National Parents Day is Sunday, July 25, and every parent wants what’s best for their children including healthy eating habits and adequate physical activity. But, like many parents, you might have some concerns since it can be hard to get your kids to eat right and be physically active. You ‘re right to be concerned as many children with poor eating and physical activity habits are at an increased risk for becoming overweight and developing future health problems such as high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, and many others. The good news is that YOU can start them off right and plant the seed for good nutrition and physical activity. When it comes to eating right, kids take the lead from their parents. For this reason you must become their number one role model!

Wellness, fitness, health, – no matter what the word is to describe ‘keeping your family healthy’, it is the one topic that is in the front of people’s mind. There is discussion these days about children’s health and the public is starting to become more involved including parents, doctors and teachers. So how can you become fit? Being fit is a way of saying a person eats well, gets a lot of physical activity and has a healthy weight.

In case you weren’t aware, July is National Grilling Month… Mmmm! Grilling is a sport of passion, and whether a novice or professional, weekender or life’s calling, grilling has some basic rules for a perfect return on time. Don’t fret; cooking on the grill is really as simple as baking in the oven if you have a gas grill. Getting back to the table is so much easier when the smells lure them home!
