You are walking down the street with your friends, and you feel your stomach growling in hunger. A burger joint and a local salad bar catch your eye- a burger seems great but you could also have a tasty, healthy salad. Which one?
1/3 of children in the United States are considered overweight. Everyone knows obesity is a problem. But it is one thing acknowledging an issue, but it another to understand it. Being overweight comes with health issues, such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer. But how can you keep yourself healthy and fit?
-
Exercise regulary- running is great but other activities like playing games, cycling, and dancing/skating count of course!
-
Watch the input, output- no you dont have to count the calories but be aware of about how much food you put in your body. Food+TV= overeating. When you eat and focus on a TV or computer you usually eat more.
-
Unsquare those eyes! Limit TV time. Did you know- when you watch TV your metabolism slows down. Now if you add high fat snacks that means disaster!
But dont think I am saying you have to be too skinny- that isnt good either- but it is good to watch your weight and keep a balanced healthy lifestyle!
