What does it mean to live a healthy lifestyle?

Living a healthy lifestyle means you are willing to take charge of your health and make changes that can affect your overall health now and in the future. It means that if you uphold such a lifestyle, you can reduce your chances of developing diseases like high blood pressure, type two diabetes, stroke, early dementia, heart diseases, high cholesterol levels, other diseases and have a positive outlook in life. This is a gift that keeps on giving because your children will pass their healthy lifestyle to their own children. It is the best gift you can give your family.

Why do you believe so strongly that families should exercise together?

People in the same family tend to have similar:

• Eating patterns


• Maintain the same levels of physical activity


• Adopt the same attitudes toward a lifestyle they are accustomed to living

Studies have shown the key to raising healthy children in to healthy adults is taking a whole-family approach. It's the "practice what you preach" mentality. Most parents don’t recognize the power they have to model healthy behavior to their children. In addition while spending quality time together strong family relationships are formed and this is one of the cornerstones of health and well-being, and few relationships are as important as those between parents and children.  Show through your participation and action your attitude about exercise, impacts your children. When parents and kids are active together, it gives them a common sense of purpose and a goal.
