Good afternoon everyone,
While out running my bootcamp this week. I thought about the vast amount of child obesity in our society. So I thought that I would talk a little bit about how to improve in your own household if this in fact is an issue for you or someone you may know.

It is often said that a family that prays together stays together. I find that to be very true. Well this is also the case with activity and eating habits. Take a walk to the local park with your child, or walk the dog together. Go out and maybe play a little catch. Get out in the beautiful outdoors together. Set the example. Go for a bike ride together.

If video games are an issue. Set a time limit. Get a wii. Play wii fit, or dance revolution. But still, make time for outside activities as a family as well.

Set the example with eating habits with healthy food snack choices. Keep fresh fruits and raw veggies in the fridge for convenience. Low fat yogurts and string cheese, raw and roasted nut snacks are great ideas as well. Again set the example and as a family snack with good decisions.

Crystal light and 100 percent juice are great choices as well as plain water with lemon.

Children will follow your lead. Healthy choices do not have to be boring. Try fat free jellos and puddings. Frozen fat free pudding pops. Have fun and make great choices. Keeping your family healthy.



Until next time,
Bridging the wellness gap for you
