15th May is World Family day. A healthy family is one step closer to a happy family. Here are 5 simple steps for families to take together towards better health:
1. The entire family eats the same healthy meals together. If one family member has health related dietary restrictions, they are more likely to comply if the whole family follows them so they don't feel deprived
2. Do not store junk or sugary treats at home. No temptation,no loss
3. Begin the kids young towards healthier eating habits and physical activity
4. One meal of the day has to be together for a family, away from screens. Talk your hearts out, crack jokes, make decisions together
5. Fun fitness challenges. Positive reinforcement always works better
Here's to happier and healthier families. Happy World Family Day!
