"Informed" with Rob Lowe Spotlights the Importance of Youth Exercise for Public Television

    MIAMI, FL, October 15, 2016 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With obesity being considered an epidemic in America, addressing childhood obesity has received more attention. A new episode of the informational series "Informed", with Rob Lowe, will demonstrate how schools, medical professionals, and parents are working together for children's health.

This episode will visit schools, both public and private, to see how exercise is incorporated into education. Viewers will discover how in some districts physical education has continued to make a difference in children's lives, and how new programs are attempting to curb obesity trends. The show interviews pediatric physicians and will also discuss the role that digital learning and entertainment have, in some cases, diminished the amount of time children spend outside and/or doing physical activity. Also, one community will share how their commitment to youth exercise has seen improved health and education.

Viewers of all ages will be engaged by this excellent programming, which will be moving into active production this winter.

"Informed" is produced for Public Television and PBS Member Stations. Individual stations air the program in time slots as determined by their market needs. The award winning show features producers, writers and videographers that create informative documentaries in high-definition video that surpass all requirements for on-air productions.
