Promoting healthy eating habits:
Efforts to reduce childhood obesity are incomplete without healthy eating habits. Parents need to make available healthy alternatives for their children.
- Include fruits and vegetables in the daily diet
- High calorie and high fat foods should be removed from the food list
- Sodas and sugar sweetened drinks should not be used
- Reduce the number of times your order take aways or eat fast food.
- Control the quantity of food taken and limit the portion sizes.
- Encourage children to drink milk and water instead of aerated drinks.
