By teaching your children healthy eating habits, you can keep them at a healthy weight. Also, the eating habits your children pick up when they are young will help them maintain a healthy lifestyle when they are adults.

One of the most important approaches to eating is cutting down on fat intake. Simple ways to accomplish this include eating low-fat or nonfat dairy products, poultry without skin, lean meats, and low-fat or fat-free breads and cereals.

1. Make sure your child drinks enough fluids

  • Children have special fluid needs. Compared to adults, kids are more likely to suffer a heat illness when exercising in the heat.
  • Give your kids a sports drink to prevent fatigue and dehydration.
  • Studies show that lightly sweetened, flavored, non-carbonated beverages such as sports drinks do a better job than water of preventing dehydration.
  • Have your kids drink according to a schedule. Give kids a squeeze bottle and have them drink 5 to 9 ounces ever 20 minutes to keep hydrated.
