While you are at school the lunch is also just as bad. Go home and eat another fatty snack. For dinner you eat McDonald’s. Now imagine that for your everyday routine. Think about how much weight you would gain at a very young age. But if you took more than just one physical education class while you were in high school, you would be able to learn that you should not eat like that every single day. Regular physical activity is associated with a healthier, longer life style, and with a lower risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, and most of all obesity. Despite all the benefits of physical activity has also contributed to a sharp increase in childhood obesity in the last decade. Given the fact the regular physical activity will help younger people stay healthier, and is an essential, component of childhood development, it is important that this be included as part of the regular school curriculum. Physical education is an important aspect of any school student’s curriculum. A daily well programmed and appropriately monitored physical students to increase their self-esteem, develop the knowledge, attitude, discipline, and confidence needed to maintain active lifestyles and acquire the skills needed to develop a positive attitude towards physical activity that will last a lifetime.
