Khalili Foundation Joins with L.A. Unified to Fight Childhood Obesity
The Khalili Center for Bariatric Care’s, Khalili Foundation goes out to L.A. Unified schools to teach children the importance of living a fit life. Fighting the childhood obesity epidemic is the goal. Drs. Eraj Basseri and Kai Nishi are interviewed as well as 4th grade children of Sunrise Elementary School in East L.A. on this visit. 1 in 5 children are considered obese and the numbers are rising. The true way to combat this problem is to teach kids to be fit, stay fit and lead a fit life to prevent becoming overweight. Logging 10,000 steps everyday in any way is the right start.
