For the latest news across Belize, visit: http://edition.channel5belize.com/ The Belize Cancer Society and the Non Communicable Disease- Childhood Obesity Prevention Alliance is partnering with the Healthy Caribbean Coalition (HCC) and over 100 Civil Society organizations across the region to raise public awareness and support around the growing challenge of Childhood Obesity in the region. Currently 1 out of every 3 Caribbean children are overweight and obese (due mainly to a poor diet and a lack of exercise), putting them at serious risk for cancer, diabetes and heart disease. Our guests spoke to us about the launch of the campaign to help families make healthier choices and prevent Childhood Obesity. Dr. Victor Rosado - Pediatrician Heather Reneau - Office Administrator, Belize Cancer Society
