The latest issue: Healthy Living for Youth
|
 For the first time in recent history, kids living in the United States have a shorter life expectancy than their parents. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, the "current epidemic of inactivity and the associated epidemic of obesity are being driven by multiple factors ...and must be addressed likewise on several fronts." For youth to be truly "healthy," many factors must be addressed, beyond body mass index or level of physical activity. Research by Girl Scouts USA suggest that today's girls place the same value on emotional well-being and self-esteem as they do on diet and exercise. Many programs take this holistic approach to health, focusing on issues such as family life and human relations, mental/emotional health, physical health/disease prevention, substance abuse prevention, bullying, dating and sexuality, eating disorders, and safety.
