The greatest legacy one can pass on to one's children and grandchildren is not money or other material things accumulated in one's life, but rather a legacy of healthy body, mind, and character. Children’s health is becoming a matter of concern globally. According to a WHO report, 71% of boys and 76% of girls in the age group of 11-16 years in India are physically inactive. School children in India, irrespective of age group and gender, are lagging far behind as far as health and fitness levels are concerned. .
Obese children tend to fall prey to lifestyle diseases to the extent of 60-70% when they reach their 30s and 40s (the most productive years of their lives). Being the second most populated country in the world, the situation is alarming in India. A study published in Pediatric Obesity predicts that India will have about 17 million obese children by 2025. Another study shows that about 97,000 children in India suffer from type 1 diabetes.
