statistics on obesity and the out of shape American are bombarding us.
Your life is high in stress and calories and low in free time and physical
activity. Experts are now saying that the cause is the result of a
frenetic lifestyle and we need to begin changing behavior. Change on this
scale takes decades. It has been recognized that initiatives designed to
help children have the best likelihood of gaining public support.
Although, there is no quick fix to this rising epidemic small changes at
home that include the entire family can make a big difference. </font></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 1 5"><font face="Verdana" size="2">
Parents play the lead role in orchestrating how mealtime is executed and
what foods are brought into the home. Processed foods and fast food
gained popularity as families found less time to sit down and eat and
together and to prepare meals. How can we make small changes in our
lifestyle to begin promoting a healthier United States? Will children
welcome brown rice and fresh vegetables over processed chicken tenders and
instant potatoes? There is a groundswell movement on the way to
dramatically revise what we eat and to bring back fresh food and backyard
baseball. </font></p>

Children develop habits and routines from the adults in their lives.
Teach your children the importance of planning ahead by creating the
�family menu.� Educate children early on the value of proper nutrition
and engage them in the meal planning process, children are more likely to
eat foods they choose and help prepare. Introduce your children to new
vegetables and whole grain foods. For older children talk about how whole
grains are fundamental to feeling satisfied and maintaining lasting
energy. Talk to your children about the history of the fast food industry
and how it has helped lead to the national obesity crisis. Brainstorm as
a family about what you can do to eat healthier, be sure to include
selections for those nights when you are over scheduled. </font></p>

Making lifestyle changes for your family may seem overwhelming. The
hectic schedule is already in place, and survival depends on your already
established routine and frequent fast food meals. Start slowly, your
effort and commitment will provide your children with a gift that can last
a lifetime. </font></p>
