First Lady Obama’s ‘Let’s Move’ campaign emphasized the importance of keeping kids active to America.
According to Health.com, keeping your kids active physically will help pump up their grades in school! Studies have found that the more fit the student, the better their grades are. What an excellent initiative for not only keeping in better shape for their physical health but now for their mental health. After an evaluation of 1,200 students from 5th grade to 7th grade, those who were overweight or not physically active did poorly on reading, math, science and/or social studies. Those who were physically fit excelled in each academic subject.

”Children’s physical fitness is associated with their academic performance,” said study author Lesley Cottrell, an associate professor of pediatrics at West Virginia University, in Morgantown.
