The Teen Lifestyle Medicine Handbook: The Power of Healthy Living
Teens are holding a bad hand. Not only have they inherited a climate crisis, but the health of the planet isn’t the only thing at risk. In fact, the current generation of young people is on track to be less healthy and live shorter lives than their parents. By age 10, nearly all kids already have fatty streaks in their arteries, which is the first sign of atherosclerosis, the leading cause of death in the United States. And, what was once known as “adult-onset diabetes” is now referred to as “type 2 diabetes.” Why? Because grown-ups aren’t the only ones to get it these days. The disease is now found in children, too. While it’s hard to hear and even harder to believe, more and more children and teens are experiencing long-term, chronic, and reoccurring diseases. Is this every teen’s fate? Are they inevitable, or can they be prevented?
