A recent survey by the Information Centre for health and social care revealed that teenage obesity rates are at an all-time high. One in every four teenagers in the UK is now obese.
Weightwise is a new campaign from the British Dietetic Association (BDA). It is empowering and encouraging the next generation to make changes to their dietary and physical activity habits to achieve and maintain a healthy body composition. As part of this campaign the Teen Weightwise web site has been developed and is managed by the BDA, the organisation that represents registered dieticians in the UK.
