Officially, according to government figures, 1 in 5 children are obese.  The
problem with obesity relates not only to health but also but increased bullying
in school, confidence issues and peer group problems. 

These can lead to bigger problems in future like illegal substance abuse and
more serious health issues in future.

With other related issues, it is common for a person to go on a downward spiral
of comfort eating to temporarily feel good and these leads to further
‘fattening’ of the child and further related issues.

At Four Candles, we get teenagers to get motivated to break the downward
cycle and start an upward cycle of healthy diet and exercise and on building
self confidence to live an empowered life.
