Now in less than two weeks from now, school year 2017-2018 is about to end. Summer vacation is fast approaching, so kids will surely be looking forward for it. Playing gadgets and watching television is usually sedentary so getting the child up and moving is by far the healthier option.

Hours of sedentary behaviour is linked not only to obesity, but other health problems such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease and stroke.
