Why is it that America is the wealthiest country in the world, but home of some of the unhealthiest children?
That’s a question asked by Taylor Mali in this video. And the advice offered is pretty simple, namely that we should think of health as a skill and practice it every day.
And if we want healthy kids, adults need to lead by example.
How?
There’s a few simple ways to do it, including:
- Drink more water
- Eat more vegetables (especially the leafy green ones)
- Eat less sugar
- Don’t drink soda
- Stop watching TV
- Go play outside
- Get your heart rate up every day
- Chew your food more, eat slower
- Meditate
- Set yourself a health goal
After you watch this video think about one way you can be healthier and in turn lead a healthier life for those around you. Making healthy decisions doesn’t just affect your life but instead you can be an inspiration for others.
So, what’s it gonna be?
