HEALTH MINUTE

"Fat content
of fast foods”
FOR AIR WEEK OF May 27, 2002
It may be tempting
to super-size your fast-food meals.
But getting larger portions for your
child, may be hazardous to their health.
Hi, I'm Dr. John
Hellerstedt with the Children's Health
Minute, presented by this station
and TexCare - connecting Texas families
with children's health insurance for
18 dollars a month or less.
Fast food in moderation
may not cause your child to become
overweight, but it's still important
to consider downsizing portions.
For example: Choosing
the regular size fries instead of
the super-large size saves hundreds
of uneeded calories. And , mega cups
of soda that hold twenty to thirty
ounces pack a whopping four hundred
calories!
A growing number
of children - and adults - are becoming
overweight. Experts say one of the
main reasons is that Americans are
eating far more than the recommended
serving sizes. When they ask you if
you want the biggest size they have,
just say "no."

healthy. Call TexCare at 1-800-647-6558
