Show your children that you are confident in yourself and your body. Make exercise a family affair. There are plenty of activities that parents and children can enjoy together, no matter what the athletic abilities are. Plan family outings that include physical activities, such as walking, biking or swimming. Families are busier than ever, but that doesn't mean you have to give up nutrition.
Many cookbooks feature fast, healthy recipes.
Don't restrict certain foods or kids will just want them more. Provide nutritious snacks and teach your children about making healthy food choices on their own. Just a few habit changes in your family can make a big difference. Discourage kids from eating while watching TV or on the computer. Eat as a family as much as possible and encourage kids to eat slowly and learn to enjoy good food.
