Health and Fitness Resources
Youth health and fitness are critical for overall well-being, with nearly 30% of adolescents classified as overweight or obese. Engaging in regular physical activity, such as sports or outdoor play, is essential to combat this trend, as it promotes healthy growth and reduces the risk of chronic diseases. Schools and community programs are increasingly focusing on nutrition education and providing access to healthy foods. Doing so fosters an environment that encourages physical activity and balanced eating.
