Summer Slimming

Aloha ‘Ohana!

Now that we’re half way through the summer we thought it was a good time to highlight a few thoughts on staying health this summer.

All of us at KHC believe that summer is a great time to start new healthy habits. Especially for the over 40% of our keiki who struggle with weight and nutrition.

Here are 5 simple habits to try:

Fill 50% of you plate with fruits and veggies.

Eat at least one meal a day with your family

Set limits screen time for the whole family and no TV while eating!

One hour of FUN exercise a day

• Encourage kids to do activities they love most.

• Family fitness works! Be a role model and get moving with your keiki.

• Go swimming, surfing or just walk on the beach.
  Ditch sugary drinks

• Serve water or low fat milk at meals.

• Don't keep sweetened drinks around the house.

• Water is best during and after exercise.

• Avoid sports drinks except for high intensity endurance sports.

Have fun out there an #staywell #bewell

Mahalo!
