Good health and weight loss for the whole family

Everyone wants their family to be in good health. Making healthy changes at home may help prevent unnecessary weight gain too.Registered dietitians Dawn Jackson Blatner, Elizabeth Ward, Bonnie Taub-Dix and Keith Ayoob suggest you make some stealthy changes as this will definitely get everyone in the family eating more healthily!Dairy and recipe ingredientsFor example you could buy low-fat or skim milk, low-fat cream cheese or reduced-fat cheese rather than the full fat versions. Don’t forget to use them in recipes as well, as this will help to cut the fat and calories.Stock up on fruits and vegetablesAlways having a visible supply of fresh fruits and vegetables gives a constant reminder to snack on it. You could even use the vegetables in a healthy salad... but watch the salad dressing!Get a water coolerA water cooler is a great way to remind us to drink more water daily. Not only is this good for your body, but it’s great for weight loss too!So set an example, make changes around the house and your family will follow suit.
