of dollars in healthcare costs. For more information, visit bluezones.com.

Those looking to make a healthy change through premium nutrition and exercise can get better results faster with Isagenix International’s expanded AMPED™ product line. The global health and wellness company has debuted:


  • The AMPED Next-Level Pack, which gives customers everything they need before, during, and after their workouts so they can take their goals to the next level. The pack features four products: the new AMPED Tri-Release Protein, the new AMPED Repair, AMPED Nitro, and AMPED BCAA Plus.

  • The AMPED Core Bundle, which serves as a starter set for customers seeking enhanced exercise results. The bundle features two products: Tri-Release Protein and Nitro.

The products in the pack and bundle, which can be purchased individually if desired, were designed to help customers with both nutrition and fitness:

  • AMPED Tri-Release Protein, available in Chocolate Milk Flavor or Vanilla Custard Flavor, is an anytime 25-gram three-protein blend that helps develop lean muscle and enhance strength.†

  • AMPED Nitro, available in Watermelon Flavor, is a pre-workout supplement that kick-starts workouts to sustain energy and elevate intensity.† It includes naturally sourced caffeine.
