3 routines to reduce child obesity

4-year-olds that had 3 simple routines had a 40% lower prevalence of obesity. The 3 routines are:
  1. Eating dinner as a family 5x a week
  2. Getting enough sleep
  3. Limiting TV time

The finding comes from new research from the National center for Eduction Statistics. Also found in the survey, adopting one of these routines will benefit the child but the strongest results were seen when all three routines were followed.
