Why worry about overweight kids?
After all, isn’t it just a bit of baby fat? For one thing, excess body fat in both children and adults is often a symptom of under-active and poorly or over-nourished bodies. As children grow and develop through crucial stages, it is critical that they get the best chance for optimum health via regular exercise and good quality food intake. Bodies that are overweight in early stages have a much harder time getting to and staying within a normal or ideal body fat range later.
