KIDS ARE BAD FOR PARENTS’ HEALTH

A new study has found that the mothers and fathers of toddlers are more unhealthy than couples without kids.

Mothers with young children are heavier and eat more calories and fatty foods, and consume more sugary drinks than childless women — and interestingly both sexes are less active than those in their age group without children.

Parents often opt for quick, easily prepared foods that are high in fat and calories. Mothers had an average of 2,360 calories daily, 368 calories more than women without children.
