Parents should set an example to their children by living and promoting a healthy lifestyle.
Eat plenty of whole-grains, fruits and vegetables. Cut down on foods high in fat and sugar like chips and
candy. Drink water instead of sugar drinks like soda and pop. Do not force feed the children. Get at least 60 minutes of exercise/activity each day. Walking is one of the easiest exercises to do. Play active games with your children and have fun. Limit recreational screen time for kids to no more than 1-2
hours of quality programs per day.
