Health Tip: Create Good Eating Habits

Fostering healthy habits when your children are young is a great way to help ensure that they'll eat healthier for the rest of their lives.

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics suggests:

• Preparing a balanced, healthy breakfast each morning.
• Limiting caffeine, and not adding cream or sugar to coffee or tea.
• Packing a healthy lunch.
• Eating more fruits and vegetables.
• Cooking dinner at home most nights of the week. If necessary, cook some meals during weekends.
