Make Healthy Eating a Family Affair
With the growing concerns regarding an increase in the number of overweight children and adolescents, and related health issues, establishing healthy eating habits early in life is important for life-long health and disease prevention. Healthy habits start with the family; being a good role model, providing nutritious foods while limiting high calorie, lower nutrient foods is key. Include your children and teens in family menu planning, age-appropriate assistance with meal preparation and grocery shopping, etc. as often as possible to get them on board with healthy eating.
