Watch out for salt

The maximum amount of salt children should be having varies by age:

· 4 to 6 years - 3 g a day

· 7 to 10 years - 5 g a day

· 11 year upwards - 6 g a day

There's no need to add salt to your child's food. If you're buying processed foods, even those aimed at children, remember to check the information given.





Child obesity rates have trebled over the past 20 years; 10 per cent of six-year-olds and 17 per cent of 15-year-olds are now considered obese. Last year, a government report predicted that this would rise to 26 per cent of children by 2050. The report also warned of the life-threatening problems of childhood obesity and predicted a 70 per cent rise in type 2 diabetes, a 30 per cent increase in strokes and a 20 per cent increase in heart disease.

Copy Considerations for Get Stuffed!

Statistics To be added / edited to by PCT

1) New research showing the weights and heights of reception children and children in year 6 in Leeds collected by School Nurses show in reception, almost one in four of the children measured was either overweight or obese In year 6, this rate was nearly one in three This information shows Leeds has about the same sized problem as other parts of our region and England - a very big one !

2) Obesity is significantly higher in boys than in girls in both age groups

3) Obesity is significantly higher in year 6 than in reception .

4) The recommended maximum amount of daily salt intake for an adult is 6 grams. The daily amount for a child it is a lot less depending on age. A packet of crisps may contain as much as 3 grams, for many children more than the daily maximum recommendation.

5) Approximately 90% of a hotdog is fat.

6) Up to as much as 12 teaspoons of sugar may be present in a 12 oz. fizzy drink.

7) Just walking can burn up to 175 calories an hour, while swimming, football, hockey, squash and skiing can all burn up around 400 calories an hour. Exercise is even more rewarding if you learn a new skill at the same time.

8) People often mistake thirst for hunger. What you might need is a drink of water.



9) How much do you have to do to work off an average (50 grams) chocolate bar? Running around for 32 minutes, swimming for 20 minutes or playing on a play station game for 1 hour and 45 minutes



What is Obesity and Impact To be added / edited to by PCT



What you eat and do can affect how much you weigh.

If you weigh too much it can affect your heath now and in the future.

The more you weigh the more it can make you feel unhealthy. In the long term this could lead to your heart not working as well as it could and in the short term you may feel tired and moody.

The food you could eat less of have lots of fat and sugar in them.

The food that you can eat lots of are fruit, vegetables and healthy whole grains.

Doing things like playing football, dancing and running around will make you feel good and give you a healthy appetite.

Kids Art Exhibition

Wednesday confirmations

Message from Emma H


Had a quick look on AA Route Finder and it says that from Leeds central it takes about half an hour to get to the Wetherby school where the workshop is taking place Wednesday morning. However that does not allow for traffic – with it being rush hour time. So I think you guys are probable best setting off about 8.30am – as the children will be there and ready to begin work at 9.30am – is this all ok with you your end – early start I know?!?!



I am going to aim to be at the school for around 9am to meet with the relevant school staf and make sure all is set their end before you guys arrive.



The address for the school is



Wetherby Deighton Gates Primary School

Workshop Meeting

Just got a reminder from Emma Hopkinson that theres a meeting on Monday at 10 to discuss workshops etc. Usual venue I presume.

meeting time

hey, was mistakenly said in the meeting today that we have a meeting with Andy this thurs 14th at 10am, but it is in actual fact at 3pm, just sos you know!

An obesity chair designed specifically to fit one obese person- now provided widely (excuse the pun!) In America.

Supermarket Sweep!!

Message from Emma Hopkinson:


Friday 15th Feb, 10am the Asda store in Pudsey is allowing us to take the Tracker children there to do a supermarket sweep workshop! Sally Brown our PR officer will be arranging some press coverage i.e. Yorkshire Post, Look North etc. So are you guys able to attend at all? Any of the students are more than welcome to attend – would be a great chance to get some fab photos for the booklet!

I am going to do some product research about the ranges that Asda offer – Sandra showed me the range of food they do for children with exciting packaging and nutritional information on them designed to get children eating healthy: So I thought this range would be good to include somewhere in the dash!

American Obesity ad from Ad Council

Howdy, just came across this and thought it was worth posting. Maybe the wrong direction for the publication but thought it might inspire something else. Check out the website www.adcouncil.org where theres a whole array of them. J

Sup dudes, i've just signed up to this blog, so now i can hopefully keep up with whats going on. if anyone wants to get in contact with me my email is:

luke715@hotmail.co.uk

here's a couple of those 'studio' shots i took last saturday. i have about 15 good'uns but obviously since only 5 kids got their photos taken this selection is a little limited. so i was wondering, do you think we'll need a photographer for any of these upcoming workshops? i'm sure you guys have got it covered, but i'd be up for coming along, maybe with the lighting kit again, if they would allow it, to get more of these close up portraits.

also i'd be quite interested in doing a bit of editing/ art directing for the book. i know you've sorted it all out at a previous meeting so i don't want to butt in or start messing up your plans or anything, but i would quite like to have a bit more input into the actual publication if that would be ok. having said that, i'm really sorry but i wont be able to make the next meeting (again) on the 11th coz i'm not in leeds.

This is the Gee4orce Youth Dance Group 12-18 year olds – but most are GCSE age, approx 15 in the group. Would be great to do some kind of physical activity with them looking at the issues of obesity and how it relates to exercise – perhaps the weight suit idea (can book again if you guys want it?!?) or even the ‘traffic light’ and ‘plate’ exercise to get them to understand the importance of what they eat – or if you guys have something new you want to try then please feel free. Please make the workshop an hour long so the guys can still warm up with their tutor Gee Goodison – I will attend also.
