Create a Healthy Environment

Have healthy snacks avaliable rather than chocolate bars and other high calorie foods. You also need to build physical activity into your lifestyle. Whether this is family exercise or just your child playing outside it needs to be done. One of the most successful forms of physical activity is at clubs. For example swimming and karate are very good sports as they are individual and you can go at your own pace. Also your whole family could and should participate. Taking any TV’s and computers out of your childs bedroom will also help to create a healthy environment and combat childhood obesity, although if you take the TV out of your childs bedroom ensure that you also take it out of your bedroom to.

You’ve all got to follow the rules.
