Not even 1% of American children meet AHA’s definition of ideal heart health

Not even 1% of American children meet AHA’s definition of ideal heart health


"About 91 percent of U. S. children have poor diets, "because they're consuming sugary food and drinks." Only about half of young boys and a third of young girls between ages 6 and 11 are meeting the minimum recommended amount of physical activity per day of 60 minutes, according to the AHA. Those between ages 16 and 19 were even less likely to reach that goal."
