Childhood obesity is a huge problem, and it is sad because kids do not get their own food. Parents are 100% in charge from day one of providing meals, so basically, parents are poisoning their children and making them heavy and causing lifelong health issues. THIS DOES NOT HAVE TO HAPPEN!
Now, no one is perfect and we all get busy, so finding websites with helpful information and SHARING that information with our families and friends is paramount in combating this problem.
From the Let's Move website:
"Parents play a key role in making healthy choices for their children because the earliest decisions regarding food and physical activity occur in the home. But in today’s busy world, it isn’t always easy. Parents and other caregivers need a community of support. So Let’s Move to offer parents the simple tools, support and information they need to make healthier choices for their family. Children learn from the choices they see adults make. If children see parents enjoying nutritious foods and physical activity, they’re more likely to do the same.
Let’s Move is building communities by bringing together families, schools, private industry and government to make healthy living easier. With greater understanding and opportunities for good nutrition and physical activity, parents can take simple steps so busy families can live healthier lives."
This website has different pages about health and nutrition along with MANY links for every topic on how to help you feed your kids the best foods. They have information on breastfeeding, pre-schoolers, different calorie requirements by age, recipes, where to find healthy and cheaper food, grocery lists, and SO much more!
Spend some time on Let's Move and help your entire family become healthier and set up your kids for a lifetime of health and happiness.
