FITNESS FOR OUR TINY TOTS......the start of fitness

The group about which i am going to discuss today is that group who remain under our knees and get all our love and affection. They practicaly donot need any exercise or fitness routines or any diet chart. They live freely and are free from all kinds of afright and anxiety. Yes, I think you all have guessed it right it is our children.
            But what is happening now a days is that we some how in the name of care are doing a great harm to these flowers. I definitely donot say that over loving or fullfilling every needs is harming them. But i am pointing towards the way we are doing it.
            I have my fitness department and i will definitely stick to that only. Now a days our children are also becoming a part of this competetive world from a very early age and in a way to prepare these children for this world we are forgetting some of the basic things which may be a bit offbeat but can definitely boost their power to a great extent. The two of the most neglected factors i would like to discuss here.

1) FOOD:-
Many of us get confused as this topic arises because some or the other ways we are providing our children with all the good foods we can, which he /she likes. But we forget one of the most important thing and that is
" GOOD FOOD IS NOT GOOD ALWAYS ".
Yess and this the truth infact the hardest truth. Now a days children are geting prone to fast foods whom we can call junk food in the ignorance that what a harm these delicious evils are doing to them.
We elders are providing these to them knowing everything. The problem has grown so large in some countries that children have started making choices between the staple food and the junk one.
These are influencing them more and more. and the results are dangerous like OBESITY, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE, HEART PROBLEMS etc..
But the biggest truth is that we still are not realising this. I dont say that they should be avoiding all these stuffs for ever but i am just askin to check these till the situation grows worse.
Children eat these for their taste but on the other hand these are making them lazy and more unfit and the problem arises when they get to the age of 18 or 19. And at that time this becomes a habit for them and they willingly too can not stop them and in the way the situation grows more worse and worse.
......
2) EXERCISE:-
The second and another most important problem is lack of exercise. Our children definitely donot need to exercise nor they need to follow any fitness routine. But exercise for them means their palying. I must specify i am not talking about vedio games or any kind of indoor games. The game which i mean is any outdoor game. Their is no specification for that, it can be anything from hide n seek, to cricket, soccer, anything.
Playing with friends , shouting will in a way keep them cheerfull always. Their zeel and enthusiasm will be maintained for anything.
Researches even tell that playing outdoor games even make children sharp and increases their capability of learning.
Playing will keep their body fit and will improve their resistence towards any disease.
...
The problem arises when their is no place for such kind of outdoor games. then also we have good options open for us .
We can take our children to any children gym where they will get all those things to make their every body part work .and in a small place they will even enjoy the company of their peer ones.
We can take our children to some yoga centre also. This will not only help them to keem their body fit but also help to increase their mental capability.
Besides these their other options too like DANCING, MARTIAL ARTS, etc..
..................

Thus we find that their are so many ways we can take care of our child in a more better way we do. Though we must keep our aim to place our child at front of this competetive world but we must not forget one big saying
                                                " HEALTH IS WEALTH "
