INFOGRAPHIC: Active vs inactive child
What are the differences between an active and an inactive child? Here's an eye-opening infographic

MANILA, Philippines – Is your child on an iPad or Playstation all day? When it comes to keeping kids healthy, parents don’t usually think about physical playtime. But did you know that being active in play is actually a great way for kids to be fit and smart? In the United States, physically active children were consistently smarter than obese kids, according to a study 

A growing amount of research suggests that kids around the world are not getting the right amount of physical activity that they need. This, coupled with poor diet, has led to the increased rate of obesity among children around the world. According to the American Heart Association, kids who are overweight are more prone to illnesses such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease.

The World Health Organization says that active play has physical and psychological benefits for children. They recommend at least 60 minutes of playtime for kids everyday. Kids who play more and eat a balanced diet are simply healthier, smarter, and happier. 

In the infographic below, we’ve summarized the key differences between an active and inactive child. Which one is your child? Make a change before it’s too late. – Rappler.com
