Healthy eating and exercise habits are not only necessary to reverse childhood obesity, but to prevent it. Parents may be tempted to worry less about kids' diets if their weight is within a healthy range.
Reversing bad habits is always much more difficult than avoiding them in the first place... The best approach is to tackle the issue as a family, not just as something to be forced on the kids. Working to improve the entire family's diet and exercise habits can lay the foundation for lifelong health for your kids.
If your children are healthy and active, take steps now to ensure that they continue these healthy habits for the rest of their lives. Source: McClatchy-Tribune News Service
