Why HBD Is Important?

I was frustrated until my “aha” moment flipping pancakes. Kids & Teens need this information ( even parents tell me they are learning), and here are a few reasons why…

• According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), approximately 17% of kids and adolescents in the US are obese
• Immediate effects of unhealthy eating patterns include malnutrition and obesity
• The Journal of the American Academy of Pediatrics indicates an increased prevalence of chronic diseases among children
• 80% of children do not get the recommended five servings of fruit and vegetables a day

How can we expect our kids to maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle if we don’t teach them to be aware of how food affects our bodies?

Dismayed at statistics about the epidemic of childhood obesity and increased illnesses among children as a result of malnutrition, I teamed up with a colleague who holds a master’s degree in education from Stanford and together we created a comprehensive elementary school curriculum for third through fifth graders based on the books I had written.

Finally, I had what I’d originally been looking for—a fun, interactive way to engage students and aid them in understanding their body functions and healthy lifestyle choices. And this led to middle and high school courses, which mean just as much to me especially Know your body, period.

Happy Digesting!

PS I want to thank everyone who has helped and supported me through the years. I appreciate all of you and look forward to learning more about how HBD has helped your family!
