Kids need to be active and eat healthy! |
The U.S. government and many other health organizations recommend that children and adolescents get at least 60 minutes of physical activity on most, if not all, days of the week. This, along with a healthy diet, is key to keeping your kids in good overall health.
Overweight children face many problems. They are more likely to develop diseases like high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease, even while they are young. Heavy kids also have lower self-esteem. This can affect their relationships with other children. Some experts even feel that emotional problems are the hardest part about being overweight. |
