What would you think about keeping your teenage girl from a liposuction surgery while encouraging her to develop a strong community spirit?
The Department of Health and Human Services' division on Women's Health has tried to do just this and been successful to a large extent with the help of a program called BodyWorks.
Launched in 2006 BodyWorks trains instructors and provides free training material but stipulates that communities arrange for the resources if they want to keep the trainers. In an age where even teenage girls from lower middle class families are falling prey to the obesity bug, this program comes in at the right time.
Despite the stress schools and other child care institutions lavish on controlling obesity levels among pre-teens and teens, obesity remains a distressing concern.
While rigorous exercises and diets are some options that are pursued, cosmetic surgery treatments like a liposuction surgery or a tummy tuck are also given thought.
Parents, in a easy-come, easy-go cure for their children's unhealthy state do not wait to consider the problems that could be entailed in any surgical procedure, whether it be weight loss surgery or a liposuction procedure.
The U.S. government's BodyWorks program sounds like the perfect solution for tackling the physical and developmental concerns of this age group of girls and their families. You can't always call up on Sister Mary Clarence to boost up community spirit you know!
