The culture of a healthy lifestyle has been dominant in modern society for several years, but not everyone adheres to it.

This is especially upsetting for parents who want to give their children only the best.

In such cases, it is worth finding out how you can influence the child.

How to teach children a healthy lifestyle

"Let go" of the sofa

Many people spend almost all their free time on the couch. You can write it off as fatigue, but we don’t need so much passive rest if we haven’t been exposed to intense physical activity during the day.

Try to be more active as a family: instead of relaxing on the couch, at least prefer physical activity.

Teach them hygiene procedures

Experts recommend starting with basic habits that will be useful throughout life. Monitor the regularity of brushing teeth, teach how to wash hands correctly, wean off bad habits.

It may seem like a small investment, but basic hygiene practices can lay a solid foundation for a healthy lifestyle.

Absence of provoking factors

Children tend to absorb what they see around them, so the home environment should be right. Avoid tobacco and alcohol, especially in front of children.

Study the composition of products together, cook healthy food. You can do morning exercises together, go jogging and play sports outdoors.

Teach them from an early age to monitor their drinking regime and rest schedule.
