New Obesity Strategy in the UK and Free book on Childhood Obesity and Adult life
Did you know England just passed a law banning Fast food high fat, salt sugar food ads on Primetime television? There may also be a ban on buy one and get one free deal for such food. Definitely a good idea.
Children watching such ads are more likely to choose unhealthy food options and eat out more often at fast food places. The calorie content of meals indoors is usually less than that at restaurants. The only way to stop the spiraling numbers of the obesity pandemic is to fight it right.
The UK government feels that by focusing on children even the parents will understand the value of healthy food every day. A new obesity strategy unveiled, as the country is urged to lose weight and live healthy to beat COVID19. The strategy by UL government plans to focus on both childhood and adult obesity as a whole.
It’s not just about now, but the future.

Some books want to be written. Some books are there in your heart, but don’t want to appear in the real world. Some books are just afraid to be!
Childhood Obesity and adult life: Powerful truths no one told you!
This book is a part of the last category I mentioned.
The Amazon.com link and below you will find the Amazon.in link. It’s free to read on Kindle Unlimited the world over.
It’s a short, nonfiction. But it took me a long time to write it. Its technically my first book in the Nutrition secrets series, but is finally seeing the light of the day as the fifth book in the series.
Childhood obesity is a pandemic. Ironically, I finished writing a book on a pandemic during another pandemic. The elephant in the room though is the word pandemic.
A disease that spreads in multiple geographical regions simultaneously.
Not respecting the borders of nations and with not a care in the world. Pandemics are not worried about how many lives the effect, how many people fall on the way.
But we do.That’s why this book.
This is a step by step book of the obesity problem. The aim is to help prevent childhood obesity’s cruel grasp. But it addresses all the issues that cause obesity.
The last section deals with the misconceptions about the food we eat.
I have included tools, resources, and calculators to help you take the next step in getting back the control as a parent.
Awareness is empowerment. But the difficult work starts with you reading and implementing the book.
My Pediatrician husband edited the book. His interest in eating right and daily habits helped me unlearn many of my own not so helpful lifestyle.
Ultimately it’s your lifestyle, the food you put inside your body, and how much you move to help you get fitter.
It’s not too late to start. Ever.
It’s about starting whenever, wherever you are, with the resources you have. I promise it will help.
