Screen Time Adds to Need for Increased Health and Fitness

Our society is now faced with the notion of unlimited screen time. Even as recently as in the 1980s, most TV stations shut off at night. Now, adolescents and teens get unlimited TV around the clock, not to mention internet access which never goes dark.

When you combine an abundance of unhealthy foods available, larger than life portion sizes, along with limitless screen time- it’s a recipe for disaster.

Health and Fitness for Teens: Now is the Time for Action

We need quality health and fitness camps now more than ever. At Camp Pocono Trails, we offer health and fitness education that is second-to-none. Unfortunately, health and fitness education is not taught or often poorly taught in schools.

Just teaching young people about mindfulness of eating can produce significant long-term positive health consequences. For example, in a 2016 study that was published in health psychology, the Official Journal of the division of Health Psychology of the American Psychological Association, found that individuals with high percentage body fat make more impulsive food choices than those with low percentage of body fat.

Obviously, high percentage of body fat increases the risk of obesity over time. This study demonstrates shifts in choice patterns of food using a brief mindful eating training with adolescents. Mindful eating is a beneficial strategy to reduce impulsive food choices that impede weight gain.

Health and Fitness Camp: Next Steps

When adolescents and teens make impulsive food choices and do not plan their day, health consequences often arise. At our health and fitness camp, we also teach young people how to plan their time to not let the day just get away from them. We teach campers how to think about food so that mindless eating does not occur.

What Next Steps will your Pennsylvania Teen Take At Camp Pocono Trails?

We help our campers understand how to manage their time in a productive and fulfilling way.  Instead of focusing on breaking an addiction or stopping the use of all technology our campers learn how to organize and schedule time for different activities in their day. In other words, we learn to balance technology with healthy living. Our campers learn skills to not be drawn into the temptations of using their devices impulsively. This simple reframing of a goal can often help teens jump on board and be active participants to change.  If you are interested in learning more about how to make healthy changes for your family please call us at Camp Pocono Trails today.
