Healthy Lifestyles Program at Doernbecher
Childhood obesity is a growing problem. Many factors have resulted in more overweight or obese children including changes in our eating habits, physical activity and genetics.

Weight gain occurs when energy intake (food and drink) is more than energy expended (physical activity).
