Being active is important for children, and it should start at a young age. Parents are role models, and children learn by watching them. Physical activity, along with healthy eating, helps prevent diseases like heart disease, cancer, and stroke. Being active helps children stay at a healthy weight, build strong muscles and bones, and reduce the risk of obesity. Children should get at least 60 minutes of active play every day.
