Body AND Mind
A new study suggests that overweight teens are less likely to attend college.
Overweight Kids: College Less Likely
This study shouldn’t come as a surprise. The body and mind are connected. Train the body, and the mind will come along for the ride. Neglect the body, and your mind will also be neglected.
Train The Body, The Mind Will Follow

Once again we need to examine how the school/educational system has failed us. While it is important for our kids to learn the basic academic skills, they should also be taught proper life skills starting at the kindergarten level. How to exercise, why to exercise, proper eating habits etc. There must be a regimented system of physical education daily, involving a variety of activities to get and keep the kids in shape and help them to feel good about themselves. Although this will probably never come about, it is needed and long overdue.
An article from International Herald Tribune says even more. You’re more likely to get obese when your friends are obese:

Hmm, what would Stephen Hawking say about this?
