"How to be healthy and smart from the inside out" is what the interactive, engaging and ever-popular OrganWise Guys optimized website is all about. After sharing its effective and motivating message to tens of thousands of students in more than 5,000 schools across 20 states, the award winning OrganWise Guys (OWG) curriculum is now available to parents, children and educators through its digital community with a new interactive website focused on fun, nutrition and exercise.
The new www.organwiseguys.com boasts innovative content and activities that encourage eating well and being physically active. Engaging characters who personify the major organs of the body: Hardy Heart, Peri Stolic (the large intestine), Sir Rebrum (the brain), Madame Muscle and others, are at the center of everything OrganWise.
The OrganWise Guys' sole purpose is to empower children (and their families) as young as three years old up through their elementary school years on how to be "healthy and smart from the inside out." "Everything we do, from our new interactive website to our school curriculum to our products, is designed to create healthy habits and shape a life long journey of good health, good nutrition and good living," said Dr. Michelle Lombardo, founder of The OrganWise Guys.
Today, one third of children in America are considered obese or overweight.The prevalence of obesity among children age six to 11 years increased from 6.5 percent in 1980 to 19.6 percent in 2008.

"There's a healthy dialogue brewing about childhood obesity and how to best combat this grave public health issue, but we need to act more in addressing the "why's" of this extremely concerning condition of our American youth," added Lombardo. "We need to challenge children to change their behavior in regard to healthy lifestyle habits. Why? Because The OrganWise Guys "Love who we live in, so please take care of us!" The OrganWise Guys have been empowering children with this message in classroom settings and now we?re sharing the content with families at home by expanding our digital platform. Most importantly we hope our messages will resonate and be incorporated into some aspect of everyone's daily life. It's smart, fun and effective and will serve everyone well."
