It is important for children to develop healthy habits early in life that last a lifetime. Establishing a regular schedule for physical activities is a priority. Combining regular exercise with a healthy diet is the key to a healthy lifestyle and it is never too early to start. Kids are now at a higher risk for diabetes, high blood pressure and high cholesterol than at any time in history. This generation of children is the first generation predicted to have a shorter lifespan than their parents. Physical education teachers are now in the life saving business as well as being educators. Kids should be active for a minimum of one hour a day to ensure a healthy lifestyle. All MATP programs are designed to assist in achieving this lifestyle. Games/activities:
