4 ways to protect your kid's health
Categories: Diet & Weight Loss, Nutrition & Supplements
I've got four ways for you to protect your kids' health by protecting your own health. Interested? Here they are.
- Eat right. If you eat right, your kids are likely to follow suit. That means five servings of fruits and veggies each day, whole grains instead of refined products, and a limited number of red meats and processed foods.
- Move. Inspire your kids to get 60 minutes of vigorous exercise most days of the week by engaging in your own fitness pursuits. Discuss the value of being active with your kids too.
- Avoid smoking. Don't smoke, don't hang out around smoke, and chat with your youngsters about the dangers of smoking.
- Practice skin smarts. Protect your own skin from the sun, and slather your kids too. And teach them this American Cancer Society jingle: Slip! Slop! Slap! Wrap! Slip on a shirt, slop on sunscreen, slap on a hat, and wrap sunglasses around your eyes.

The most recent scientific report about kids and their fast food meals has shown that actually taking your kids at a fast food restaurant implies risking their health. I read about this at http://www.projectweightloss.com.
