From Hamble Valley Health. Some ways to encourage healthy habits with children.

Helping children build healthy habits early can support their wellbeing now and in the future 💙

Healthy habits don’t have to mean big changes. Small steps each day can make a real difference 👍

Some simple ways to encourage healthy habits include:
• eating meals together as a family
• drinking more water instead of sugary drinks
• reducing screen time and encouraging active play
• getting enough sleep
• involving children in shopping and cooking 🍎

Children often learn by example, so positive role modelling can help encourage healthy eating, movement and balanced routines 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Healthy habits are about supporting overall wellbeing, confidence and long-term health rather than focusing on weight alone 💫

Good sleep is also important for growing children, helping with learning, mood and energy levels 😴

Remember, every family is different and small, realistic changes are often the easiest to maintain 💙

🔅 Day 6 - Let’s Get Physical🔅

Sometimes life gets too busy and there is little time left for exercise. All of a sudden, two years have passed and you can’t remember the last time you went for a decent walk or went to the gym. We need to remember that physical exercise has many health benefits. Some are in our poster below, with more detail in Action Man manual:

🔅 Day 5 - Be Mind Fit 🔅

As men focus on their physical health & fitness, only a small % of men remember to consider their mental health and fitness. This could be due a sense of male pride, or similar. Being open to talk about what’s on your mind can actually help you and others, and could save somebody’s life!

🔅 Day 4 - Rethink What You Drink 🔅

Most of us know that drinking alcohol excessively can have harmful effects. Did you know that alcohol has been proven by research to have been involved in cancer cases in men, and women to a lesser extent, in Ireland?

For recommendations on how to drink less, the Action Man manual is a great tool to consider.
Some examples include using smaller glasses if drinking at home, and avoiding 'rounds'.

🔅 Day 2 - Prevention Is Better Than Cure 🔅

Unfortunately, research shows that men don’t attend their G.P. for a health check as often as they should. That can result in progressing health issues that could have been mdiscovered earlier. Healthy eating and having a more healthy lifestyle can help with your overall wellness in the long term.

There are lots of great recommendations in the Action Man manual:
