Computer games can keep children slim

Posted by liam on February 20, 2007 3:36 PM | 

Interesting story published in the Liverpool Daily Post. Rather than contributing to childhood obesity as in the past (by causing children to be less active), the new generation of computers may help combat it.

Experts at Liverpool John Moores say new-style games consoles such as the Nintendo Wii, where players use body movements to control the game, help burn calories and increase heart rates.blockquote>

Its probably stating the bloody obvious, but consoles and games which require kids to bounce around rather than sitting around pressing buttons will be better for a child's health.
