How to involve your family in your new healthy lifestyle!
How to involve your family in your new healthy lifestyle!
Things to remember when considering lifestyle changes:
Involve the whole family when setting and working towards changes.
Focus on one or two realistic changes at a time.
Write down the changes you want to make and display them in a visible place – on the fridge or next to the calendar – this reminds everyone what they are working towards.
Ensure changes are clear and specific (put dates, times and amounts next to them. This will help you measure progress.
Set aside time as a family to check your progress.
Examples of family changes you could try:
We will drink water with our evening meal instead of cola every day.
We will go for a 20-minute walk after dinner, on 3 nights a week.
We will eat a piece of fruit as our morning snack 5 days a week.
We will eat together as a family four times a week.
We will go on a family cycle for at least one hour at the weekend.
