Kids Obesity

There are toddlers of two years old receiving treatment for obesity.
In the papers today it said that one child being treated in Gwent in Wales weighs
2 stone 9 lbs ( 16kg) , and that the average weight of a two year old should be 1 stone and 12 lbs ie 12 kg.

What a frightening thought. These children end up moving less and type 2 diabetes is
now being diagnosed in children under 10.

Of course if they could all join a group like BackFlip Performers they would learn to have fun and enjoy moving around. Even a little bit of exercise would be good - and of course eating more healthy food, too.

But moving around gets the endorphins going and the feel good comes from natural healthy stuff not junk food or TV.
