How a Low Carb Lifestyle Can Help Your Entire Family by Henri Schauffler

How a Low Carb Lifestyle Can Help Your Entire Family

The latest challenging fact to be learned about the

great American obesity problem is that among children,

the number of clinically obese children has doubled in

the last two decades, according to the National

Institutes of Health (NIH). In fact, by 2002, NIH says

that one in five children in the US is overweight.

Obese children are also developing diseases like Type

2 Diabetes that used to only occur in adults. And

overweight kids tend to become overweight adults,

continuing to put them at greater risk for heart

disease, high blood pressure and stroke. Perhaps

potentially more devastating is that children who are

teased a lot can develop low self-esteem and

depression.

only one or more children are obese, but frequently

one or both parents are also obese. Many parents are

also at risk for Type 2 Diabetes. Even members of a

household who do not have these problems will benefit

from a low carb lifestyle because all Americans are

far too dependent on processed sugar and

carbohydrates, putting all of us at risk for obesity

and myriad other health problems. Does any of this
