SupportHow Sports Shape Healthier Kids?

In this episode of The Orange Club Podcast, Dietician Nidhi Nigam talks about one of the most underrated aspects of children’s health today: physical activity. While food and nutrition often get attention, exercise habits built in childhood can have an even more lasting impact.

Turning Play Into a Daily Habit
Nidhi believes that movement should never feel like a chore for children. The easiest way to build consistency is by making physical activity a natural part of their routine. Encouraging them to go outdoors, join a sport, or even just play with friends helps them stay active without the pressure of “working out.”
Sports: The Healthiest Kind of Discipline
Sports do more than burn calories. “My elder one plays basketball and my younger one is massively into cricket,” Nidhi shares. Through sports, children experience structured activity that includes warm-ups, physical movement, and cool-downs, all of which contribute to better stamina and strength. It’s recommended that children get at least 60 minutes of physical activity every day, something that sports naturally provide.
Building Focus, Confidence, and Healthy Habits for Life
Physical activity also helps shape the mind. Nidhi points out that kids who play sports often show greater focus, competitiveness, and self-discipline. These habits carry over into other parts of their lives. As they grow older, such children tend to continue exercising on their own because they’ve already experienced how good it feels to be active and strong.
From Playgrounds to Lifelong Fitness
The goal isn’t just to keep kids busy. It’s to help them build a mindset that values health and movement. When children grow up seeing physical activity as fun and rewarding, they naturally become adults who prioritize fitness without needing external motivation.
