Health Tip: Keep Your Child at a Healthy Weight
By LadyLively on May 25, 2015
Teaching your child about healthy eating and exercise can help reduce the youngster’s risk of obesity and associated health problems.
The Cleveland Clinic suggests:
- Promoting healthy eating at home by offering whole grains, fruit and vegetables, healthy proteins and low-fat dairy.
- Adjusting favorite recipes to make them healthier.
- Limiting snacks that are high in fat and salt. Instead, offer an apple or banana, a cup of blueberries, grapes, carrots or peppers.
- Teaching kids the benefits of exercise, from stronger bones to better self esteem.
- Encouraging kids to exercise by swimming, dancing, jumping rope or going for a walk. Limit screen time to no more than two hours per day.
