dynamicparentsJapanese children have one of the lowest obesity rates in the world largely due to a culture that prioritizes balanced nutrition, daily movement, and independence from a young age. School lunches in Japan are freshly prepared, portion-controlled, and emphasize vegetables, fish, and rice rather than processed or sugary foods. Meanwhile, most children walk or bike to school—often without parental supervision—which naturally builds physical endurance, cardiovascular health, and self-confidence while reducing sedentary time. This daily routine, combined with smaller portion sizes, minimal snacking, and an emphasis on mindful eating and communal meals, creates a lifestyle where movement and moderation are part of childhood itself—not something to be scheduled later as “exercise.”FOLLOW @dynamicparents for more! ❤️💙Source: @thediaryofaceopodcast @johann.hari @dynamicparents exists to support you in raising confident, connected, and resilient children, one intentional step at a time.Share with a parent who needs to see this.
