Diet and Your Emotions : Obesity- Modern-Day Epidemic Series

We've all heard the latest research reported in the news: Americans are overweight--and obesity has health implications as serious as smoking.

What's more, our young people are at risk; 15 percent of all children between the ages of six and nineteen are overweight, and their numbers are growing.

OBESITY: MODERN-DAY EPIDEMIC takes a look at this urgent issue from various perspectives.

Consistent from book to book is the outlook that this is a lifestyle issue, and all of us are at risk.

These books do not perpetuate the myth that each individual must conform to the media images of super-thin models.

Instead, the books' timely information empowers readers to make necessary lifestyle choices, choices that will ensure a lifetime of good health.
