 Concerned about the national obesity trend? Want to encourage children to grow up fit and strong? Don't know the right approach to weight management in children? You need to read 'Let's Eat Right! for Families' - a helpful book written by Karen Inge and delightfully illustrated by Peter Viska. It represents a fresh, new approach to encouraging families to eat right and live life to the full.
Let's Eat Right! for Families is a family-friendly, family-oriented book with a happy, positive and ultimately motivating message about the benefits of good nutrition and regular physical activity. It is about getting kids and families on the right track now, regardless of their weight and fitness levels, with a long-term goal of helping to reverse the obesity trend in Australia.
Like the author, Karen Inge, it is full of enthusiasm and positive energy, which spills over and motivates other people. Underpinning this is rock-solid expertise and authority. The warmth that the book also exudes provides the emotional support so often lacking in books of this kind. Let's Eat Right! for Families is also about getting the most out of life, through good nutrition and fitness. In the face of so many fad diets, no-carb diets, no-fat diets and the like, it is especially important to remember that children have specific nutrition needs, and that good nutrition - which includes carbs and some fat - and physical activity are not just desireable but essential for proper growth, even in the case of overweight children. Karen’s book tackles the many mixed messages families are receiving, both through advertising and the media, and gives plenty of practical ideas and guildelines for keeping the whole family in shape.
She also writes about the emotional aspects of eating and suggests how to be a "feel great" family, with advice on how to love your own body, understand your genetic blueprint, look after your body, encourage family fitness for all shapes and sizes and why you need to talk about it (but not preach!).
Let's Eat Right! for Families is available where all good books are sold and makes a perfect family present for around $19.95.
