How to reduce chances of obesity in children

A recent study found that 3 habits are associated with reducing the chances of childhood obesity:

1. Eating dinner with your family more than 5 times a week
2. Sleeping at least 10.5 hrs
3. Watching less than 2 hrs of TV a day

Children that established the above habits were 40% less likely to be obese. Over 8000 kids 4 yr olds were included in the study and only about 15% practiced all 3 habits. So the lesson is, obesity in children is not only about eating junk food.
