On Healthy Living

As I was watching the health portion of the local news recently, I heard about how there is a big increase in children who have low vitamin D levels. What is the main reason children aren’t getting enough vitamin D? Because children are not spending as much time outside as they once did. We need to get our kids back outside playing more and eating healthier. In today’s world, PlayStation, computers and other electronics have replaced good old-fashioned outdoor fun.

The television is another reason kids aren’t getting outside enough. As parents, we need to limit indoor activities that cause children to be sedentary and encourage more outdoor activities. Start exercising and taking walks and bike rides with your children. Lead by example.
