In a world where children's excess weight and obesity is considered one of the pandemics of the 21st century, Nutri Ventures is the first worldwide game exclusively created to encourage children to develop healthy eating habits. 

My usual readers know I write often about kids' healthy life.

Some thoughts: 

Getting kids outside teaches them about the world around and gives them an appreciation of nature while providing an opportunity for sunshine and exercise.

Healthy eating habits are very important in a fast-food world! 

NV Runners is based on the well know heroes from The Nutri Ventures televisionIt is already available in 20 countries reaching more than 220 million kids and young adolescents.
