August is All About Kids

August is entitled “Kids Eat Right Month” because a child’s diet has proven to be of the utmost importance when paving the way to a long life of good health.  Below are some tips to keep your kids and the rest of the family healthy.

·      Be active!  It is recommended that kids get 60 minutes of vigorous play each day.  This could be as simple as a few games of tag, or something more involved, such as team sports.
·      Eat together.  Studies have shown that family bonding and health increase when that family enjoys meals together.
·      Plan family activities.  Make physical activity a family tradition by frequently planning dance parties, walks, hikes, or any other sort of active excursion!
·      Get the kids involved. Let your kids into the kitchen once in a while to help out with meal planning and prep.  This will allow them to understand nutritious, healthy foods and their preparation.
