Research shows children and young people who stay a healthy weight, tend to be fitter, healthier, better able to learn, and more self-confident. They're also much less likely to have health problems in later life.
Children and young people whose parents encourage them to be active and eat well are more likely to stay a healthy weight and grow up healthy.
