Dieticians to assist in child obesity programme
Tuesday 26th August 2008
A number of dieticians are set to be involved in a scheme designed to tackle weight issues among children.
Under a programme organised by Wellingborough council, overweight youngsters are to be given fitness classes and lifestyle advice, the Northamptonshire Evening Telegraph reports.
Children involved in the scheme will receive nutrition education from healthcare professionals including dieticians, as well as activity sessions, in news of possible relevance to people with dietician jobs.
"Encouraging children to increase the amount of exercise they take and reducing the amount of time they spend being inactive, along with having a balanced diet, will play a big part in improving their overall physical and mental health," a council spokesperson said.
In other UK medical news, ChronicleLive recently reported that Go North East, a bus company that runs a fleet of more than 650 vehicles, drafted in a team of physiotherapists to treat the muscular problems being experienced by its workers.
