Be heart-smart to stay safe and healthy during and after natural disasters
The Atlantic hurricane season begins June 1 and runs through November 30th.
The American Heart Association has important tips to prepare for hurricanes and other natural disasters that can negatively impact physical and mental health.
Help your children develop healthy eating habits early in life that will bring lifelong benefits.
- When you cook at home you have more control over ingredients and portion sizes, so aim to cook at home more often than eating out.
- Make it fun for kids to try new fruits and vegetables. Let them pick out a new fruit or vegetable in the grocery store each week and figure out together how to cook or prepare it in a healthy way.
- For snack time, keep fresh fruit and pre-chopped or no-chop veggies on hand. Your family is more likely to grab fruits and vegetables over other items if they’re readily available.
Tips for the whole family to promote healthy eating
Be a role model for an active lifestyle. Start moving more yourself and find ways to be active together as a family.
-
Physical activity should be fun for children and adolescents. Encourage kids to keep trying activities to discover the ones they like and will stick with in the future. -
Reduce or limit sedentary screen time, including watching television, playing video games and using a digital device. Don’t use the TV or a device as a babysitter. -
Provide kids with opportunities to be active. Give them active toys and games, like bikes, skateboards, roller skates, scooters, jump ropes, balls and sports equipment. - Get familiar with community facilities near you, like pools, recreation centers, bike paths and parks.
