Infants Need to Sleep to Stay Fit
As far as sleep is concerned, get less of it and welcome many potential health risks to come your way. If this were the case for most adults, you can just imagine the impact that it would have on the babies and kids if they lack the proper sleeping hours to make sure that they remain healthy.
Such is a common issue for most but no thanks to the hazards that come our way due to environmental issues today, kids sleeping less may find their growth a bit bumpy. Diseases and illnesses are prowling each corner of the world today and once they find the right opening due to lack of nutrition and immunization, all hell will break lose in their bodies.
Staying fit can be done by eating right and following the normal diet. But sleep is likewise important. Make sure your kids get the right amount of sleep. Taking it for granted may prove to be entirely distressful.
TV viewing heightened the effect. The children who slept the least and watched the most television had the greatest chance of becoming obese.
A new Harvard study finds that babies and toddlers who sleep fewer than 12 hours daily are at greater risk for being overweight in preschool, startling evidence that the link between sleep and obesity may affect even very young children.
