Parents who are thinking of sending their kids to day camps this summer will be interested to hear that they have been offered advice on healthy eating for their children.
Opposingviews.com said it's important that young people are discouraged from going on fad diets, which may see them not eating enough calories or nutrients for their growing bodies.
Instead, parents can lead by example by trying new activities to keep fit and eating healthy meals as a family.
Kids can be told they can keep a healthy weight by avoiding refined flour, refined sugar and processed food, and by choosing to eat more fresh vegetables and fruit.
The news source said: "If you can teach them [children] to get active and eat healthy while they’re young, they have a very good chance of continuing to eat healthy and exercise as they reach adulthood."
Furthermore, Florence Mitchell, a lecturer in nursing at Queen's University, said that parents can help their kids avoid obesity by encouraging them to try new activities.
