Barriers of Healthy Behavior

Introduction

Obesity has appeared as the most critical nutritional dilemma in front of the world. The most current information (1999-2000) from nationwide surveys in the United States proposes that almost two thirds of the adult population is overweight, and almost one third is obese. It is a worldwide public health dilemma, affecting almost every area of the world with the exemption of sub-Saharan Africa. SPPS has been functioning throughout Wellness Champions and Wellness Teams in schools to do evaluations and plan approaches to overcome the barriers of obesity among children (SPPS, 2011).
