Discussion Thread.

What are some habits and lifestyle choices that a person can take before having children that would positively affect their development and health?

What are habits and lifestyles that should be encouraged in small children that would benefit their future health?

What are the evidences and mechanisms? Where can one find out more about it?

For example, there is research suggesting that gestational swimming in rats benefits the behavioural, cognitive and physical health of the offspring (in normal and ADHD model animals) .

1) eat a truly healthy diet, so learn to cook properly and balance meals
2) reduce stress levels
3) establish a healthy sleep routine.
4) try to live near enough to close relatives that they can lend a hand.

That makes sense, but I would think that the problem is that exposing children to computers and the internet is a sign that they don't have the opportunity to do essential things for child development, like playing physically with others.

There's also some evidence for this increasing risk of myopia.

And, shit, I love the spacing and never used reddit, it's just organized.

well, don't space all your sentences by newlines, otherwise you get memed with the "reddit spacing" meme. it's a classic 4chin meme to dismiss people's arguments on very superficial grounds.

no, computers actually negatively impact children's mental health. the internet is a very dirty, disgusting, and dangerous place in terms of the ideas that get posted to it, and children should not get introduced to that until they are in adolescent years (or maybe 12-ish year olds with proper supervision)

the fact that gen-X and older millenials are handing their kids iPads at 3 with no parental controls just leads to kids stumbling on fetish porn sites when they are 11. or worse, they find infinitychan or stormfront or erowid or any of the very mentally cancerous places on the internet. protecting children from the absolute shit that dominates the internet is important and not appreciated by people who didn't grow up with it. i was on fucking rotten.com when i was 11 in 2000 and saw 9/11 conspiracy theories when i was 12 in 2001 and even though i feel i managed to deal with that, being exposed to it when i was young was harmful

Yes, I wonder how great is the effect of sleep on growth.

I would say that's very important and not many realize it. Working parents and loneliness certainly have a very deleterious effect. I think it makes one less emotionally prepared to face the world in general.

yeah, thinking about it, it's really disgusting seeing children glued to screens knowing what's out here. I've wasted my fair share of years on the internet and it didn't help one bit.

and thanks for the tip

there are studies by the US military into recruit fitness and there has been a deeply worrying rise in those deemed seriously unfit or even having serious fractures or injuries during the training phase.

oh that's actually a really interesting subject. i've wondered about what causes this trend downwards in fitness. it is said that it has to do with the modern lifestyle and less need for physical work. but i think that the effect may start very early and permanetly dimish a person's fitness, kinda like what mike mew says happens to teeth, but with the whole bone and muscular development. i gonna look for that study

i've noticed that many of my friends are weaker than their fathers, but that doen't mean much.

Me I grew up on a dairy farm, so we was always involved with handling the stock or clearing up. and grew some of our own food
I've gotten fatter and weaker since I stopped though, probably a lot tougher than the average person
though staying active with medium distance running will probably help with bone strength.
