Would it surprise you to know that one out of three kids is now considered overweight or obese in the United States?  Much of what we eat is quick and easy, from fat-laden fast food to microwave and prepackaged meals.  Nowadays, most everyone is so over scheduled that there is little time to prepare healthier meals or to squeeze in some exercise. Portion sizes, in the home and out, have become much larger. Plus, more than ever, life is sedentary; kids spend more time playing with electronic devices, from computers to handheld video game systems, than actively playing outside.

Watching too much television is one of the most obvious reasons for of lack of exercise. Kids younger than 6 spend an average of 2 hours a day in front of a television screen. Older kids and teens spend almost 4 hours a day watching TV or videos. When computer use and video games are included, time spent in front of a screen increases to over 5 hours a day. Kids who watch more than 4 hours a day usually have a higher chance of being overweight compared with kids who watch 2 hours or less.

The worst part of all is that during their youth, overweight children and adolescents are more likely to have risk factors associated with cardiovascular disease (such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and Type 2 diabetes) than are other children and adolescents.  Overweight children and adolescents are more likely to become obese as adults. For example, one study found that approximately 80% of children who were overweight at 10-15 years of age were obese adults at age 25. Another study found that 25% of obese adults were overweight as children. The latter study also found that if overweight begins before 8 years of age, obesity in adulthood has a higher tendency to be severe and morbid.

Tips for parents to encourage healthy lifestyles in children:

• Set a positive example by leading an active lifestyle yourself, and make physical activity part of your family’s daily routine such as designating time for family walks or playing active games together. 
• Provide opportunities for children to be active by playing with them. Give them active toys and equipment, and take them to places where they can be active.
• Offer positive reinforcement for the physical activities in which your child participates and appropriately push them to continually try new activities. 
• Make physical activity fun. Fun activities can be anything the child enjoys, either structured or non-structured. They may range from team sports, individual sports, and/or recreational activities such as walking, running, skating, bicycling, swimming, playground activities, and free-time play. 
• Ensure that the activity is age appropriate and, to ensure safety, provide protective equipment such as helmets, wrist pads, and knee pads. 
• Locate places such as parks and ball fields that make it easy to play outside. 
• Monitor and lower the amount of time your children view the television or play video games to no more than two hours per day.

Encouraging your children to play outside in your own backyard is made easier by having equipment such as swing sets, play gyms, and outdoor playhouses.  All of these types of play equipment encourage both exercise and the use of your children’s imagination. Outdoor playhouses allow many hours fun play for kids while promoting exercise and healthy habits all at the same time.  It is not necessary to spend a large amount of money on a new tree house or fancy club house when many existing backyard playsets can be easily converted to include a vinyl playhouse by simply having a vinyl enclosure custom made. Even on a rainy day, a custom outdoor vinyl playhouse can become a secret fort, a dollhouse, or a ship at sea.

Apartment hunting is fun and stressful. There are many possibilities when it comes to apartments and you are going to have a lot of possibilities. There are also a lot of questions that you will want to ask yourself before you commit to an apartment.

You will first want to decide how long you will be living in the apartment. This will dictate the type of apartment that you are going to look for. If you don’t need a whole lot of space then chances are that you will be okay in a one-bedroom apartment. If you have a lot of stuff or if you need an office, then you may want to consider a two-bedroom apartment. Most leases will require that you commit to living in the apartment for at least one year. If this is too long, you may also be able to find a month-to-month apartment.

The size of the apartment may also be dependent on whether or not you are going to have a roommate. Before you make this decision you will need to research the cost of rent in your area and what you would want the roommate to help you pay for. If rent in your area is more than you can afford by yourself, then you are going to need a roommate to help pay for some of it. Before you choose a roommate you will need to find someone that is compatible with you. You do not want to find a roommate that you are going to find yourself constantly fighting and arguing with.

Most apartments tend to be small and this can make living with a roommate difficult. Many people don’t do well together when they are living in tight quarters. You will share many things with your roommate including utilities, house supplies, television and music. There are many factors to consider when deciding on whether or not to have a roommate.

Another aspect to apartment life is the amenities that are provided to you. The more amenities that are offered; the more you are going to pay in rent. Amenities may include a swimming pool, gym, laundry machines, location and size. This is where you are going to want to begin prioritizing your apartment needs and wants. If you are going to have a roommate, you will both need to decide how much each of you are willing to spend.

An important aspect of your apartment search is going to be where the apartment is located. Even if you have lived in the city or town for an extended period of time, you are going to need to decide on what neighborhood you want to live in. Take the time to research the different areas and then find one that you can feel safe and happy living in. You should visit several complexes in several different neighborhoods before you make your final decision on where you want to live. You may find that one neighborhood in particular is nice, close to your work and close to shopping. This may be the ideal place for you.
