rift us platcontinue to invent interactive video games that are promising to turn your kid from couch potato to active moving, jumping, swinging, game player.
"We are up off the couch, no longer are we sitting around just pressing buttons, people are playing Wii boxing and actually losing weight, kids are no longer wasting away, sitting around button pressing, they are playing tennis, they are actually bowling, they are playing baseball," says Amber McCollom of Nintendo of America.
But, while these new interactive games continue to fly off the shelves, medical experts caution parents. hirty percent of our kids are overweight, and we're not talking about morbidly obese, we're talking about overweight, which is very very significant. It is encouraging them to be more physically active, that can't hurt but, on the other hand my concern is it may be getting them more and more addicted to video games,?explains weight loss specialist, Dr. Ibrahim Ibrahim of Englewood Hospital.
