Kids usually follow elders. They are very good observers and can remember things you are doing. They tend to do things that we all re doing in our day to day life. So, if you want your kids to have healthy habits then you have to do it yourself first.

A healthy lifestyle for parents is very important to grow healthy kids. A healthy lifestyle includes a healthy diet and good regular exercise. Kids will see this in your lifestyle and they will follow you. It is important that your kids start living a healthy lifestyle from the very early stage of their life.

A healthy lifestyle also includes good discipline and good time management. If you can teach your kids to be in a disciplined routine so they can have their meals and food on time it will greatly help them improve their metabolism. This will help them both physically as well as mentally.

Healthy food is a very important step in having healthy kids and giving them a healthy lifestyle. Healthy food is the first necessity for kids to have good growth, height, eyesight, and immune power. Healthy food improves overall body structure, strengthens bones and teeth, improves natural immune power to protect the body against deceases. Kids should have a healthy diet with a good balance of protein, carbohydrates, vitamins, and fibers. It will provide energy for outdoor activities.

Make sure your kids have lots of fruits. Many fruits contain antioxidants which are important for the body. Fruits are light food and full of energy and other nutrients. Foods are something, kids do not mind eating while they are playing.

If your kids need some quick snacks, make sure it is not some unhealthy food. Kids love unhealthy food, mostly because of its taste. You can always make some homemade snacks available to give your kids when they want something quick and tasty.

Sports and outdoor activities should be an important part of growing kids. Parents need to initiate these kids. Many times, kids like some sports but they may not have the right skill or equipment or simply correct environment. So it is good to explore various different kinds of sports for kids. Sports will increase overall body strength, improve height, body mass, and will improve bone strength. Sports activity is a good cardio exercise as well. Sports will also teach your kids sportsmanship and how to work in a team. Sports will teach kids to focus, concentration, and team spirit.

If your kids are not more enthusiastic about sports then try to involve them with some fun sports activities. For example, you can use a field trip or trip for water sports to get your kids to interest in outdoor activities. Try involving your kids in some family-oriented sports first such as softball, trekking, picnic games, animal walking, etc. Theses are some nice games to introduce your kids to sports.

As I mentioned earlier, kids do follow elders. Good healthy habits are for the entire family. If you have an unhealthy lifestyle or not have a specific time for having food or doing exercise then it is the time to fix it. Have a specific time for food and exercise in your daily activities.

You and your kids should have full of nutritious meals as well as some healthy snacks. Healthy snacks involve yogurt, fruits, Smoothies, and whole-grain bread. This will keep your kids active as these foods are not too heavy. You can also teach your kids about different nutrients and which food is good for them.

Try to have at least one meal as a family together. Your kids will learn family values and you will have some time with your kids too. You can explain to them about different healthy foods and why it is important for our body to have all those full healthy food.

Never ever ever use food as a reward for your kids. Kids are smart. They notice every single thing and tend to apply them in their own way. If you ever use food as a reward, your kids will get is and then will use it as a tool for their sacks. For example, they can use it just to do their homework and will tell you "Mom, can you get me the ice cream if I finish my homework?" This sounds working at first but believes me it is not a good practice.

Rewards for kids should be something like a field trip or getting them some sports equipment they demanding for. It will encourage them and they can use the reward in a positive way.

I hope all these things I point out will help increasing health consciousness in your kids and help you raise healthy kids. Let us know if you guys have any other ideas or suggestions to keep kids healthy.
