Instill Healthy Eating Habits in Children

Toddlers are inhaling French fries, pizza, candy, and soda in record numbers because they are mimicking adults eating habits. This is counterproductive because the best time to teach dietary habits is during those early, most impressionable years. Poor diets in adults are linked to chronic conditions such as heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes. We all know what a healthy diet consists of - lots of whole grains, fruits and vegetables. Of course, the best way to show your children what a healthy diet entails is by adhering to one yourself.
