Childhealth24.com is a website for preventive health care for newborns, babies, children and youngsters. It offers free medical, nutritional and scientific guidance to parents to track their children’s growth and development and to recognize disorders using a new scientifically tested interactive software. Childhealth24.com can not replace physicians. Quite in contrast, its use supports the development of healthy children and early recognition of problems that can lead to better treatment of disorders by a pediatrician or family practitioner.
In cooperation with our Advisory Board of internationally recognized medical doctors and health scientists, I would like to improve the quality of pediatric checkups via this internet site in order to ensure children’s health and to lower the frequency of illnesses whose late recognition and treatment can be avoided. It is my hope that the use of this site and the application of its advise will have beneficial effects on your children.
Sincerely,
Michael Hermanussen, MD, Pediatrician
Professor of Pediatrics, Christian-Albrechts University, Kiel, Germany

Obesity has become a major public health concern in this century. Yet, the widespread popularisation in managing overweight and obesity indicates that the problem of body weight maintenance has developed from an only medical into an interdisciplinary and already political problem. Current ideas about lifestyle and strategies to maintain health and weight have become dominated by increasingly popular beliefs that contrast scientific evidence. more
