As a family, it should be your priority to make sure that you and everyone that lives in your house is eating healthy, are constantly doing the right things for a better tomorrow, and are keeping themselves active for better overall health.
We know it’s hard to stay in touch when you’re busy, however, as a parent it is your job to make sure that everyone in your family is doing well.
This is why in this blog, Super Active Kids is going to list down some tips and things that everyone in a family can do to stay active and healthy all the time.
Eating Healthy
One of the most important things that you want to do as a parent is to make sure that there is good food at the table or in the house all the time. We know this is hard, considering extremely healthy food is expensive, but if you have the budget, go healthy.
Here are some foods that you need to have in your house:
- Green vegetables
- Clean meat
- Lean meat
- Rice
- Bread
- Fruits
Also, you want to avoid junk foods and soft drinks. Not only that, energy drinks should not be consumed, particularly by the little ones that are roaming inside your house. These things are a must in such times.
Set Proper Time
The second thing that you want to do is make sure that everyone has a good schedule that they are following. This is an important thing because following a proper schedule will help them stay healthy and active.
How? Proper sleep timings, which are anywhere from 7 to 9 hours, are a must and with a proper schedule, they can get that too. Not only that, naps, exercise timings, and eating timings will help them stay focused.
Exercise
As a family, you should workout together. Here are some of the best exercises that you can do with your family. Remember, this is also a good thing to do because you will be spending time with everyone!
| Light | Moderate | Heavy |
| Walking | Jogging (5 to 10 kilometers) | Jogging (20 kilometers) |
| Treading water | Swimming | Swimming more laps |
| Cycling | Incline Cycling | Triathlon |
| Yoga | Advanced Yoga | Yoga with aerobics |
| Dancing | House gardening | Digging a ditch |
| Household chores | Sports such as basketball, tennis, badminton, and more | Boxing |
| Playing with your kids | Weight lifting | Playing professional level sports |
Health Check-ups
The last thing that you want to do is make sure that everyone is getting regular health checkups from the family doctor from time to time. This is an important thing to do because illnesses are serious and health is extremely important. Instead of just saying, ‘ll get it checked out when I have time, you need to get up and get yourself proper medical treatment before things get worse.
Make sure you ask your doctors about the precautions and the things that you can do. This is really important and it will help you out a lot in the entire process of staying active and healthy.
