TLDR
Health, Obesity and Genes, the science of healthy living cuts risk with 50% even with 'bad' genes
Middlesbrough currently has the highest level of obese children ranging from 4 to 11 year old in the UK. In total England is estimated to have
198,036 overweight or obese children in that age group. But pointing that out has nothing to do with good looks and physical ideals, it is not about fat shaming, but
it has to do with health, however. Adults decide what children eat and how sedentary they are in that age group. At home, and at school.
So be an adult and make healthier choices for all those children's future health. Sedentary living and unhealthy food choices, or simply overeating hurt individual health,
and there is no way around that.
It also puts a serious resource drain on society from food produce, waste, pollution and health care. Elevated blood pressure and type two diabetes, low self-esteem, anxiety and depression.
And various cardiovascular issues, a lack of strength and lean muscle mass, and unhealthy amounts of body fat. A weak spine, cognitive changes, lower back pain and hip and knee issues are just some of the many negative outcomes of not promoting daily physical activity and healthy food choices.
And no, bad or good genes hardly ever matter when compared to the impact of your own daily choices.
Last few years, science studies on hundreds of thousands of people have clearly shown that people with "bad" genetics still cut their chances of suffering a
heart attack or other cardiovascular issues with 50% if they do not smoke, and choose to eat well, exercise and stay healthy toned. And the opposite is also true, great genes health and body benefits do not hold up that well if you eat like shit and go full on sedentary. The world's best genetics can never outrun a sedentary and unhealthy lifestyle.
Health is all about the expression, use it or lose it, as someone very wise, once upon a time made immortal.

The Mouse In our Wall
We play in the snow, under the shooting star
Told to you, as I once told, a mind and girly soul, so beautiful.
Inside the walls of our homes, and lives. There are Undraped windows through which we see both in and out, and at night I look out and up with you.
A shooting star stirs and moves the northern lights. Like a spoon through water, it moves before our eyes. Clear as day yet slightly obfuscated through the sheets of glass, the world is silent and it could be a dream as I witness the star cut through the puffy clouds.
And at night.
Some other times, there we are, walking through life's small moments and we are holding hands.
Together, we stand outside having walked amongst the falling leafs and the subtle snow.
Rain or sunshine matters not.
Looking in, through the of night, all chilly frosty glass, the burning lamps the pleasant light and warmth that moves and lives inside.
Is it empty we ask out loud, or is there someone looking out? Back at us. Do they hear our silent minds, can they feel our burning soul and warming hands.
In between these two sides. Neither looking in or out. Or perhaps, they do them both all the time.
There live a gnarly little furry mouse that moves about with his love and all their friends.
At night, you can hear them talk and hug it out. They move, play and dart around, inside and outside the walls that people build. Sometimes they walk our floors, sitting near, our sleeping faces.
We kiss and make a cute little snowy angel. Your arms wisp around and I kiss your pretty lips, yet again.
And right there. In the corner of my eye. I swear the little mice sits right nearby. Looking out at us as we hug it out.
And perhaps he too thinks the very same. Looking out and about, at us and all the shooting stars.
