30 Days to a Healthier Family

We want our families to be fit and healthy, but the current invasion of junk food combined with the vicious cycle of TV, computer games, and the Internet has created an epidemic of inactive and overweight parents and children. In an innovative approach aimed at the entire family, author Peggy J. Hughes provides an easy-to-follow plan for a healthier lifestyle. Presented in a calendar format, each day contains meal plans, recipes, snack ideas, physical fitness activities, and a health tip. Following the first 30 days, the author suggests ways to expand the program with seasonal activities, additional meal plans and recipes, and ideas to incorporate healthy living as part of daily family life. An ingenious check-off chart helps kids track how the food they eat meets daily nutrition requirements. Separate charts for measuring and recording physical fitness and for setting and monitoring goals are also included.
