Dr. Christine Wood, practicing pediatrician, author, instructor on healthy lifestyles for parents and children, and member of USANA’s Scientific Advisory Council, is offering her expert advice here on What’s Up, USANA? to help you brave the winter months with gusto. She’s offering tips on how you can take control of your family’s health during the busiest time of the year.
Avoid or limit eating out at typical fast foods restaurants. Find healthier choices that serve roasted chicken with fresh steamed vegetables, for example. Ask to see the nutrition facts for the foods in the restaurant so you can knowledgeably make a healthier choice.
Share meals between family members to cut down on portion sizes and save money. Add a side of vegetables or a salad. Take home leftovers to use for lunch the next day.
Watch your soda intake. Negotiate with your kids to make water or milk their choice. Many restaurants offer unlimited soda, so if they choose soda, set the limit to one. Sodas should be an occasional treat.
