Kids Win! Encourages A Healthy Diet Excessive weight gain among children and teens in America has become a serious public health problem. Recent studies show that 14 percent of children and 11 percent of adolescents are overweight. To encourage children to eat better, Registered Dietitians at Saint Barnabas devised “Kids Win!,” a Children’s Healthy Eating and Weight Loss Program designed for young people between the ages of 8 and 15. The 10-week program, held at the Medical Center, focuses on healthy eating, physical activity and behavior modification. Topics include: diet-disease connection, choosing healthy snacks, understanding portion sizes, food advertising, food labels, eating out, exercise and positive body image.
