Let kids play outside to fight obesity, president George Bush strongly asserted while he was meeting with business leaders, working to encourage exercise and healthy food choices through advertising.
Where this suggestion by Mr. Bush seems quite doable it looks quite simple too. Instead of encouraging kids to attend physical activity classes don’t you think it would be far better if parents encourage their kids to participate in outdoor activities with other kids? In fact, it is quite a serious issue, which we can’t get away with because when children remain just inside their homes and develop inactive lifestyle then slowly but steadily obesity starts layering them, which leads to several life threatening diseases like diabetes, blood pressure, depression, etc. While enhanced participation in outdoor activities help smoothing the way of their personality development.
On the same issue his better half Laura’s suggestion that in this fight against obesity mothers will have to play a major role seems quite convincing since these are mothers who spend maximum time with their kids. Therefore, only these mothers can encourage their kids to participate in outdoor activities.
I strongly feel that the time has come when we will have to come forward fighting obesity strongly but naturally and that is possible just by following natural lifestyle. So, open the doors and let kids play in the lap of nature.
