Tips For Keeping Kids Fit small medium large **Reprinted from Kaiser Permanente's "Partners in Health" quarterly news to help you thrive. TIPS FOR KEEPING YOUR KIDS FIT Kids need to play hard for 60 minutes a day. They can break up the time into two or three periods, before and after school. * Remove the TV from your child's bedroom. * Help your child eat five servings of fruits and vegetables a day. Have cut-up fruits and veggies ready for an instant snack. * Eliminate sodas which contain up to 18 teaspoons of sugar per serving. Limit juice drinks to no more than one small cup a day. Encourage water to quench thirst. * Switch to low-fat (1 percent) or nonfat milk starting at age 2. * Be a good role model: Let your child see you eating your fruits and vegetables and being active. * Make meals a family time. Have conversations, not TV time. HELP YOUR KIDS HELP THEMSELVES > Kids who eat breakfast every day do better in school and weigh less. > Whole grains, fruit, and low-fat dairy products are great breakfast options. Try low-fat mild and whole-grain cereal, whole-grain toast with peanut butter, or low-fat yogurt and a piece of fruit. > Limit soda and juice drinks to no more than one can or cup per day. Read the label to make sure you're serving 100% whole juice. > If your children eat lunch at a school cafeteria, guide them in making good choices. Brainstorm ways to include some healthier foods in their meals, like packing fruit and veggies to go with the cafeteria pizza. > Keep a bowl of washed fruit and veggies front and center in the fridge. > Serve smaller portions in smaller dishes to avoid overeating.
