My personal experience with nutrition makes me consider the childhood years as the deciding factor in regards to living healthy without much time or resources allocated towards personal health. There are outliers, such as genetics and parenting will limit a child or not but I can only assume it’s a struggle starting unhealthy in the early to late 20s. All my childhoods friends that were into skateboarding, biking or another intense activity from sun rise to sunset cannot put on weight. Typically have healthy skin unless acne prone and are very coordinated with balancing. The reason this article compelled me to write is because the next generation of parenting is restricting kids from the freedom of outside activities unless a parent is there with the kids. There will be a lot of lacking factors besides vitamin D and it’s terrible to think about. I’ve been a person who has most of my life believed that deterrents should exist against parents who let there kids become unhealthy. It seems we’re heading the opposite direction.
- dTal 8y agoMight you be confusing correlation and causality? Whatever caused your childhood friends to be into intense physical sports, might also be the cause of their adulthood health - perhaps a natural inclination to physical activity, or maybe an unusually fast metabolism that gives them lots of energy to burn. Not to suggest that you're wrong - childhood exercise probably is very important, and is under threat.
