I need help with improving the health of my family?????!
Question:
I need help with improving the health of my family?????
My son is three and half years old and like my husband is a good eater. He is also tall for his age. My concern is that although he is chubby now, I do not want him to have weight issues later in his life. So please suggest sites where I can get recipes of everyday food that is delicious but healthy at the same time. Thanks.
Answers:
Kraftfoods dot com has some great recipes for families. They are family favorites and give you nutrition info as well. There is also a section called Healthy Living with low cal low fat recipes.
Make sure you are teaching your son to eat healthy snacks - frozen grapes are fun for kids, string cheese, ants on a log (PB with raisins on celery), etc.
And get him moving - go outside and play ball as a family, teach him to swim, play tag in your front yard. There are a lot of things that get kids moving and help some of that chubby fall away.
Dont stress too much! My kids are great eaters - healthy eaters but great. They were chubbier at 3 too but by the time they each started kindergarten and did tball and ballet, etc they were super thin!
