The family environment you set for your kids is associated with their risk of developing obesity. A survey of 8,000 children found that those who didn't eat many meals with their families but watched a lot of TV were more likely to become overweight by the third grade. Also, boys and girls who are encouraged to diet are three times more likely to be overweight five years later, because of increased binge eating, skipped breakfasts, and other unhealthy attempts to lose weight. Don't let this happen to your kids. Spend time playing outside with your kids, eat dinner and breakfast with them, and show them how much you care about their total health.
