Childhood obesity affects one in every three
children in the United States (CDC, 2012). This has become an epidemic
that is negatively affecting so many children, and we need to take
action to teach children about nutrition and staying active.
That
is why September is National Childhood Obesity Awareness Month. Here
are a few things you can do with your children right now to educate them
about obesity and a healthy lifestyle:
- Play! - LetsMove.gov/Get-Active is a great resource to learn about how much physical activity your child should be doing per day. Playing actively with your child is also a great bonding opportunity that both of you will remember for life!
- Teach Nutrition – ChooseMyPlate.gov has great resources for teaching your children about nutrition.
- Eating Healthy – After you learn about nutrition, follow through! Mom Made Foods is a great resource of quick, healthy frozen foods for your children. You can also have a salad-making night where the family puts their favorite ingredients together! The options are endless.
You can find Mom Made Foods at a Kroger near you!
