What can families do about the childhood obesity epidemic?
Posted by:
Get started and get moving! Focus on healthy habits for the whole family. More: physical activity and playtime, sleep, fruits, vegetables, whole grains and fiber rich foods, real food, water, fat free/low fat dairy, family dinners at home. Less: screen time (no more than 2 hours per day), sugary foods, sugary drinks, super-sized foods and beverages, low fiber foods, high fat foods, meals in front of the TV. Help children recognize hunger, when to stop eating and avoid the trap of the “clean plate club”. Support and get involved in your school’s health and wellness initiatives.
