Who has the biggest influence on our Children’s Eating Habits?

If you answered “I am” or “Parents are” you are absolutely correct!

One of the leading causes of Childhood Obesity is a child’s eating habits. Now, this is nothing to be ashamed of. I am here to help build awareness and knowledge that will allow us to give the youth of this world the best possible chance to live a happy, healthy, and successful life.

What are some things in your household, right now, that you see your kids munching on that you know they can do without? What are some food choices that can also be replaced with healthier options? What drinks might your children be consuming too much of?

As a parent, you are responsible for the overconsumption and proper consumption of foods. The choice to eat a snickers bar over an apple is only an option if the snickers bar is available to them.

Did you know that there are Neurons in our brains that are called Mirror Neurons? A mirror Neuron is a trigger in our brains that causes us to do a simultaneous imitation of someone's actions. For example, A lot of people's learning style is being shown how to do something and doing it alongside the instructor.

Our brains adapt and are natural followers so here is how we start to get our children making the right decisions Nutritionally. 

• Make a personal commitment, as a role model, to work on your nutritional habits
• Slowly eliminate the accessibility of “Junk Food”, Candy, Soda’s, and extra sugary snacks
• Become more aware of the nutritional information of the things that your child cannot keep their hands off of

Do not be afraid to ask questions. The whole PFP team has your back. Please answer those questions (above) honestly and please let us know if there are any questions about nutrition or if you need further guidance in the nutrition world.

Dedicated to your Success,
