...1.2 Explain the importance of exercise and physical activity for children Exercise is very important for children as it had many physical and emotional benefits and helps to keep children healthy. Regular exercise supports the development of bones and helps to build strong bones which helps children to grow. Exercise also helps children’s heart to develop and grow in a healthy way and reduces the chance of a child developing heart disease when they are older. Regular exercise helps children’s lungs to become strong and healthy and to function well. It also makes the children’s immune system stronger which means that the child is less likely to become poorly as the immune system will fight off infections.

...Economic Outlook, Prospects, and Policy Challenges 01 CHAPTER This year’s Economic Survey comes at a time of unusual volatility in the international economic environment. Markets have begun to swing on fears that the global recovery may be faltering, while risks of extreme events are rising. Amidst this gloomy landscape, India stands out as a haven of stability and an outpost of opportunity. Its macro-economy is stable, founded on the government’s commitment to fiscal consolidation and low inflation. Its economic growth is amongst the highest in the world, helped by a reorientation of government spending toward needed public infrastructure.
