Check out the weight loss article. pI remember a while back when
Shaquille ONeal had a television show where he and some fitness
trainers helped a group of overweight students. These minors were
all overweight and unhealthy, and with Shaqs and the others help,
they started down a path toward health and fitness. I sure hope
they stayed on the path after the show, and I also hoped the show
motivated other youth to start exercising and eating healthy,
because it really is needed. Too many children today are
overweight, dont get enough physical exercise, and dont eat well.
As a parent, I know getting kids to eat can be difficult at times,
and I also know there are so many unhealthy foods aimed at our
youngsters. Eat This Not That For Kids by David Zinczenko with Matt
Goulding is one of the Eat This Not That books in the popular
series by the editorinchief of Mens Health. This book, like the
others in the series, helps make the better choices when selecting
which foods to purchase and consume. So, if you want to make
healthier selections for the foods your kids eat, this book will
guide your way.ppI like the dedication, To all parents trying their
best to make smart choices for their children. Thats what we are
all trying to do, and sometimes books like this can provide
assistance we need. The book starts out letting the reader know the
choice is theirs, and challenges parents to make the healthy
choices. There are brief descriptions of some of the hidden health
dangers caused by the wrong food choices, and how portion sizes
have grown, along with the calories they contain. It includes a
positive note that we can make our childrens future better.ppThe
next chapter contains some general guidelines for eating aimed at
kids. Following these simple rules will have a huge impact on ones
health. Next comes some guidelines for eating out. The authors dont
insist you dont eat at restaurants, but do encourage you to stay
vigilant, savvy, and smart.ppNext comes the 20 worst kids foods in
America. If you are like me, you have probably fed your kids things
from this list. I sort of cringed reading about some of them. It is
definitely an eye opener.ppAfter those, comes the listings of foods
showing what not to eat and what to eat in various categories. The
pages tell why you should or shouldnt chose items and provide
calories, fat, and sodium amounts for those listed, as well as
other little facts and tidbits to help you with your dining
choices.ppThe categories are specific restaurants, menu decoder to
help with various places, supermarket choices, at school, at home,
and concluding with a short motivational chapter on a fitness
legacy.ppI really like this series of books. They provide some very
good advice, and help make choices to lead healthy lifestyle. This
book, For Kids, will help parents make better choices for their
children and help our youngsters grow to be fit and healthy
adults.p What do you think about this info tell us your thoughts.
