The food and physical activity behaviors of children lay down the foundation for their health in the future. Children don't have the ability to imagine that what they do now will affect them in the future. They really only live in the now, so as parents and role models it is our responsibility to steer them in the right direction. It'd no longer acceptable to wait until the comorbidities of obesity start to impact health to take action...PREVENTION is the best medicine. It takes a village to raise a child...let's all try to be part of the solution. I hope you can give the children in your life one of the most important gifts - the gift of health.
