Jovita's Quick Tips

Don’t just preach about good health in your home. As the mom, start eating healthier and model good behavior.
Cut up fresh fruit and leave it on the kitchen table. Kids will eat the first thing they find when they come home from school.
Find other moms and share healthy recipes and ways to cut out the fats and sugars.
Start your own cooking classes in different homes with other mothers as a fun, inventive way to learn how to cook for your family’s health.
Healthy habits are formed over time. Start with small changes and gradually change your family’s lifestyle.
