DOH-Volusia - Healthy Eating During National Nutrition Month
March 13, 2017
The Academy suggests these tips to put the best fork forward for you and your family.
Start the family's day with a nutritious breakfast.
During each meal, fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables.
Make at least half of the grains you eat whole grains.
Talk positively about eating healthy foods around your children and lead by example.
Improving overall well-being also requires a lifelong commitment to healthful lifestyle behaviors, including daily physical activity. Parents can provide opportunities and encourage their children to spend time each day playing fun, physical activities. Families can plan an activity hour twice a week where parents and their children can participate in a physically active game together.
