Health Tips & Info
It is important to create healthy habits early on. These will help you make smart choices for your family. Children imitate their parents, so it’s important to set a good example. The tips below can help your family be healthy and happy.
Eating better (for children and families)
- Start the day with a healthy breakfast. It refuels the body and provides energy for the day.
- Let kids help plan and prepare 1 meal each week.
- Eat together as a family as often as possible.
- Take time eating, and chew slowly. It takes 20 minutes for the brain to tell the body that you are full.
- Eat more vegetables and fresh fruits. Aim for a total of 2 cups of fruit and 2 1/2 cups of vegetables each day.
- Eat more whole grains. Examples include oats, brown rice, rye, and whole-wheat pasta. Try to eat at least 3 ounces of whole grains each day.
- Drink plenty of fluids. Choose water, low-fat or nonfat milk, and low-calorie beverages.
- Serve a variety of foods in small portions.
Being more active (for parents)
- Park the car farther away at work or stores.
- Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
- Get off the bus one stop earlier and walk the rest of the way.
- Exercise while watching television at home. Use a machine, lift weights, and stretch.
- Walk to do errands.
- Be a role model for your children. Do something active every day.
Things to consider
- Keep a food journal. Track what you eat, how much, when, and why.
- Keep an activity log. Track your exercise: type, time, and level.
- Eat at the kitchen table. Avoid eating in the car or while watching TV. This helps you focus on how much you eat and can help prevent overeating.
- Put workouts on your calendar so you keep them. Set exercise clothes out the night before.
- Set goals you can achieve. For example, aim to eat more vegetables and less high-calorie foods.
- Eat only when you’re hungry. Do not eat because you are bored, tired, or stressed. Instead, create other habits. For example, take a walk, play a game, read a book, or call a friend.
- Try not to overeat. Once you aren’t hungry anymore, push the plate away.
- Shop for groceries on a full stomach. This will help you make healthier food choices. It is harder to resist impulse or poor choices when your stomach is empty.
