Boost Your Health: Wonderful Winter Nutrition Tips

According to Scholastic (2020), follow the tips below to boost your family’s health.

1. Teach your kids to "Eat the Rainbow" every day. This is a fun way for kids to get the nutrition they need. Kids love to keep track of all the colors they eat during the day — even green!
2. Take the Just One More for Healthy Living pledge as a family. Studies indicate families have higher success rates achieving healthier lifestyles when they work together.
3. Get the kids involved. When children have a role in meal planning, they are more inclined to eat it. Get them excited about the process!
4. Incorporate 30 extra minutes of activity into each day. This doesn't have to be 30 consecutive minutes. Try parking in the farthest parking spot at the mall parking lot, taking the stairs, or walking the dog an extra block.
