Hi guys.

I'm Dr Griffiths, Dr Deborah Griffis.

Today we're going to talk about a medical problem that

we can all easily develop if we're not careful and

don't pay attention to what we eat and how active

we are.

In addition to learning some new words today, As I

said, I'm Dr Griffiths.

I'm an emergency physician.

So when I'm in the emergency department, I treat kids.

I treat adults.

I treat patients that may have problems because they've made

bad choices.

I treat people with bee stings with cuts or or

brick broken bones.

But I also treat some people that may have high

blood pressure, diabetes and things that can come from obesity.

So today we're going to talk about preventing obesity.

And when it starts, of course, is sometimes when we're

Children and when we're young.

So we're gonna learn today about preventing childhood obesity so

that we don't develop problems later in life, and we

can help and prevent those problems.

So let's start by moving.

We have an initial video from Black Panther from YouTube,

and I'd like to share that and have you all

get up with your parents and your sisters and your

brothers and let's move.

How was that, guys?

Do you have a lot of fun?

Good. So one and three Children are overweight.

It's unfortunate, but we all have to deal with it.

And what we like to do is learn some ways

today that we can prevent developing obesity.

Let's talk about what is that?

What is being overweight?

It's actually being over and having more weight than we

should have on our bones and in our bodies.

So when we go to the doctor, the doctor has

a tape measure where they measure your heights when you're

a little baby, and now they probably have you stand

up and measure your height.

But they also have a scale where they'll weigh you

and make sure that you are actually within the average

range of what you should be for your height and

your weight for your age and for your sex.

And so what we'd like to do is make sure,

and your doctor wants to make sure that you're at

a healthy weight as you're growing up.

What things do we do that we can prevent?

We know what prevention is.

Prevention is stopping something from happening.

So every day we do things to prevent things from

happening, how we prevent ourselves from missing the bus.

We wake up on time.

How do we prevent ourselves from getting a bad grade

at school?

We study.

How do we prevent ourselves from getting wet in the

rain? What?

We take an umbrella or we have a little hoody

or a raincoat?

Correct. So what are some of the things that we

can do to prevent medical conditions?

One thing is preventing childhood obesity is what we're talking

about today, and we can prevent developing conditions like diabetes,

heart disease, kidney disease and strokes.

And you probably know some of these things from parents.

If you have family members that may be, can't use

an arm or a leg or they can't speak clearly

because they've had a condition which is called a stroke.

And a lot of times this has brought on by

high blood pressure and things that are caused by obesity.

But if we do prevent childhood obesity, were some of

the things that we can benefit from that we can

benefit from strong bones Ah, healthy body, Ah, healthy brain

and great greats.

So let's start with our next video and move a

little bit more and we're gonna use.

Actually, we're gonna see a YouTube video called Physical Activity

for Kids and going to do a few more activities

to move our bodies today.

How was that Have that cool.

So what is some of the ways that we can

practice healthy habits for a healthy body?

We can start by having and making sure that we

have smart, healthy food choices, daily exercise and making sure

that we have 8 to 12 hours of sleep every

night. So that means listening to your mom and your

dad when they say no more videos, time to go

to bed, making sure you do your homework and making

sure you get to bed so you can rest.

I think last year we talked about what's the first

thing you need to start with in the morning to

make yourself nice, healthy, awake and ready for school.

You're right.

Breakfast. So let's take a look at this video from

YouTube but also talks about making that first healthy choice.

Don't start your great day without him.

Right? Breakfast.

So after you have breakfast, you've done a couple of

things at school, and now you're ready for a break

or a snack.

What are some nice healthy snack choices?

Fruits, Which could be apples, pears, peaches, oranges, milk, salary,

vegetables, carrots.

I want you later to make a list and go

over those with your teacher, but during the day, there's

some important things we should do.

We should have three healthy meals per day.

One the two snacks per day and make sure when

you're eating that you're knowing what you're eating.

So read the labels.

If you get a snack bar, read the label and

know how much sugar is in here.

How much fat is in here?

Is this something that's really good for me to eat

or not?

When you go to the store with your parents, read

labels and make sure you're helping your mom and your

dad make healthy.

Grocery choice is, and also make sure that you're helping

your parents plan bills.

So plan some healthy meals, maybe help your mom or

dad cook healthy meals.

Okay, what are some bad food choices?

We all know those because we all love bad food

choices, even me.

So my favorite is chocolate or chocolate chip cookies or

cake, but pizza, ice cream, hamburgers, fries.

We can eat them sometimes, but we can't make those

bad choices all the times or else we're not healthy.

Is that right?

Alright, so go over some of those with your teacher

also. So what are some good food choices from our

food groups?

We can look at this plate and see that the

food groups and they are proteins, vegetables, fruit and dairy.

What if some grains?

That's bread, oatmeal, cereal, rice.

Those air grains that you can eat proteins are meats,

poultry, fish, nuts, tofu, beans, eggs.

And, if you're vegetarian, those air.

Other options.

Tofu, beans and eggs for you.

Toe protein.

What are some vegetables that we all love?

Broccoli, green beans, peas, lettuce and corn.

There are many more that you can write down with

your teacher, some options or fruits that we've already talked

about. Her apples, oranges, pears, mangoes, grapes, kiwi.

You can eat all kinds of fruits and the dairy

options or milk cheese yogurt, but many more that I

know you can come up with and even ice cream

is a dairy option.

But not for all the time.

So what?

In addition to making healthy food choices, what should we

do? We should exercise every day at least 60 minutes

per day or for five days a week or 75

minutes for three days a week.

And you can do this with your parents with your

sisters, with your brother at school.

But we need to get in 300 minutes per week,

so sometimes it's good to write it on your phone

on your notes.

Write it down in a book or a tablet.

Maybe you can even make a board that you all

have it home, and you all make a competition at

home between your family, your parents, you relatives and make

sure that you're all exercising and making sure you're getting

in those 300 minutes.

So let's do a little more exercise.

Now. We're gonna look at another video from YouTube, which

is, kids work out for legs and back.

How is that?

Lots of fun.

Sometimes you get a little bit tired, but you have

to keep going.

So physical activity with that physical activity, what does that

do? We can develop better grades.

We have better attendance at school.

It helps with our memory, and it also helps with

our health.

There are five steps to being healthy.

Can we go over?

These one is move every day.

Try new fruits and vegetables every day, drink lots of

water. You can do jumping taps or any kind of

exercise. I mean, it could be push ups, um, planks,

arm circles.

But do something either.

When you're doing your homework when you're taking a break

from your homework, when you just need to get up

and walk around and help make dinner, help make lunch.

Help your parents shop.

But these air simple ways to help develop a healthy

body and keep healthy.

Uh huh.

So let's look at this.

Our prior first lady, Michelle Obama was very active with

making sure that we all moved our bodies and trying

to prevent childhood obesity.

So let's take a look at her video that talks

about eat right eating right and being active, develop, help

the body to develop a healthy body.

Wasn't that really cool?

One of the last things I'd like to go over

with you is the last YouTube video, and it looks

at meditation and relaxing your body after you've done all

your exercise, or even in the morning before you're going

to school or before you're going to bed.

It's always nice to relax your mind and after you've

exercised to relax your mind.

So this is a body scan meditation, and it's a

mindfulness boot camp.

So let's take a few moments, do this routine, and

then after that, I want you to be prepared to

get back to all of your work in school.

And remember, healthy habits and a healthy body can prevent

childhood obesity.

And that's one of the things I want you to

always remember.

The doctor, Griff has told you.

Eat healthy, stay active and prevent childhood obesity.

Thanks a lot.
