First Lady Michelle Obama said, "Parents have told me -- I've seen it myself -- that they would love nothing more than to feed their kids more healthy foods, but if you don't live anywhere near a place that sells fresh produce, it's very hard to accomplish that goal." She believes small changes can lead to big results and offers her suggestions below:
Give kids healthier snack options
Reduce intake of sugary drinks
Drink more water
Encourage kids to drink low-fat milk
Slowly introduce fruits and vegetable
Provide parents with the tools to understand nutritional information
Kids should spend more time exercising and playing-having fun.
Kids should spend less time in front of the TV and gaming.
