I don't have any questions, I just wanted to thank you for bringing life back to me.
I was so sick and now I am feeling as good as I did twenty years ago! It has been a long battle: no energy, aches and pains going from one
Dr. to the next. They told me it was anything from arthritis to depression; they had me on steroids for three years... All behind me now!
I just don't know how to thank you. I think it would be wonderful if you could just be everywhere with your caring heart. Information and the
real reason behind all of the bad, sick days that so many of us have had.
Sincerely, Jessica...@telusplanet.net

Nearly a third of children around the world spend at least three hours a day on their computers or watching TV. The study of 72,845 teens in 34 countries found that most children are not exercising enough regardless of the socioeconomic status of the country they live in.
They found that poor countries' children did the same amount of physical activities compared to rich countries. Growing up in a poor country does not necessarily mean that the children will get more physical activity.
Researchers defined adequate physical activity as exercising one or more hours outside of physical education class at least 5 times a week. Those who spent three or more hours a day on the computer playing games, or chatting with friends, or watching TV were classified as sedentary. With these definitions, only 25% of the boys and 15% of the girls were getting enough exercise. 25% of the boys and almost 30% of the girls were sedentary and did not get enough exercise. Girls in all the countries except Zambia were less active than boys.
