Let’s face it, it’s tricky to keep the family healthy ALL the time. We are constantly trying to stay on top of good health whether it’s running around outside, riding bikes or walking through Disneyland…often 🙂 There’s no secret, it’s a challenge, but we try to have fresh fruit and vegetables on hand so we can eat as much as possible. It’s nice when there is so much goodness packed into orange juice like Tropicana, I know my kids are getting their fruit serving just by drinking a big glass of juice!

I am very lucky. My kids love love love fruit. Never any problems getting them to eat fruit. They also like quite a few veggies, so I don’t push it and force them to eat what they don’t like. I do introduce and reintroduce new and seasonal veggies all the time and my oldest especially will try more and more.
I bought that cookbook – Deceptively Delicious, and have been secretly adding good stuff to lots of recipes.
I keep only healthy snacks in the house including lots of fruit and veggies in the house and most of our meals are cooked at home, rather than eating out.

To keep the family healthy I like to make sure everyone gets adequate sleep, plenty of fruits,vegetables, and water in their diets, and enough exercise.
my son refuses veggies so i grate carrots and put them in muffins and i buy fruit/veggie blend drinks to sneak them into him

Drinks lots of fruit smoothies & eat lots of fresh veggie salads & stir fries. Now that the weather is getting nicer, we’re spending as much time outside as possible. No sodas in the house, juice, water, tea if we’re thirsty 🙂
I really want some money to study nutrition and I want to learn to cook.
WE LIKE TO GROW OUR OWN FRUIT IN THE GARDEN BEHIND OUR HOUSE- IT’S AWESOME FUN BUT TAKES A LOT OF PATIENCE, & I THINK IT’S A LOT HEALTHIER THEN THE PESTACIDES FOUND ON STORE BOUGHT VEGGIES kytah00@yahoo.com

I have them help make pizzas with lots of vegies
We play outside a lot. We take our daughter on bike rides, we play catch in the backyard, and we are teaching our daughter how to play tee-ball and soccer.
I like to cook and eat homemade meals with a variety of colors. I’m always a huge advocate for water. I think it’s the best thing to drink when trying to stay fit and healthy.

We use only natural/organic products, from skincare and haircare to what we consume. I grow my own vegetables and we buy everything else at whole foods or a multitude of online vendors.

We try to have well-balanced dinners together if we can’t do anything else together.
We cook and eat at home as often as possible, and go for lots of walks!
Buy lots of fresh produce!
I keep my family healthy by limiting fast food intake.
I buy and keep lots of fresh veggies and fruit ready for snacking on in the fridge!
I make sure my son at least TRIES every new food I give him, and he often ends up liking it. In fact, he LOVES broccoli!
We often enjoy spinach and fruit smoothies. It’s the only way I can get any vegetables into my kids’ bodies! They’re super delicious.
Definitely cutting out meat and increasing dark leafy greens, exercising, and reducing sugar consumption (it’s hidden everywhere!)
We eat healthy snacks like veggies or trail mix.
i make sure to incorporate plenty of protein and fiber in my diet, and make sure to eat at least a piece or two of fruit every day. it’s a work in progress 🙂
we serve lots of fruits and veggies and whole grains.
I try to get everyone started with a good breakfast!
Starting in January, I began tracking the foods I was eating through a calorie counting website. By doing that, I began paying much closer attention to the foods I was purchasing, picking healthier ingredients for dinner, and making sure my primary (and only!!) drink was water. This has allowed for more fruits and vegetables in our diet too!
Healthier eating combined with exercise helped me drop 15lbs!
