Mothers play an important role in the health and wellbeing of their families. When moms take care of themselves, by eating healthy and staying active they are setting a great example for their children to follow. This helps set their children up for a lifetime of health and wellness. 

Healthy eating not only benefits mom, but can help her family as well. Eating a balanced diet that includes plenty of fruits and vegetables can help everyone in the family stay healthy and full of energy. It also helps create strong bones and teeth and can even reduce the risk of developing certain illnesses. A great way to up your family's veggie in take is by adding extra veggies to your tomato sauce for spaghetti night. Simply put your sauce of choice in a blender and add spinach, bell pepper and carrots then blend until it's the consistency you like. You get twice the amount of veggies per sergive and no one will be the wiser.

Exercising regularly is also important for everyone in the family. Not only can it help everyone stay physically healthy, but it also helps improve mental health and emotional wellbeing. Exercise can help reduce stress and anxiety, while also improving mood and sleep. Plus exercise can be a ton of fun to do as a family! Try having a dance party in your living room, just put on your favorite playlist and in 5 minutes, not only will you be laughing but you will be burning calories as well.

It's important to remember that it's never too late to start eating healthier and exercising more. Even small changes can make a big difference. Being more active and eating more nutritiously can help moms and their families lead healthier and happier lives.
