Begin your path to healthy living with these steps:
Practice good nutrition.
Eating healthy requires developing new diet habits like limiting sugar, snacking on fruits and vegetables and choosing whole grains. Your local farmers market and military commissary are two great places to buy fresh produce for a reasonable price. Share your nutrition goals with your children through programs like the 5210 Healthy Military Children campaign. Turn to Military OneSource for other helpful strategies on eating right.

Give your child a happy, healthy start.
It’s important to teach children as early as possible actions and choices that promote health and happiness. Start by encouraging good nutrition and feeding them a hearty breakfast every morning. Promote good sleep habits and teach them how to communicate and express their feelings. Encourage physical activity as much as possible to lessen their screen time.
