Beverage Consumption: Results from Alaska PRAMS 2005-2006 and Its Three-Year

An Alaskan research concluded that children who suffer obesity were most likely born
before the full eight pregnancy months, could have suffered domestic violence at a young
age or it was an after effect of low income and the decisions from the parents behalf. The
high obesity rates vary based on the childs race and hometown.

This article explains the obesity effects and an explanation of why the child developed
obesity at such a young age. I can compare and group all leading causes and effects of
obesity with more articles and books. This strategy may create a positive impact on the
reader assuming he or she knows very little regarding obesity in children and why it is
important to be aware of it.

This scholarly article is about an experiment done to prevent babies on becoming obese.
Its a 1000 day plan that includes food plans and certain preventions for Hispanic
pregnant mothers. The article also includes additional leading causes to obesity.

I plan on gathering information and comparing the main ideas back to the first source
which mentions a question such as Do race/ethnicity have anything to do with child
obesity? This article focuses on Hispanic woman and I can find more information about
this specific aspect. The reader may now be aware if ethnicity may contribute to obesity
and he or she may spread awareness to his or her loved ones.

Reducing childhood obesity: public-private partnerships to improve nutrition and increase

physical activity in children Tuesday, October 5, 2004

This article describes many ideas made by professionals on reducing obesity. Tips are
given regarding health. For example, how to eat, what to eat, how to exercise, how to
exercise and how to maintain the good habits. The variety of authors allows their readers
to look at many different point of views about health education, labor and pensions.

This article can help me establish a good proposal that will be successful. Child obesity is
a big problem in the United States, however, there are many reasons of why children end
up with obesity and other chronic diseases. I can propose ways of changing a poor diet
lifestyle to a healthy forever lifestyle. I can quote professionals which will make my work
credible.

Davis, A. (1972). Lets Get Well: New York, NY: The New American Library, Inc.

This book describes many ways of getting an ill body back into full health and
maintaining it that way. It only includes a couple of chapters of just obesity but it does
offer many illnesses and the causes, often obesity itself. It also thoroughly explains how
to eliminate this illness by time with food plans, exercise schedules and sleeping
information.

I plan on finding existing cures to certain illnesses that obesity may carry and applying
the solutions to my research paper. This could strengthen my proposal and allow people
to comprehend there are many possible solutions on curing obesity and preventing it as
well. I could also explain what other illnesses are linked to obesity and how to correct
their eating, sleeping and exercises lifestyles.

This website includes reasons of why obesity happens to certain individuals and how it

patients in which in many situations it is easier to listen and get help from real people
who have experienced obesity themselves. This webpage includes a lot of more
information about the wrong and right food, unneeded medication and advice from real
doctors.

I plan on learning about patients themselves and how they ended up being obese. This
can really appeal to the audience in an ethical manner. I can also include advice from
doctors and compare all my sources to where all my causes, effects and solutions will
work on an individual suffering from obesity as well as to inform them and their family
or any reader in general.
