Your Children are at Risk

“Children are more harmed by poor diet than by exposure to alcohol, drugs and tobacco combined. This  is the first generation of children expected to have a shorter lifespan than their parents.”
-Dr. David Katz, head of preventative medicine at Yale University

If you skimmed over that second line, I would recommend rereading it again. How can something as simple in nature as eating healthy and being active be so hard for us to adopt? It has come to the point that our bad habits are rubbing off on the next generation.

This is especially disturbing since we are their role models and the people they look to as examples of how they should live their lives. If we don't set the right example now then every future generation to come will be destined to repeat this cycle of leading a less active, higher stress, and nutritionally depleted lifestyle.

Make sure to take time to educate yourself on healthy living and then encourage your whole family to participate in exercising and eating well-balanced meals.
