Overweight Kids Who Exercise Improve Thinking & Math Skills

Last Thursday I wrote about Junk Food and Your Child’s IQ and here is another study that shows that when overweight, sedentary kids start to exercise regularly, their ability to think, to plan and even to do math improves. Childhood obesity is for the most part preventable and as adults we have a responsibility to our kids and our country to ensure the health and brainpower of our younger generations. One way that we can help kids to desire more exercise and healthier food is to teach them self-hypnosis. Children are naturals with hypnosis. Not only can they use hypnotherapy for exercise and healthy eating, it can help them enhance academic performance. Find out how you and your children can learn hypnosis and improve the health, wellness and brainpower of your family.

FRIDAY, February 11, 2011, (HealthDay News): The study in the January issue of Health Psychology, shows that exercise was linked to increased activity in the parts of the brain associated with complex thinking and self-control, according to brain imaging scans analyzed by the researchers. The more the kids exercised, the more the intelligence-test scores went up. This implies that chronic sedentary behavior is compromising children’s ability and achievement.

Although this study was done among overweight children, she believes that similar results would be seen in normal-weight kids.

With one-third of U.S. children overweight, exercise needs to become an essential part of children’s lives. It seems a no-brainer that for kids’ brains to be healthy, they should be encouraged to participate in regular exercise and given the time and place for it We need to turn off the computers, TVs, cell phones and iPads and let kids do what they do naturally: Run around and play.”
