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 and #staywell #bewell

Mahalo!
