The Medical Risks

Pale Kids

As mentioned before, being a Pale Kid is a dangerous thing. For one, it can have several medical risks. These can be very life threatening and very dangerous to a Pale Kid, so be sure to read about the risks and keep yourself safe and healthy!

-Obesity
Since Pale Kids rarely get out of the house and never get up from their computer desk, they have a very high risk of being overweight or obese. Obesity can lead to other very dangerous diseases like Heart Disease and Diabetes. Try putting your child on a diet and attempt to get them to exercise. There is much information out there on obesity cures, so do some research.

-Vitamin D Deficiency
Sunlight is the primary form of Vitamin D. When you are out in the sun, your body makes it�s own vitamin D. But people who never are in the sun, like Pale Kids, cannot make their own vitamin D and therefore they are probably deficient in this vitamin. If you child refuses to go out into the sun, force them to take Vitamin D supplements. If this problem is ignored, it will be very dangerous later on in life.

-Incrased Sunburn Risk
Since Pale Kids usually have very pale skin, this increases their chances of getting sunburns when they do go outside. The more sunburns a child has, the more risks he/she has for skin cancer. The best possible way to expose your child to sunlight is very GRADUALLY.

-Weak Muscles
Since a Pale Kid sits on the computer most of their days, it could be that they have very little muscle mass since these muslces are rarely being used. These kids have to take special precaution to their bodies to make sure they don't strain their muscles and get a sprain or tear in the muscle. To improve their muscular strengh, start with simple weight lifting and GRADUALLY increase weight so that they don't hurt themselves.

-Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Computer addicts usually spend a large amount of time typing. As you probably know, this can easily cause Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Read up on the information that is provided about this disease. To prevent this illness, make sure that your child's wrists are are not resting on the keyboard and are held up.

If your child is known to be a Pale Kid, take them in to the doctor for a physical as soon as possible. The medical professional will address any problems and recommend the best solution.
