OBESITY.
Testimony:
"In
2008 I was overweight and diagnosed with borderline diabetes at
the age of 13. I was told by my doctor that I had too change my
eating habits and exercise daily. I was determine that I was not
going too stick myself with a needle daily so I took action with
the help of my mom and dad. I changed my eating and my mom
walked with my 3 days a week and my dad is a wonderful African
dancer and danced with me 2-3 days a week. I never knew how much
a work out African dance is and it helped me melt those pounds
away. Eating right and daily exercise is so important. I feel so
much healthier now." --Taylor
