Raising Healthy Kids

RAISING HEALTHY KIDS
DID YOU KNOW? - A lot of our kids are passing an entire working week of thirty-five hours staring at an idiot box or video recording? And that across the past fifteen years, the amount of youngsters who are fat or overweight has to a higher degree doubled.
Australia has forever been a healthy nation, with Happy kids and Healthy kids. It's safe and sound and clean and just about all the people have the chance to work out.
We have forever been proud that we're bringing up healthy kids. That's still accurate. Immunisation rates are high and all over the preceding 10 years, the total of minors passing away every year has decreased.
There's without doubt, though, that we could perform better. Television, little activity and a lot of junk food are completely taking their toll.
More than forty pct of Aussie kids play zero sport or take part in some other physical activity!
Is this the manner we wish our kids to grow up? In later life, these youngsters are possibly at danger from an array of health problems - hypertension, heart condition, diabetes and stroke.
How come OUR KIDS are not MORE ACTIVE?
Can you blame them? Approximately forty-five pct of adults don't manage the advisable amount of physical activity for general health (which is 30 minutes of reasonable activity - such as brisk walking - per day). The average Aussie grownup passes more than two hours a day viewing television, videos or listening to the radio.
Makes you think, does it not! Perhaps the most effective way to have active kids is to become active parents.
Kids do good from a total of one hour of physical activity in a day, which could be made up across a number of different activities. Things such as walking the pet dog or kicking a ball in the back yard are uncomplicated, familiar samples. A healthy diet will assist as well, of course.
