"Regular time in nature is a critical tool that can be used to prevent obesity and encourage physical activity, at no cost. Getting kids outdoors can improve our nation's physical and mental health. Kids who spend time outdoors reap the benefits of greater school readiness, creativity, self-sufficiency, and confidence.Silly advice for many since access to the out of doors, i.e., nature in the wild, is limited, and exercise is an extremely inefficient way to manage/shed weight.
'To support these efforts, the Federation has developed a Be Out There parent education program which includes its Green Hour Activities Guides-designed to help parents and children get an hour per day-whenever possible-of outdoor time. The NWF Green Hour is in keeping with the CDC policy for children to have an hour per day of light to moderate physical activity daily to control obesity.'"
One cannot always pack the family and gear in the station wagon, and head to the wilderness.
And even if we are talking just going out to play, the fact is that is often time-consuming times two - both the kid and the parent need to be outside particularly when the kid is young.
This advice is emblematic of the inconsideration of people's real lives that dominates weight loss advice.
You want to control weight?
First gain control over caloric intake, then the rest will follow.
