SHEFFIELD CITY COUNCIL LAUNCHES INITIATIVE TO REDUCE TOOTH DECAY AND OBESITY Sheffield City Council is launching a major public health initiative to help local families, schools and healthcare professionals tackle sugar. The initiative, ‘Sheffield is Sweet Enough’, aims to reduce obesity and tooth decay in children and adults over the next five years. Together with its partners – the NHS, healthcare professionals, Sheffield’s universities, Learn Sheffield, Weight Management Services, colleges, Trading Standards, and the voluntary sector – Sheffield City Council
will be sharing helpful facts, sugar swaps, tips and advice for all ages. Almost 1 in 4 children are overweight or obese when they start school in Sheffield. There are also more school children in Sheffield being admitted to hospital for painful tooth extractions than ever before. The campaign aims to provide information to local people on the effects of sugar and to give them the tools they need to make educated choices that support their family’s health. It will do this by increasing understanding of how much sugar is too much
and the impact this can have on our health. There will be a focus initially on reaching pregnant women and parents with young children and targeting areas in the city with high rates of obesity and tooth decay as early education is key to establishing healthy eating habits. Councillor Mary Lea, Cabinet Member for Culture, Parks & Leisure, said: “Sheffield has high levels of obesity and tooth decay and we see a large variation across the city. Being overweight and having a poor diet impacts on children’s physical and emotional
wellbeing and overall life chances. We want better for our children. We want to create lasting change by helping people understand how much sugar is too much and empowering them to make healthy choices. We believe that Sheffield is sweet enough and with a few small changes, we can all reduce our sugar intake, so that eventually these healthy habits become part of daily life.” Ultimately, the aim is to create a social movement in which everyone can play a part - schools, parents, healthcare professionals,
councillors, voluntary organisations, community leaders, businesses and workplaces – to tackle sugar in our environment at a local level. The campaign will invite local people and organisations to pledge what they will do to reduce the availability and accessibility of high sugar drinks and foods in the places we live, work and play. This will contribute in our efforts in making a big difference to health outcomes in Sheffield for now and for future generations. To find out more visit www. sheffieldissweetenough. org
