What Parents Need to Know
About Turn Back Your Body Clock
Parents need to know that this British series centers on people who are determined to change their unhealthy lifestyles and repair the damage they've done to their bodies. With professional guidance, they make radical diet and exercise changes that often produce amazing results. The show's no-nonsense doctor is often very harsh in her criticism of people's sagging physiques and damaged internal organs, regularly making comments like "Look at the fat -- it's everywhere!" Though the series' 30-minute format oversimplifies the difficult process of changing unhealthy lifestyles, the results may encourage viewers to look for ways to remedy their own bad habits. Remind kids that changes this extreme should be made under a doctor's supervision.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the importance of a healthy lifestyle. How do diet and exercise affect the way your body functions? How do different foods provide you with what you need? What happens if you omit certain types from your diet? What kinds of exercise do you enjoy? What are some ways you can add simple exercises such as walking to your daily routine? This series offers plenty of inspiration for families to get out of the house and walk, run, or play together. Parents can also encourage tweens and teens to pitch in on planning and preparing healthy meals.
