DVD is Recipe For Success in Fight Against Childhood Obesity

PORTLAND, Ore., May 25 /PRNewswire/ -- Take four parts expert advice, stir in several cups of tasty recipes, sprinkle some cooking demonstrations throughout and serve "Yummy in my Tummy" a dishy DVD designed to give parents the information they need to help curb the epidemic of obesity among our children.

Packed with nutrition advice, easy-to-make recipes and answers to parents' frequently asked questions about introducing solid foods to their babies, "Yummy in My Tummy" is a 45-minute DVD made by Lianne Castelino and Andrea Howick, two moms who are also journalists and the makers of the award-winning DVD on newborn baby care "Bringing Baby Home." The DVD is available at www.liandrea.com.

"As moms we know how hard it can be to make sure kids eat a healthy, well- balanced diet. We felt parents needed help making nutritious and appealing foods to inspire a love of healthy eating in their children right from the first bite," said Howick.

"Yummy in My Tummy" offers a comprehensive approach to the fight against the looming disaster of a generation of children who will have a shorter life expectancy than their parents, the result of poor lifestyle choices like diet.

"The first year of a child's life is key for establishing what kind of a relationship with food a baby will have as an adult. Babies who are introduced to nutritious, healthful foods right from the beginning will be more inclined to grow into adults who will make smarter diet choices and live healthier lives," said Dr. Denis Leduc, Fellow of the American Academy of Pediatrics who is both featured in the DVD and its medical advisor.

The DVD also features expert advice from Louise Lambert-Lagace, a leading nutritionist and co-author of a joint position paper recently released by the American Dietetic Association (ADA).

"Yummy in My Tummy" retails for $19.95 and is also offered in a Special Edition Boxed Set with the award-winning "Bringing Baby Home" DVD for $34.95 available at www.liandrea.com.
