Health tips for youngsters to stay fit during Corona

                                             


You can either practice some Natural Health Tips or workout at home using some basic equipment like skipping ropes, dumbbells, etc. 

We're spending more time at home to help prevent the spread of the corona virus that causes COVID-19. But that's made it easy for families to fall out of normal routines. Relaxed schedules, more screen time,
changes in access to food, and no regular recess or gym class can add up to unhealthy weight gain and reduced fitness.

So, what can you do to help your family stay healthy?

What Kinds of Food Should We Avoid?


                    
Chips, cookies, and ice cream are OK once in a while, but not every day. Keep junk food and treats out of the house so your kids are not tempted. Save sugar  drinks, like soda, juice, sports drinks, and sweet teas for special times. Offer water and milk instead. Packaged foods and prepared meals are convenient, but can be high in fat, sugar, and calories. Check food labels and choose the healthier options.

What Else Should I Know?

                                                 

The corona virus pandemic has changed the world in many ways. A focus on healthy habits, like eating well and staying active, can help kids and parents keep a sense of control during an uncertain time.

Be a good role model for your kids by:

·  enjoying healthy foods and not
overeating

·   being active every day

·    limiting your own screen time

·    finding ways to manage stress

·     getting plenty of sleep

 What Should I Serve?


Make your home a healthy food zone . Put the focus on:

·     fruits and vegetables. Fresh is great, but frozen or canned fruit and veggies
are good options, especially when you want to limit trips to the grocery store.
Just choose ones with no added salt, sugar, syrups, or sauces.

·   whole grains, such as whole-grain bread, brown rice, quinoa, and
whole-wheat pasta

·   foods high in protein, such as lean meats, dried or canned beans, eggs, and
peanut butter
