Research in exercise science confirms that physical activity can help prevent type 2 diabetes, as well as help patients manage its effects. To assist consumers and exercise professionals in fighting type 2 diabetes, the ACSM has released recommendations in the February issue of its flagship journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise.

It's School Health Week.
An active child = a mental healthy child.
Exercise can increase your child’s performance at school.
Biokineticists can help by prescribing the correct type of exercises which are safe for your children and monitor their response to the exercises. Biokineticists are part of the health professional medical team and work together with other professionals to help a child with mental conditions and to overcome it.
60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity per day is recommended for children between 8-18yrs.
Exercise and being physical active as a child act in different ways on the brain that can help improve the following:
• mood and behaviour
• focus and concentration
• reducing future depressive symptoms
It has a positive effect on creating mentally healthy children improving their ability to control mood and behaviour to function better in the classroom and in society.
