WHAT’S HOLDING YOUTH BACK?
So what prevents Buffalo, NY young people
and their Buffalo, NY parents from thinking about their nutritional
status? Expectedly the same things that hold young adults back - belief
their diet is correct, no symptomatology, and misperception
of nutrient sources. (1) The Novelli Wellness Center knows that a life experience
draws attention.
WAKE-UP CALLS

nutritional status? At the same time it would get the attention of
an adult - when there is pain. Amazingly, 71% of

like limited sun exposure, inadequate vitamin d diets, adiposity, lower
physical activity, sedentary lifestyles, vitamin 25 (oh) d deficiency, and lower
levels of calcium, creatine kinase, and lactic dehydrogenase. (2) Being
inactive increases the odds of having neck and back pain in
adolescents. (3) In an 8-month study period, 52.2% of schoolchildren had
low back pain. 34% had moderate and 18% had severe back pain. More girls (36%) than boys (24%) report back
