1 Taylor County FCS Extension News May 2017 Time to Get Out and Play As spring is here and the weather gets nicer, it is time to get your children outside to play. There are many advantages for children engaging in outside play, including reducing their screen time. All winter they have spent their free time connected to a screen TVs, smartphones, video games, notebooks, etc. This is a habit that may have long term results. A study done by St. George s University of London showed the amount of screen time is related to risk factors for childhood type 2 diabetes. This was not a small study. The researchers looked at about 4,500 students who were 9-10 years old, assessed their risk factors, and asked about their screen time habits. Children who had more than 3 hours of screen time were more likely to have higher total body fat than children who spent less than one hour devoted to screen time. This was not related to the amount of physical activity in which the children engaged. The data showed a direct link to screen time. Since there is a similar risk for adults, spring is a perfect time to go outside and play with your children. Taylor County 1143 South Columbia Campbellsville, KY (270) Fax: (270) Plate It Up!
