How can a health education class help prevent teen obesity?

Nutrition: If the health education class includes topics on good nutrition and exercise, it can certainly help prevent teen obesity. Good nutrition habits and regular exercise are the best ways to prevent obesity and type ii diabetes.

Education & support: Learning how to make lifestyle changes & having the support of professionals (even better, maybe peers) is what obesity health education can provide. Changing habits can be difficult even for the strongest of wills. Learning tricks & tips & having positive role models & support systems can reinforce behavioral change (i.e., diet changes, exercise regimens, approaches to body image & self esteem.).

Health education.: Teens don't always know the errors in their ways. By teaching teens the value of proper nutrition and regular exercise, we'd hope they'd become motivated to keep themselves healthy.
