Silent Killers of Your Metabolism

Your metabolism is responsible for turning calories into energy. A slow metabolism can lead to a build up of calories, stored as fat for later use. Ultimately, this leads to unwanted weight gain and, if unchecked, obesity. In the following infographic, we’re highlighting a number of factors that are wreaking havoc on your metabolism. Before we outline the specific factors, we’ll provide a brief overview of metabolism and obesity trends in America. From there, we’ll present in detail the most common factors that may be affecting your metabolism. This includes things like nutrition habits, sleep deprivation, stress, and unhealthy toxins. After we’ve gone through each factor, we’ll finish up by providing a few recommendations on how to improve your metabolism. While many factors can affect your metabolism, easy steps can be taken to reverse the trend, revive metabolism, help increase fat loss, and revitalize overall health.

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.
