How to Influence your child to stay healthy

Parents have a huge influence over the weight of their children.It is parents responsiblity to look after what their child is eating and whether is taking care of himself.Most of the parents say no to junk food at early ages , which is absolutely right thing to do.

If your child is overwieght , do not put a restriction on food. Rather motivate him to do exercise and eat diet food.

Exercise is a lifetime requirement for optimum health and weight. Encouraging physical activity in childhood is a great way to engender good exercise habits that can endure into adulthood.

Take walks with your child after meals
Take up sports which the whole family can do
Teach kids how to swim and ride bikes at an early age
Don't encourage kids to watch TV and limit computer time

Here are some tips for parents whose child are overweight:-
1.Don't forbid any foods, simply limit them. If your kids want to go to
McDonalds occasionally, fine. Just don't make it a regular occurrence.
2.Don't force your child to eat if they are not hungry. Children's appetite
vary and often during a "growing spurt" they lose their appetite. Don't worry
when this happens, as soon as their growing spurt is over you will find they
eat extra to make up.
3.Encourage them to snack on healthy carbs like whole grain cereals with
low-fat milk, whole grain bread with a light spread of peanut butter and
jelly, or fruit spread or fruit breads.
4.Encourage them to eat fresh fruit regularly(keep it on our dining table or
on your fridge).
5. Make salads more interesting by adding fruits like grapes, sections of
mandarin orange, chunks of pineapple, sliced peaches.
