Are Kids Getting Enough Exercise

Did you know you need approximately 30 minutes daily exercise, if not more to maintain a healthy lifestyle. With today's fast foods, chips and easily available sodas, the calorie count increases. You go from a normal 2000 calorie diet to about a 3000-4000 calorie diet with all of the junk foods around.

According to Health Discovery only one and three American children participate in daily physical activity. Now you ask where do the excess calories that children eat go if they are not exercising, these calories turn to fat. Children have a hard time focusing on physical activities for even twenty minutes, the reason for this is because all the new video games that are available to them in this day in age they want to focus on beating that next level, not exercise.
