1 in 3 American Children Can Be Medically Classified As Severely Overweight Or Obese

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Doylestown, Pennsylvania, United States of America (Free-Press-Release.com) July 20, 2011 -- Philly Hypnosis launches it’s own “Let’s Move” campaign to overcome childhood obesity starting with the parent.

Doylestown, PA, July 20, 2011, The First Lady’s “Let’s Move” campaign may be easier said than done for the millions of overweight and obese parents trying to help their children reverse their obesity issues. Parents who are overweight, and have created an overweight lifestyle for their families, may not have the tools they need to overcome childhood obesity in their own homes.

As many as one in three American children can be medically classified as severely overweight or obese, and this figure is predicted to rise to 15 million obese children in our country by 2020. Experts predict that up to 50% of all children born after 2000 will become diabetics. In 2008, health professionals announced the most sobering prediction of all – that for the first time in 100 years, a generation of children may not live as long as their parents because of obesity. We must act now to stop this prediction from becoming a reality.

Unhealthy diets and inactive lifestyles are the next biggest cause of preventable death after smoking in America. Government campaigns have seen tobacco use gradually drop, and it is time to embrace the “Let’s Move” initiative and see the obesity statistics move in the same direction.

Todd Stofka, founder of Philly Hypnosis, announced today that starting in August, Philly Hypnosis will be running a special “Let’s Move” campaign of its own. Stofka says, “Our goal is to educate parents on proper nutrition for them and their children and help them to lose any excess weight so that they can be the model by which their children can live a healthy lifestyle. We believe through the use of Hypnotherapy, which is as an excellent weight loss management tool and unlike any other treatment because it works by changing the way you think and feel, not only about food, but about yourself, we can attack childhood obesity from the parents on down to the children.”

Now is the time to move out of our seats, get proactive and make a positive change for the future of our health and our children. Sign up to join us in August by visiting our website: http://www.thebestweightlosssolution.com or calling us at 1-877-410-0175.
