A combination of moderate and vigorous activities is recommended.
A moderate activity will be about equal in intensity to a brisk walk, and could include a whole range of activities such as a bike ride or any sort of active play.
More vigorous activities will make kids “huff and puff” and include organized sports such as football and netball, as well as activities such as ballet, running and swimming laps. Children typically accumulate activity in intermittent bursts ranging from a few seconds to several minutes, so any sort of active play will usually include some vigorous activity.
Most importantly, kids need the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities that are fun and suit their interests, skills and abilities. Variety will also offer your child a range of health benefits, experiences and challenges.
Remember, any activity that sees your child expend energy is good!
The future of the world depends upon the children, yet the children’s future depends upon us. Tragically, ten million children under the age of six will die this year from preventable diseases. Experts agree that proper nutrition can support the body’s ability to defend against disease and illness. With direct access to world-changing glyconutritional technology, the founders of MannaRelief commit to providing advanced nutritional products to the world’s future—its children. Founded in 1999, MannaRelief is a 501(c)(3), not-for-profit organization that supplies essential nutrition to orphans and children with critical health needs.
