Around 10% of individuals globally are impacted by this problem.<\/p>\n<p>Hunger is a complex issue with several underlying causes and wide-ranging effects that surpass empty stomachs.<\/p>\n<p>Understanding the causes and solutions to the worldwide hunger crisis is the first step towards ending it in a world of abundance.<\/p>\n<p>As many as 150 million more people became undernourished between 2019-2022 &#8211; an issue fueled mainly by war, climate change, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Other interrelated issues are inequality, poverty, and a weakened political and healthcare system.<\/p>\n<p>Although the amount of food produced globally is sufficient to feed every person on earth, up to 828 million people remain undernourished.<\/p>\n<p>Hunger and associated conditions are to blame for 45 percent of child fatalities globally. That is 700 children dying daily because of contaminated water and unsanitary living circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>To help combat this global issue, at nearly 300 locations across the U.S. and Canada, Fit Body Boot Camp held their first-ever brand-wide food drive from November 1st to November 23rd. The initiative was named &#8220;The Fit Body Food Battle&#8221; as franchise locations competed to raise the most food.<\/p>\n<p>As part of the Food Battle, clients were also encouraged to bring nonperishable items to these locations, which go to the local charity of their choice.<\/p>\n<p>Locations also invited non-members to donate food items that would help the cause. As a &#8220;thank you&#8221; for contributing to the cause, Fit Body is giving back through health by offering two free weeks of the fitness program.<\/p>\n<p>Fit Body&#8217;s mission is to collect over 250,000 food items for those in need annually. This year&#8217;s food drive ended with nearly 100,000 items collected, a remarkable accomplishment for a debut attempt.<\/p>\n<p>Hunger is predictable, preventable, and treatable. We can save malnourished families by providing them with the nutrients they need to thrive.<\/p>\n<p>Ways to help include volunteering your time, donating money, organizing a food drive, researching the topic, and spreading the word.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At this time of year, there is no denying many families are in need. I am very proud to be part of a brand that was so eager to take action as soon as I presented the idea,&#8221; said CJ Wehrkamp, multi-location Fit Body owner.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We can only accomplish so much on our own, but when the entire brand gets behind a great cause, the lives we can touch will be beyond our wildest dreams! Our global clients are the true heroes,&#8221; said Bryce Henson, Fit Body CEO and location owner.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p><strong>CHINO HILLS, CA<\/strong> &#8211; After progressively declining for a decade, world hunger is rising again.
