    Encouraging children to lead a healthy life style is very important.  By instilling the importance of being healthy from a young age we can help to combat obesity and encourage children to take responsibility for their own healthy lifestyle.  Learning about healthy eating and exercise early on in life should help children to make the right choices and understand why these choices are necessary for their long term health.
