While it may be a challenge to get kids away from the television and computer,

studies suggest that short bursts of exercise – as little as 15 minutes – can dramatically reduce your child’s risk of Type 2 diabetes. For adults, 30 minutes a day or more of exercise is recommended to reduce yours.

  1. Enjoy a canoe trip
