May is almost over, but not before we stop and recognize it as National Physical Fitness and Sports Month. In 1983, President Reagan encouraged Americans of all ages to incorporate more activity into their lives, and the reminder is even more important today, as kids everywhere are distracted more and more by TV, social networking and video games. But kids living an active lifestyle can - and do -improve their health, productivity and overall well-being.
At Kim Orthodontics, we always encourage our patients to stay fit by exercising or participating in sports. We want to remind you, however, to always wear a mouth guard or other forms of facial protection when playing sports. To learn more about how often your child should exercise, we recommend you check out these helpful articles about kids and exercise, courtesy of our friends at KidsHealth.org.
Happy Monday and have a great week everyone!!
