Fixing Our Health Starts With Our Kids #drmarkhyman #kidshealth

How can you integrate healthy eating into your family's lifestyle? Well, get your kids in the kitchen. I always got my kids in the kitchen. I got them cooking with me. I took them to the grocery store with me. We decided what to eat together. We looked at recipe books together. We literally cook meals together. The kids just want to be with you, especially when they're little. It helps build their self-esteem. It helps connection to the family. We teach them basic life skills. I can't tell you how many kids and not even kids, how many families and people have no idea how to cook. I mean, the American food industry has basically hijacked our kitchens in ways that has caused a massive obesity, diabetes, epidemic and chronic disease epidemic. And it's because we're not skilled in the kitchen anymore and we don't know what to do. So get your kids involved. Help them plan meals, brainstorm about weekly menus, teach your kids about how to compose a healthy plate and what works, right? Take them grocery shopping and teach them about different foods that are fresh and real. Help them just be involved, get cooking together. So they understand the whole spectrum, what happens in creating meals.
