According to a government foresight report, one in ten parents recognise that their children are overweight or obese.  This has been described as a ‘time-bomb’.  Obesity is not always seen as a medical term and many parents do not associate overweight to health related risks.

If this continues 9 out of 10 kids will grow up with dangerous amounts of fat in their body.

Setting an Example

By far the best way to keep your children healthy and active is to set an example by eating healthy and taking exercise.  It is amazing to see how children copy their parent’s activities and if you are involved in regular activity your children will become active too.

As a parent you hold the key to the food you feed your family. By preparing fresh nutritious balanced diet your children will eat healthy too. It’s easy to see how overweight parents often have overweight children.

To reverse these staggering trends families need to start eating a better diet at home. Studies show that greater success is achieved if the whole family is involved in the process of better exercise and better eating which in turn will lead to weight loss and a healthy happier lifestyle.  Take action today to sustain your family for generations to come.
