Health and Diet
Set a good example. The risk of a non-obese child (aged 3 or under) becoming an obese adult almost triples if both parents are obese. The study examined the health records of more than 800 young adults aged 23-29, and compared their height and weight measurements (body mass index) since birth with those of their parents. The study also concluded that obese teens have more than a 50 percent chance of becoming obese adults, even if neither parent is obese.
Fitness
Sleep better with aerobics. Doing aerobic activity between 4 and 6 pm might help you sleep. Aerobic workouts raise your body temperature and metabolism, which is exactly the opposite of what occurs with sleep. When you exercise in the late afternoon, you’ll experience a steep drop in temperature by the time you go to sleep, potentially making it deeper and more satisfying.
