Add
watching more than 1 hour of TV per day to decreased physical work and play
outdoors (compared to half a century ago) and to increased intake of fast foods
and sodas and it’s no wonder that the entire world is in the grip of an obesity
epidemic. So what can adults do? Shut off the TV except for up to 1 hour of
healthy programming. Increase indoor and outdoor physical activity. Since no
link was found between use of a computer and unhealthy body weights, encourage
appropriate computer usage. There are many brain-stimulating games available on
iPads and computers. Play games with the children. It’ll be good for your
brain, too. And get serious about role-modeling healthy eating and portion
control and staying active. Remember, kids tend to copy what they see you do. And,
yes, do dump sodas and sugars and chips…
