Fit for Life: Eat Smart & Exercise
There's no question that many teens are overweight and don't get enough exercise. In fact, an estimated 15% are considered obese, with the numbers growing. Even those who are thin often eat poorly. In this program, four diverse teen reporters point out the current and future dangers of an unhealthy lifestyle, such as low energy, difficulty concentrating, heart disease, cancer, osteoporosis and diabetes. To help viewers make smart choices, they give easy to use information about reading labels to check the fat and sugar in food; ways to exercise at home; eating well at fast food restaurants; changing family habits; and much more. They also visit a school that makes nutrition and fitness part of the curriculum; and a Boys & Girls Club where middle school teens learn nutrition basics and fun activities. Through humor, surprising facts and compelling personal stories, teens and parents see how they can also have more energy and self-esteem through a healthy lifestyle.
