Kids Are Getting Fatter Nowadays
I was reading today in our local Sunday paper (the Sunday Times) that kids are getting bigger nowadays.
Why is this a problem?
Well, from a health point of view, it has been estimated that our children's generation will have a shorter life span than ourselves, due to possible heart and other weight-related ailments.
I think I have seen and read news along the same lines almost every week for the last 10 years. But, what are we doing about it? Or, more importantly, what can we do about this endemic problem?
Education is of course one of the first steps to take to tackle this serious problem. But I do not mean "leave it to the schools". I rather mean, let's educate ourselves as parents, and our kids as consumers in the art of healthy (and tasty eating).
By "education" I mean that we have to learn what foods are better for ourselves and our kids, and how to teach them to appreciate non-saturated fat based meals.
The transition to healthy eating can only be difficult because of the strong habits and conditioning our children and ourselves have experienced for a long time. But once one discovers how easy it is to cook delicious low fat recipes, the transition becomes easier to make.
I'll be adding, in the near future, a list of delicious low fat recipes you can prepare for your kids. Keep an eye on this blog, or visit my site every now and then to see what's up.
Have a great day!
