<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:1 5; ">America�s children
are getting fatter, and Needham is not immune. A consequence of children
getting heavier and is that they are suffering from adult diseases such as adult
onset diabetes, high cholesterol and high blood pressure. These are serious
lifelong health concerns, which can often be avoided with better nutrition.</p>
<b>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:1 5; "> </p>
</b>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:1 5; ">There are a variety
of reasons why the weight of Americans is rising. One is that in our
fast-moving lives, processed foods (which tend to be larger portions than we
need, high in calories and artery clogging fat) are consumed in large
quantities, while fresh homemade foods are becoming a thing of the past.
Secondly, most people (especially children) do not get enough exercise as we are
often parked in front of a television, computer or video game screen for many
hours, not moving. We tend to drive our cars rather than walk to school, the
stores or even our friends� houses. Family mealtime is going by the wayside.
Individual family members eat at different times, eating whatever they can heat
up, �drive- thru� or eat quickly. </p>

By using these drink alternatives, your kids will get more nutrition, rather
than the �empty� and high calorie soda�s and juice drinks they may be consuming
now. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children ages 1-6 years
old should choose 100% juice but limit intake to 4-6 ounces a day and children
7-18 years limit to 8-12 ounces a day. Excessive juice (even 100% juice), juice
drinks, and soda intake can lead to many negative health consequences in
children and adults, one being overweight.</i></font></p>
