Stressed Out Parents Can Affect Their Kids Health

October 23, 2012

"Researchers at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia recently discovered that increased parental stress is related to higher rates of childhood obesity and fast food consumption, along with lower rates of physical activity.

In particular, the study found that, for parents who are more stressed out, their children consume fast food more often than the kids of parents who are less stressed out."
