Beating The Odds Foundation is a national charity focused on helping students, beginning in the fourth grade, make better life and health decisions through its Quarterbacks of Life® Student Mentoring Program (the Program) so they can reach their full potential in life. The Program teaches students how individuals, which they call Quarterbacks of Life, have beaten the odds. A health module will be added to the Program that teaches the knowledge from the new book Lean And Healthy To 100 by health author Gordon Filepas.
Rocco Scalzi, Founder and President of Beating The Odds Foundation says "I'm a health enthusiast. I've read Gordon's book and think it is one of the most unique, comprehensive and eye-opening health books I've ever read because it explains the root cause of disease and obesity in such a logical manner. This information adds a new and valuable dimension to our program because it focuses on the absolute foundation of all good decision making - first creating an emotionally and physically balanced child through proper nutrition, eating and health habits. The way the book teaches to do this is simple and ingenious."
Gordon Filepas, author of Lean And Healthy To 100 says "Contrary to popular belief, virtually ending child and adult obesity is easy, inexpensive and common sense when you have the proper knowledge. The time-tested results of long-lived cultures and the findings of brilliant researchers over the past 80 years prove it. The problem is that an estimated 95% of Americans were never taught this common sense knowledge, so of course obesity and disease are out-of-control in America. Donating to The Beating The Odds Foundation will help to teach America's children this little-known common sense knowledge right from the start so they can beat the odds of child and adult obesity."
Scalzi and Filepas believe child obesity in America can end in just five short years through the teaching of this time-tested knowledge to parents and their children. They are hoping for professional sports teams and their ownership, celebrities, media organizations, health insurance providers, food and beverage companies and corporate America to join their cause because everyone wins by ending child obesity.
