Parent tips ....

Parents, lead by example when it comes to dieting, because you teach their kids everything. How to walk and talk, how to read. But there’s one thing parents are teaching their kids that they shouldn’t

And get this

But according a study of more that 14-thousand kids, the more often children diet, the more likely they are to become *overweight

Because most children only restrict calories <

*healthy* whole foods - rather than those with empty calories <

– how to develop eating problems. According to Psychology Today, mothers who are preoccupied with their own weight tend to encourage their daughters to diet as early as age 5! By the time a girl turns 9 years old she worries about getting fat - even if she’s naturally thin. And by age 11, a whopping 60% of girls have started dieting.– research finds that WORDS turn out to be more dangerous than actions. When moms talk to their young daughters about weight, instead of simply keeping fatty foods out of the house, girls are more likely to obsess over calorie-counting. And girls who are MOST likely to worry about their weight are those who pick up on mom’s statements that she’d like to have a thin child, even if those statements are subtle.http://www.drgreene.com/54_13.html>* over the next 3 years. Why?http://www.drgreene.com/54_14.html> for a few weeks or months at a time. So, dieting leads to a cycle of under eating <http://www.drgreene.com/21_144.html> and overeating <http://www.drgreene.com/21_1605.html> that results in short term weight loss, but long term weight gain! So what should parents do to keep their kids at a healthy weight? Experts say rather than dieting, kids should be encouraged to do more physical activity. Get them away from the computer and OUTSIDE!. Also, parents should stock up on delicious,http://www.drgreene.com/21_974.html>. That way they won’t have to tell kids to cut back on their eating, and kids won’t become obsessed with their weight and go to what could be dangerous lengths to try to control it.

SILLY BUT PRACTICAL TIPS

1. Duct tape- for warts and blisters

2. Super glue for cuts- stingy, yes, but very effective at sealing a wound

3. Yogurt for bloating- it helps to restore normal intestinal balance

4. Baby shampoo works to get rid of a sty. Wash your eyelids inside and out twice a day. It's strong enough to unblock the glands and speed healing without stinging.

A boat, GPS and enough fuel so I can get home.
