Help your children develop healthy eating habits early in life that will bring lifelong benefits.

• When you cook at home you have more control over ingredients and portion sizes, so aim to cook at home more often than eating out.

• Make it fun for kids to try new fruits and vegetables. Let them pick out a new fruit or vegetable in the grocery store each week and figure out together how to cook or prepare it in a healthy way.
  
  
• For snack time, keep fresh fruit and pre-chopped or no-chop veggies on hand. Your family is more likely to grab fruits and vegetables over other items if they’re readily available.

• We can help. Get great recipes and tips at heart.org/recipes.
  

Tips for the whole family to promote healthy eating

Be a role model for an active lifestyle. Start moving more yourself and find ways to be active together as a family.

• Physical activity should be fun for children and adolescents. Encourage kids to keep trying activities to discover the ones they like and will stick with in the future.
  
  
• Reduce or limit sedentary screen time, including watching television, playing video games and using a digital device. Don’t use the TV or a device as a babysitter.
  
  
• Provide kids with opportunities to be active. Give them active toys and games, like bikes, skateboards, roller skates, scooters, jump ropes, balls and sports equipment.
  
  
• Get familiar with community facilities near you, like pools, recreation centers, bike paths and parks.
