Natural Harmony Foods, Inc. announced today that it will lend a hand in the fight against childhood obesity by supporting Non-Profit organizations that work to combat childhood obesity.
Reports from the Centers for Disease Control have stated that the average weight among children 6 to 11 years old have more than doubled in the past 20 years, going from 7% in 1980 to 18.8% in 2004. As for the weight among adolescents aged 12 to 19, the centers shows that this rate has more than tripled, increasing from 5% to 17.1%.
Companies such as Natural Harmony Foods can help children and families lose weight, achieve healthier lifestyles and provide solutions to today’s obesity epidemic by providing foods that are healthier, lower in fat and saturated fat, and also taste great.
Working alongside Non-Profit organizations like Ironfish Athletic Ministries & Fitness (IAM Fitness), Natural Harmony Foods will provide support in the form of donations and healthy food products. IAM Fitness provides free personal fitness training and mentoring to obese, fatherless, at-risk kids and holds drug free sporting events for kids and adults.
In response to the company’s decision Natural Foods CEO Sam Dewar commented, “While we’re a young and small company, we can start to help in this worthy cause with small donations of product and money. We make products that are healthy and they taste great, kids love them. We want to make them available to kids from all economic backgrounds, at home and in schools.”
Natural Harmony Foods, Inc. is headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, FL and the company is dedicated to producing healthy, flavorful, convenient foods that fit the lifestyles of individuals looking to make better, health conscious diet choices without sacrificing taste.
