Keep these tips in mind!

Healthy Eating Tip:
• Most people, including kids, tend to eat what is handy. Keep vegetables and fruit in reach and in sight. Keep cookies, chips and candy out of sight and out of reach (better yet, don't keep them around at all).
• Got a sweet tooth? Snack on baby carrots or dried fruit instead of candy.
• Can't get your kids to eat enough veggies? Serve them raw more often. Most kids prefer them this way.
• Substitute whole fruit – fresh, frozen or canned – for fruit juices more often. While juices have lots of vitamins and minerals, they contain very little fibre.• Try at least one new healthy recipe involving vegetables and fruit each week.
