Reduce obesity through exercise


It is strange to think that Reuters has a story that highlights 15 minutes of exercise will help reduce the risk of obesity in your kids. Surely that is just common sense? The more we exercise the less chance of being over-weight?

This is such an important topic and it seems sometimes that society (obviously I'm generalising here) can overlook the obvious when it comes to exercising especially for children. There are high demands for kids to be working hard at school, fitting in with their social networks and other demands of growing up in the 21st century, and sometimes the focus on such an important part of growing up, like exercising, is not given the time it warrants.

Obesity seems a popular topic in the news this week, with the BBC saying that scientists have found a clear link to a 'obesity gene'.
