How to avoid summer weight gain in kids
About this episode
Monica discusses why summer can lead to weight gain in children and offers strategies to prevent it.
School's out, the days are long, and summer should be the healthiest time of year for kids — more time outside, more fresh produce, more freedom to move. So why do so many children actually gain excess weight during summer vacation? In this episode, Monica breaks down a counterintuitive but increasingly well-documented trend: for many kids, especially those who are already overweight, summer is actually the riskiest season for unhealthy weight gain. And she walks through five practical, family-friendly strategies to turn that around before the school bell rings again. Encore Episode: This episode originally aired on June 24, 2015.
