Jock or Geek...Both!

Info from today's USA Today with credit to Nanci Hellmich

According to a study presented at the annual meeting of the Obesity Society
in Phoenix.

When researchers at the Medical College of Georgia studied and compared 49 normal-weight kids, age 8-11, both active and sedentary to their sedentary overweight peers they found...

Overweight kids scored lower on cognitive tests than normal-weight
kids.

Sedentary kids, whether over weight or normal weight, scored lower than
active kids.

So get those kids off the couch and away from the X-box and get them moving and playing.
