Want your kid to be healthy and active??? Want to know one of the major reasons for your kid's weight gain??? This is definitely less number of hours of sleep of your kid...

Recently, in a survey done on 10 - 12 years age group of kids in Netherlands, the authorities have observed those kids who are able to sleep not for more than 7 hours are gaining weight irrespective of healthy food and exercise when compared to those who are at least managing to get a 9 to 10 hours sleep.

The reason being, the kids of 10 - 12 years age group, have got a lot to study, indulge in extracurricular activities and exercising such as jogging and cycling, playing games and what not... as a result kids will be tired by the end of the day... with no time to get a proper sleep and rest, their body system goes upside down and as a result, their structure grows more than regular...

So, it is not just busy daily routine and career, your kid getting a good percentage in academics, but for them taking a proper rest and staying away from unwanted weight gain is also important... hence, a good night sleep is required for your kid...
