MICHELLE OBAMA: Swivelled her hips doing Hula Hoop
WELLNESS — By MainStreetMantra Desk on October 21, 2009 at 3:04 pm
PLAYING MANY ROLES
Michelle Obama swivelled her hips 142 times during a hula hoop demonstration at a healthy kids fair on the White House South Lawn. She had worse luck, however, when she attempted to skip double-dutch style.
The fair was designed to promote healthy eating and exercise for America’s children. She also urged those in attendance, mostly local students, not to whine when vegetables appear on their plate.
Mrs Obama has made healthy nutrition and combating childhood obesity priorities during her time as first lady.

You really make good articles I would say. This is the first time I visited your site and so far I am impressed with the research you made to make this article awesome. Good Job!
I stumbled on this blog a couple weeks back and I absolutely cannot get enough! Please keep writing!
Obesity is a problem of energy balance, wherein adipose tissue stores accumulate to excess levels when expenditure does not keep up with intake. At present, approximately 65% of american adults are either overweight (=25 kg/m2) or obese (=30 kg/m2), and approximately 15% of american children are similarly categorized (by age-adjusted percentiles of weight for height). This situation reflects the high-energy efficiency of american life, where little physical effort is needed for work and recreation, and where the national diet is abundant in low-cost, energy-dense food. Popular approaches to weight control have been generally unsuccessful, despite constant publicity about the problem and considerable individual efforts at weight loss. The health consequences of obesity (e. , diabetes, cancer, heart disease) are predicted to grow worse. Type 2 diabetes rates are rising in adults and children, and a substantial increase in morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular disease is expected. Furthermore, obesity has been linked to the development of several types of cancer. Ultimately, resolution of the obesity epidemic at the population level will depend on individual behavioral change that takes place within the larger societal environment. Such changes may be facilitated through better medical therapies. However, technologies and tools to more easily monitor behavior and achieve treatment goals are also needed.
