Health Tip #3 Do not eat snacks after dinner time. If your child is feeling hungry, give him/her a glass of plain water or a serving of fruit.
Big Misconception My kid is growing, so they need more carbohydrates in their diet to ensure that they will grow tall and strong. Excess carbohydrates become fats in the body. If it is not burn through exercising. This will lead to weight increase and obesity.
EXERCISE REGULARLY Do outdoor exercises, play sports with your kids. Do indoor exercises (skipping, stairs climbing, sit-ups, side-steps) Recommended Daily Routine WATCH WHAT YOU EAT Eat more vegetables and fruits Maintain a healthy diet Avoid oily and junk food Eat what is required and not what your child desires
Healthy Kids BETTER Learners Let s work together, school and parents, to bring about a meaningful and fruitful learning experience for the pupils.
