Healthy and small snacks for Kid's

How Small Snacks Can Have A Big Impact On Kid's Health

“Obesity rates in children are higher than ever and only continue to grow,” Greebel said.

“Most kids also do not get enough physical activity. The imbalance of eating more calories than what is burned is what contributes to the growing weight problem in children.”

While parents likely have the best of intentions with those postgame snacks, Lovenheim says that snacking on too many calories after a game can undo much of the benefit gained by engaging in the activity in the first place.

“We are also teaching our youth to make bad food choices after minimal physical activity,” he explained.

“This behavior can stay with a child into adulthood. With the levels of childhood obesity already at an all-time high, we need to teach healthy habits from a young age.”
