Healthful habits for kids diet and exercise advised
The American Heart Association urges healthy children over age two to eat a varied diet with less than 300 mg cholesterol daily and 7 to 10 percent saturated fat, plus under 30 percent total fat. Regular activity counters sedentary time and builds lifelong cardiovascular health. Dr. Fundador Adajar notes his cardiovascular and internal medicine board credentials at Eastern New Mexico Medical Center since 2002. Health Matters columns aim to inform, not diagnose, with expert contact for future topics.
