Overweight (³¬ÖØ) is one of the biggest health problems now. Being overweight affects more than how you look. Too much fat can kill you.
What¡¯s worse, overweight children turn into overweight adults. If you¡¯re obese now, you probably will grow into an obese adult. But here¡¯s good news. You can fight overweight.
Change your eating habits
You are what you eat. Kids like snacks. Did you list any healthy snacks? One study of eating habits showed that soft drinks are the first in the snack list. Next, kids choose salty snacks, like chips. What¡¯s more, the list is full of junk food from No. 3 to No.11.Finally, No.12, kids picked a healthy snack¡ªfruit. So, think about your snack choice again.
Get outside to exercise
Jim, a player on his school football team, had a weight problem not long time ago. He could never get anyone to play with him. So his father and he started playing football for a few minutes every night. Ten minutes turned into an hour or more. In just a few years, the heavy kid became athletic, fit and healthy.
More TV means more fat
Nearly every American kid watches TV for 2 hours and 56 minutes every day¡ªthat adds up to 44 days a year of sitting. More TV (or more Internet surfing, or more computer games) means more fat.
Eat an apple a day, walk around the house, play with your family...Do it today, and do it more tomorrow. It will help you a lot.
