New Book "FitKid7" Provides Solutions For Health Crises in Children.

Sydney, Australia — This week FitKid7.com announced the release of a new book by nutrition expert SirkkaWolke titled "FitKid7 - 7 Simple Steps for a Fit & Healthy Child." The book provides solutions for a generation of over-weight children.

Wolke, who is a nutritional consultant and mother of four, prescribes a simple seven step program that helps children lose weight and keep it off while staying fit.

"These days when parents are working two and three jobs, children no longer have access to the healthy home-cooked meals past generations enjoyed. The result is often an over weight child who caries the health risks and stigma for a lifetime," Wolke said.

Obesity in children is a problem throughout the world. Busy family life, fast foods, and a proliferation of media entertainment have all conspired to put weight on children while dramatically
reducing their physical activity.

"FitKid7" provides seven steps to eating right, losing weight, getting fit, and maintaining good health over the long term. Children following the program lose weight fast without diets and measuring, simply by taking advantage of sensible lifestyle choices.

"The weight practically falls off children when they eat right and get proper exercise. Then keeping the weight off is simple as making a few lifestyle choices within the family," Wolke said.

Wolke, who has worked extensively as a nutritional consultant to families, wrote the book after parents often asked her about their child's weight. Parents needed a direct and practical way to help their children lose weight while achieving better physical and mental health. "Children who eat right often sleep better, have fewer behavior problems, experience less illness, and are able to pay attention in school," Wolke said.

"FitKid7 - 7 Simple Steps for a Fit & Healthy Child" can be purchased from Wolke's site — http://www.fitkid7.com .

The site contains tips, a popular health self-quiz, information on supplements, and an active discussion forum. There families discuss ways to get children involved in healthier lifestyles and ideas for improving nutrition in the family.

"A lot has been written in the media and in government reports about our children being overweight. With this book I'm showing families how they can easily motivate their children to lose weight and stay healthy for life," Wolke said.
