Healthy Eating Habits - Make it a Family Affair

                                           by Mrs. Dorothy Barron

Healthy eating habits are good not only for kids, but all family members. 6 tips for eating healthier and getting in shape:

·        Many healthy foods can be cooked in a variety of ways – baked, broiled, grilled, steamed or simply eaten raw

·        Experiment with herbs and spices – the key is to allow all the wonderful flavors to mix and blend

·        Try different foods prepared in different forms or dishes

·        If Desserts are part of the meal - do not forgo them; moderation in both preparation and serving sizes is the key. Besides, there are many low-calorie, great tasting desserts to choose from.

·        At the end of the meal, quickly put away left-overs; do not head for your favorite chair - keep moving.

·        Take a stroll around the block or down the street. Eventually, the kids will want to traipse along and you can make it a family affair. Besides, walking is not only good for the physical, but mental being as well.

                        Little changes can make a difference
