My kids know the importance of being active - and that's why teaming up with the USTA was such an organic fit for me. They are making strives to get families outside - and using tennis as a way to get kids to stay active.
Fruits and vegetables for some kids are scary and not fun.
The main thing is that it's nice to see these young people - 9 to 14 years old - take the opportunity to get more involved in their health and fitness. We need more kids to be more active.
Childhood obesity issue is critically important to me because it's critically important to the health and success of our kids, and of this nation, ultimately.
First off, do everything they can to give their kids the opportunities to play sports; asthma is not a deterrent to playing sports.
With this new initiative, Disney is doing what no major media company has ever done before in the United States. And what I hope every company will do going forward when it comes to the ads they show and the food they sell they're asking themselves one simple question: Is this good for our kids?
I'm teaming up with Quaker and PLAY 60 to encourage kids to eat right, stay active and do something outside for at least 60 minutes a day.
I like what Don Imus has done through the years to help kids with cancer at the Imus Ranch. He has raised awareness about autism. He has done any number of good things.
I really have a heart for children who suffer from cancer. I can't imagine having to go through that at such a young age.
We want a plan for a clean energy future...an end to global warming...Moms know about sustainable energy. After all, mother love is an unending supply and it keeps kids healthy.
It's important for moms, but also dads, to recognize that they're role models when it comes to their kids' physical health, when it comes to working out, and when it comes to nutrition.
I love kids, so two things that I have thought about are being a pediatrician or a kindergarten teacher.
I love my kids with all my heart and the last thing I want to worry about is the air they breathe.
When it comes to kids, it's just not hard to get them healthy. I don't find it hard and don't understand why people find it hard.
Getting kids moving is a key factor in tackling obesity and health problems among the young.
Being a role model is cool and a great honor. I'm grateful to be considered one and will live up to that title by encouraging kids to eat their Wheaties and brush their teeth often.
Teaching kids about health and fitness is important to me. It's about being fit for life.
My kids both had acne, and I never saw a book dealing with the subject.
One in four kids have either pre-diabetes or diabetes - what I like to call diabesity. How did this happen?
If the childhood obesity epidemic remains unchecked, it will condemn many of our kids to shorter lives, as well as the emotional and financial burdens of poor health.
Nutrition and sleep are two of the most underrated things, especially with younger kids.
My message with 'LazyTown' has always been really simple; I just want to get kids and families moving together.
We all can agree we want our kids active and moving and healthy. But we also have a right to know whether the turf fields our kids are playing on contain harmful chemicals.
I honestly think that kids should not exercise: they should keep fit through play. The most important age is zero to seven, both for the kid and the parent - for parents, because this is the time when your kid learns how to walk, talk and other behaviour.
I'd love to open up sessions at a Boys and Girls Club or something where kids can learn nutrition and how to exercise in a fun way. Especially for young guys. I'd love to be an inspiration.
