Parent-Child Health Precation + Cold Watermelon Soup Recipe

July 14, 2016Leave a Comment

Passing Down Obesity 

Parents with poor diets and health issues tend to habits with their children. Obesity and heart disease is a growing concern in the U.S., and we need to understand all the risk factors.

Researchers saw that parents were eating too few vegetables and consuming too many empty calories, and their children took on the same behaviors. To complicate matters, kids tend to exhibit poorer nutrition habits than parents, which magnifies health effects.


The important takeaway is to educate not only kids, but parents on proper nutrition and the impacts of dietary habits on a healthy lifestyle.

SEASONAL EATING

Fruits and vegetables are always healthy choices, but consuming seasonal produce is best, both in taste and nutrition. Hot summer days call for a cool, refreshing bowl of seasonal soup.
