"University of Minnesota researchers who study adolescent health found that parents who correctly perceived their kids as overweight tended to use only one strategy - advising them to diet. But five years later, those kids were far more likely to still be too heavy than were overweight kids whose parents had no idea they were fat and did nothing."The findings have prompted researchers to suggest that parents encourage their children by modeling a healthy lifestyle. As a family, go for walks, take bike rides, or even work out together. And try to cook healthy, nutritious meals at home together, too. Source: The Truth Newspaper - Elkhart, Colorado.
