As I help more and more people throughout the years I’ve noticed a big problem and disconnect in the process of passing on knowledge and health to our youth.  Healthy children come from healthy parents, or do they? About 85 % of the parents I’ve trained and taught how to live a better and healthier lifestyle do not try and make it the only option to live in their own homes for their children and family.

With childhood obesity and Type 2 diabetes becoming more common you can say we aren’t off to a great start in fostering healthy children.  So ….. Houston we definitely have a problem!

I know you’re busy, but this is my call to action to parents. You may pop over to these guys to mold your children’s personalities, but their health is still your responsibility.  You must take on another responsibility most let fall by the wayside. That is the responsibility of helping and healing our youth right from your own kitchen.  As it’s often said education doesn’t stop after school.   Educate your children about nutritious choices, exercise, why to stay away from processed foods, etc.  Parents who are actively involved in their child’s nutrition can grow an overall greater relationship with their children.
