Sluggishness Hits Teens

Research shows that fewer than 3 percent of American 15-year olds get some exercise most days. This is a terrible statistic. If this inactivity is continued into adulthood – well the results could be advanced heart disease at an early age.

Last week I wrote about 8-year olds starting on statin drugs. Now a study out of Chicago shows that 15-year olds get very little exercise. The average 8-year old got 3 hours a day of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity, whereas the average 15-year old got one hour.

I know I keep writing about this, but our society has to start eating right and exercising.
