Answers:
He definitely needs to exercise more!. And he needs your help to make it fun and rewarding!. Try to find fun activities for you and your spouse to do with him that get him being more active!. He's only 8 so he can't really buy food on his own and prepare it for himself I assume!. So that means it's largely up to you to keep healthy food in the house and the junk food OUT! You are also most likely responsible for teaching him bad eating habits just by him watching what you eat!. If you eat unhealthily, so will he!. Always encourage him and do your best to keep his self esteem up!.

If you as a family eat healthier and do more active things I think he will catch on and besides you will ALL be happier!.

Good luck and hope it works out for you! :)Www@Answer-Health@Com
