National Child Health Day, Oct 5

October 5, 2009 is National Child Health Day

According to HHS, recent studies suggest that 1 in 6 U.S. children between 2 and 19 is overweight. Childhood obesity is an even more serious – and growing – health concern for children and adolescents. In less than 30 years, obesity has more than doubled among children ages 2-5 and more than tripled among youth ages 6-11 and adolescents ages 12-19.

GoodHealthTV™ has entertaining and educational programming for children to help them learn about proper nutrition.

Watch Iktomi and his family stay on track with their health. Everybody's eating healthy and feeling good about their progress. Maisy gives a presentation about food using information she found online.
