  COLLEGE STATION - Childhood obesity is no laughing matter."Supersize portions are leading to supersize kids and supersize health problems," said Dr. Debra Reed, Texas Cooperative Extension nutrition specialist."According to the 1999-2000 National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 15 percent of children and adolescents from 6 to 19 years old are overweight," she said.
  ...
  Obese children often grow into obese adults, and obesity in adults has been linked to many serious health issues, Reed and Green wrote in an article for Child Care Connections Newsletter.
  ...
  Gloomy as the outlook is, Reed and Green said it doesn't have to be that way.
  ...
  "Regular physical activity is extremely important for the prevention of overweight and obesity," Reed said.In addition to promoting healthy bones and muscles, improving balance and coordination, and building self-esteem, physical activity "decreases the risk of developing serious health problems in later years," she added.Try for at least an hour of this kind of activity each day, she recommended, but those 60 minutes can be broken up into 15- or 30-minute increments.
  
  - Limit screen time.
  ...
  Go to http://www.usda.gov/news/usdakids/food pyr.html for information on making good nutritional choices for children, Reed said.
  
  "Make sure that you offer children a variety of foods from all of the food groups and that you provide age-appropriate portion sizes."
  
  - Cut back on consumption of sugar-based drinks, including sodas, since these drinks have been linked to high amounts of unnecessary sugar in children's diets.Instead, have plenty of water, 100 percent fruit juice and low-fat milk on hand.
  
  "Even healthy beverages should be consumed in moderate amounts, (so) watch portion sizes so excess calories are not consumed," Reed said.
  
  - Eat more meals at home as a family for better nutrition and more opportunities for family communication, Reed said.
  
  - Set a good example.
  ...
  "Making healthier food choices and increasing physical activity will have benefits for the whole family, regardless of family members' weight status," Reed said.
