Answer to Question 1

These activities include a wellness/nutrition component for school-age children in the early elementary years. These children must have physical activity on a daily basis, which should add up to the recommended 60 minutes per day, when possible. Elementary school children are to be engaged in daily physical education activities for 150 minutes per week. There should no longer be junk food allowed in schools in any form. There should be more choices of green and orange fruits and vegetables and focus will be on lower-fat protein and dairy products.

Answer to Question 2

Childhood obesity can cause pediatric hypertension and diabetes mellitus. It can also impair the immune system and the ability to fight off infection and disease. Sleep apnea, which is a disorder that causes children to awaken many times during the night and reduces the amount of time in deep sleep, can also be a result of being overweight. Children under the age of four can be at risk for having their cognitive development impaired. Stress on the weight-bearing joints is another physical problem that may result.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
