National Heart Month Begins - Healthy Hearts Fun For Kids

This month is national heart month and that means it time to give our hearts a little extra love and attention.  

We will start out this month with some heart fun for kids. 

Start this month with one goal that will help your child and family have a healthier heart.

Here are some ideas:

• Have your child's cholesterol checked at their next pediatric visit
• Get pedometers and start family walks (goal is 10K steps each day)
• Take the kids to indoor or outdoor play area for some fun physical activity
• Reduce salt in their diet, read food labels and choose lower sodium foods
• Reduce sugar in their diet, start with the breakfast cereals.  Look for more fiber and less sugar.
