Teenage
obesity: a risk for life
|
|
Children who
are obese between 11 and 15 years old double their risk
of dying before 50.* This is very worrying indeed and
we must minimize that risk.
Will you help
us?
Obesity has risen sharply with the mushrooming of fast food
outlets on the city's streets and the drop in outdoor exercise.
A combination of busy streets, pollution and the attractions
of the computer screen have all contributed. What can be
done to show reluctant youth how cool it feels to be fit
and how much good it can do their self esteem? |
The Federation
has just begun an exciting new programme: one hundred outdoor
winter youth activities, making the most of Hong Kong's marvellous
natural environment. The first is HKFYG's Youth Challenge:
Multisport Adenture Race in Sai Kung next week, an exhilarating
experience for participants. We would love to involve you
in our plans for eco-tours, sports climbing and orienteering
events, to name just a few.
Call Bonnie in Partnership, 2123 9598, to find out more.
See below for comments from parents, teachers
and Chung Kin-man, the well-loved mountaineer.

parents and teachers in the war on fat

between health, nutrition and exercise. Too much of anything
– the wrong food or the wrong exercise - is bad for you.
We talked about strategies to parents, teachers and a great
role model for Hong Kong, the mountaineer and endurance
walker, Chung Kin-man. Read
