Healthy Body, Healthy Mind - The Benefits of Physical Activity in School

Cutting PE out of schools is backfiring in a big way, contributing to our rampant childhood obesity epidemic and actually hindering students from top success in academic classes like science, math, and English.

Children should get about an hour of physical activity per day, something that’s vital to their growing bones, joints, fascia, and muscles. But more and more children are spending less time in PE class and outside playing and more time planted in their seats. This doesn’t just present immediate problems to the kids suffering from being overweight or obese; it poses dangerous long-term problems to their health and the progress of our nation too.

SPARK has been dedicated to being an advocate for PE and the fight against childhood obesity since 1989 by providing PE lesson plans, PE resources for teachers, and even a PE grant finder tool. Our infographic below examines why PE is so important, outlining current stats on PE and childhood obesity and the benefits of keeping PE in school.

The Many Health Benefits of Golf

Playing golf brings you many health benefits. Sure, it’s relaxing and fun, but golf is also great exercise for your body, mind, and spirit.

Playing golf burns calories, gets you moving, restores balance, builds brain power, and makes you happier overall. Did you know that walking an 18-hole round of golf is roughly the same as a 5-mile walk? And that a 5-mile walk provides the recommended daily number of steps adults should take?

If you want to experience the health benefits of playing golf, ditch the golf cart and caddy, if possible. Walking and carrying your clubs help you burn even more calories and get more physical activity. Walking the course also offers more of an opportunity to enjoy the beautiful scenery—and if you’re golfing on any of JC Golf’s San Diego golf courses, there’s certainly no shortage of beauty around you.

In the following infographic, we’re shedding light on the truth behind one of the most famous and well-known real-life characters of Wall Street. We’ll start by outlining a bit about Jordan Belfort in his early years. Next, we’ll detail how he got started in the business of investing. Finally, we’ll explain when and why he got indicted, and what he’s been up to in recent years.
