“Being more physically active not only benefits children’s physical health — by reducing their risk of obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol — but also improves kids’ mental well-being, and enhances their ability to learn and retain information” (Melinda Sothern, a professor of health promotion at the Louisiana State University Health Sciences Center School of Public Health in New Orleans).
