Obesity and Health Education
Journal Title: Annales Universitatis Paedagogicae Cracoviensis. Studia ad Didacticam Biologiae Pertinentia. - Year 2013, Vol 0, Issue
Abstract
A general perception of obesity in children has been changing over a period of time. Particularly in our culture, it is essential that proper health education be implemented and that school and government organizations as well as the mass media are the key propagators of the good attitude towards health. In this respect, school should act prophylactically in relation to students' health and promote a healthy life style. Currently, one observes an increasing number of overweight and obese individuals suffering from weight-related disorders, which has now become a global problem. One of the purposes the health education serves is to alert young individuals to potential health problems that result from both unbalanced diet and unhealthy life style.
