Healthy Parents = Healthy Kidz = Healthy Family

I am a firm believer that the family is the foundation of a society. It is within this unit that habits and beliefs starts to grow. To a large extent, it starts with Mom and Dad and it continues with the kids and extended to the grand kids. As such, I would like to suggest that the implementation of good and healthy beliefs starts from home.

This might sound cliche but maintaining a healthy relationship within the family is something that easily forgotten. A healthy relationship would mean that the family is open, honest, loving, caring, responsible and authentic. When Dad opens his anxiety about the family, I am sure Mum will do the same and this will continue to the rest of the family. A dad who consistently gives encouragement and support to his family will lead to growth as well as togetherness.

The best nutritionist would be Mum. Breast feeding is highly recommended by doctors. If it is possible, do it for a year (if not more). Mum, it is suggested that nutritious food are consumed for this to happen. As the kids start to grow up, the choices of food becomes more vital. I remember my brother's wife who controlled the foods and drinks of their sons. Nowadays, they are strong and rarely fall ill.

For the children, it is advised that they stay active and participate in outdoor activities. In addition, join team sports. This will help to increase self-esteem and social exchanges with friends.

A healthy mind starts with a healthy body. The possibilities of having a healthy body does not come from exercises or weight lifting. It can come in the form of household chores. I am suggesting that the chores are done together as a family. This would lighten Mum's load but also builds togetherness as well as reduces chauvinism. Another suggestion would be having walks or exercise together. In the end, all will benefit.

I sincerely encourage you to be mindful to your family's health. This would include the physical and mental health. Please do not get me wrong. I am neither complaining nor dictating what parents should or should not do with their children. It is ultimately a matter of choice.
