What we eat and whether we exercise or not, makes a difference in our lives. Surveys show that Maltese people are still confirmed as the most obese nation in the European Union.

When parents buy technology to keep their children quiet, what they are doing is that they encourage them to sit down and play on these games instead of urging them to exercise.
