Escondido Real Estate

The 5^th Annual Healthy Kids' Day at the Palomar family YMCA in Escondido real estate was all about the main focus, which is for the betterment of the children. April 16 was a family-filled activity where over 300 people participated and together enjoyed the day. Parents and children all over Escondido real estate participated in an activity promoting healthy living.

Megan Scollay-Casillas, membership and marketing director of the Palomar Family YMCA said that Healthy Kids Day is our national program to improve the health and all aspects of well being of both kids and families. "It is the largest event of its kind in the nation, taking place at 1,600 Y's across the country, and will directly benefit the kids and families in Escondido, San Marcos, San Elijo and Valley Center. "This event assists families to conquer the obstacle they are facing every day so they can achieve healthy lifestyle, she added.

Scollay-Casillas said that according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, childhood obesity has tripled in the past decades. As the result of that, when children grow up and reach their adulthood, they are at full risk for diseases like Diabetes Type 2, high cholesterol levels, hypertension and heart diseases. Scollay-Casillas also said that this event is very important and is crucial to the community because it promotes healthy living as a familial stipulation. "With the help of community businesses who are willing to donate their time and services, the Palomar Family YMCA is able to provide our community with resources they need" she added.

Kids and families enjoyed the day and all the features of the event. Kids liked the bouncing in the jump house, racing through an obstacle course, and doing aerobics. They also joined they respective families in visiting vendors and booths like Escondido real estate Children's Museum, Escondido Library, Escondido Police Depatment, Rickards Chiropractic, San Diego University Research Foundation, Jamba Juice, Molina Health Care, information on Lake Wohlford and Daley Ranch local getaways, Cox Cable and North County Health Services.
