Health starts at home

It’s normal for parents to worry about food when it comes to their child. Making sure your child is properly nourished is incredibly important. The key to success in this case is to model healthy habits with empathy and creativity.

Feeding is not the same as nourishing

Nutrition goes far beyond weight. It’s closely linked to conditions like:

• Childhood and adult obesity
• Diabetes, high blood pressure
• Depression, anxiety
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

What can active parents do?

• Cook more at home and cut back on fast food
• Keep ultra-processed products out of the cart
• Plan weekly meals with natural, whole food
• Walk, move, and enjoy healthy activities together
• Lead by example — no pressure or criticism

Your gut has a voice too

The gut is closely connected to the brain. A healthy microbiome supports better mood, sleep, and even behavior. Did you know 95% of serotonin —the “feel good” hormone— is produced in your gut?

Include foods like bananas, avocados, eggs, nuts, and dark chocolate to nourish both body and mind.

Fewer pills, better habits

Many health issues today can be prevented —or even reversed— with small daily changes. The best part: you don’t need to spend more, just make better choices.
