On this first day of Obesity Care Week, please read these Five Principles of Obesity. Working together, "We can change the way we care about obesity!"

Through our work at the State of Childhood Obesity, we’ve been striving to change the way we think and talk about childhood obesity to do better for our country’s families and children. And today, I’m asking you to do the same. This Obesity Care Week, learn more about how we can eliminate weight discrimination and consider taking the pledge to change how we care for obesity: https://lnkd.in/e3A8JHTZ

September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month! 📣Why does it matter? Childhood Obesity Leads to Chronic Illnesses. 📣How? Excess weight can lead to insulin resistance, high blood pressure, and inflammation in the body—factors that contribute to diabetes and heart disease even at a young age. 📣The good news is childhood obesity is preventable through a multidisciplinary approach, starting with a supportive home and building within the community without bias or stigma.
