Walk More

Teach your kids to incorporate exercise into their lives by walking more. 

Walk to the neighbors instead of driving. 
Take the stairs instead of elevator. 
Walk the dog (twice a day!)
Take family walks on the weekend

Teaching your children to do this now will help it become a life long habit and will keep them healthier all their life.

Encourage Healthy Eating

If you provide your children with healthy eating habits now you will help them for a lifetime. 

Have a bowl of fruit on the table for easy snacking.

Encourage drinking water instead of soda

Serve dinner with two vegetables instead of one vegetable and bread.

Read the nutrition labels and resist buying high fat foods.
