Or do you hate being told to go for a run when your favorite TV show is on? Well,maybe you should listen to your parents because they are only trying to help you.Without proper diet and exercise kids are at risk of developing fragile bones when they get older.That’s because our bodies are very good at building bones until about the age of 30,when the process stops.
