Overweight Kids are at a Higher Risk of Developing Heart Disease

This may or may not seem like common sense, but it's important none the less. If a child is overweight they are automatically at a higher risk of developing heart disease.

Did you know that the children that are born today have a lower life expectancy than their parents?

I'll let that sink in. You can read more of this story when you get a chance.

It is scary at the amount of overweight children. I know for myself that when I'm overwhelmed by life and tired I eat "bad" and tend to make bad choices for my family at dinnertime. When I take time for myself and exercise I make better choices for all of us. I wonder if that's true for others as well.
