Happy Healthy New Year 2014!

​

If you're preparing to ring in the new year with a New Year's resolution, here's a pledge that will help your entire family live a healthier lifestyle.

Be a Good Role Model, Eat Right and Get Active. Parents have more potential to influence their children's behaviour than anyone else!

Here are 5 tips to jump start 2014 in a nutritious, delicious and active way.

1. Focus on overall health, not weight alone. Plan meals with your children, from choosing menus and grocery shopping to preparing ingredients, cooking and serving.
2. Eat breakfast every day and enjoy family dinners together as often as possible.
3. Serve balanced meals. Fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables, focus on lean proteins and choose whole grains.
4. And finally, get physical. Take a family walk, go on a cycle ride, or hit the gym. Parents should get at least two and a half hours of exercise a week and children about 60 minutes a day.

Bottom line, according to the experts, take small steps when changing your lifestyle. They're much easier to stick with over time
