Do your kids spend more time in front of the couch or on the computer than they spend outside playing? They could be setting themselves up for a lifetime of bad health and lifestyle habits.

Childhood obesity is rapidly becoming more preva...lent, with estimates that by 2025, one third of all Aussie children will be overweight or obese. Associated health disorders include type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, asthma, hypertension and sleep apnea.

Perhaps one of the scariest statistics is that, based on present trends, it is predicted that by the time they reach the age of 20, our kids will have a shorter life expectancy than earlier generations simply due to obesity.
