Ensure that American children and healthy families is a priority of the Movement Let's - first lady Michelle Obama national initiative to promote healthy decision making, improve food quality in schools, increase access to healthy, affordable and increase physical activity. The website has lots of good information and we thought we would share some of their tips for developing healthy habits for a healthy home:

1. Healthy Snacks
   His family, like most, is probably always on the go. Be prepared with nutritious and easy to eat on the go food like fruits and vegetables. Think color - try to eat fruits and vegetables of different colors to give your family a wide range of nutrients like fiber, folate, potassium and vitamins.
2. Make physical activity fun
   Activities should be fun and something the whole family can do together. There is a push to ensure that children get 60 minutes of physical activity every day, but not all have to be both. Short walks active tasks, walking the dog - it all adds up!
3. Plan a healthy menu
   Preparing healthy meals does not have to be difficult or expensive, it just takes planning. Plan healthy meals for the week, then make a shopping list and stick to it! Reduce consumption sugar - especially soft drinks and juices with added sugar. See all sizes part - use smaller plates and bowls and buy smaller packages of snacks.
