If you're preparing to ring in the new year with a New Year's resolution, here's a pledge that will help your entire family live a healthier lifestyle.
Be a Good Role Model, Eat Right and Get Active. Parents have more potential to influence their children's behaviour than anyone else!
Here are 5 tips to jump start 2014 in a nutritious, delicious and active way.
- Focus on overall health, not weight alone. Plan meals with your children, from choosing menus and grocery shopping to preparing ingredients, cooking and serving.
- Eat breakfast every day and enjoy family dinners together as often as possible.
- Serve balanced meals. Fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables, focus on lean proteins and choose whole grains.
- And finally, get physical. Take a family walk, go on a cycle ride, or hit the gym. Parents should get at least two and a half hours of exercise a week and children about 60 minutes a day.
Happy New Year!
