Holidays are the prime time for excessive weight gain in kids. The 'Life on Holidays' study found that children's body fat increased at a faster pace during school holidays than during in-school periods.
Like all of us, kids (and their parents) deserve some holiday downtime, but the way they spend their time on holidays is very different from the school term -- and in ways which is not always good for children's health. On school holidays, kids are significantly less active than when they're at school, and this translates into higher body fat percentages and lower levels of fitness.
