Are there any organization out there for child obesity research? There is a project called the Childhood Obesity Research Demonstration Project also know as (CORD). The CORD is a business relationship between the Harvard University and Massachusetts children’s hospitals. The CORD project studies children between two through twelve year olds. By doing research on these children they hope to stop all disease issues and obesity problem within these children.
What is the CORD program doing to help stop child obesity? The CORD group has received funding from the Affordable Care Act to do research on obese children. In 2011 the CORD group gatherer four children with obesity problems and with the money from the Affordable Care Act the studied the child's day to day life. The project focused mainly on what the child ate, where they lived, and what type of activities did the child do. They thought that these three things would be the main role the child's life.
After studying the children for some time, they came up with the main things the child needs to do to stay healthy and fit. The children need to increase their physical activity and eat more fruits, vegetables, and drink healthier beverages. They found the children do not get enough sleep so the child needs to go to bed earlier and get more sleep. The child need to decrease the time spent looking at a screen time and they need to drink less sugary drinks and energy-dense foods and drink more water. All of these things should help children stay for fit and in shape and take the rates of child obesity down.
I like to see that there are many projects out trying to help and stop child obesity. Child obesity is a big problem and everybody needs to realize this. I think that it is great that companies are donating money toward projects are and trying to find a way to stop child obesity. I think that this project was a great thing, but they need to get kids to do the things that they suggest. It’s great research, but now they actually have to get the kids to do these things to stop child obesity.
