 CHILDREN’S
HEALTH MINUTE
Presented by
the TexCare
60 Second Radio Feature
MP3
"Fitness
for Kids"
FOR AIR WEEK OF September 17, 2001
Call it a sign
of the times, but a growing number of
kids have high cholesterol.
Hi,
I’m Dr. John Hellerstedt, and this
CHILDREN’S HEALTH MINUTE is presented
by the TexCare . . a Texas
initiative to provide children’s health
insurance for only $18 a month or
less to most families.
More
than one out of three American children
have high cholesterol. That’s dangerous
because it increases the risk of heart
attack and stroke.
Part of the problem is eating the
wrong foods. But exercise is important
too.
Kids who exercise tend to stay active
throughout their lives.
And a child who stays fit will have
a decreased risk of serious illnesses
like heart disease and stroke in later
life.
This CHILDREN’S HEALTH MINUTE is presented
by the TexCare - - - Reminding
you that no child should be without
health insurance. Call 1-800-647-6558
to apply for children’s health insurance
that for most families is $18 a month
or less.
And join me next time for the CHILDREN’S
HEALTH MINUTE.
