    How to Raise Healthy Children One Step at a Time

    By Friends of Real MommaAugust 21, 20192 Comments3 Mins Read

    You won’t be able to protect your child from every scrape and bruise, but you can do quite a bit to ensure that they remain as healthy as possible. With a little hard work and some support from a few medical professionals, you will be able to help your child avoid some of the pervasive health complications that many people struggle with today.

    Start with a Good Diet

    A nutrient-dense diet is going to be your child’s first line of defense against a wide array of health problems. Well before they are born, you should begin looking for the best organic baby formula on the market. Once they are ready for solids, you can transition to produce that is packed with a wide variety of vitamins and minerals. While the occasional treat is fine, the foundation of their diet should be fresh produce, complex carbohydrates, and lean sources of protein.

    Schedule Regular Checkups

    During the first year of your child’s life, you will need to schedule checkups every few months. After that time, you will probably only need to schedule checkups every 12 months unless they are suffering from a serious medical condition. In addition to meeting with their primary doctor, they should also have annual appointments with a dentist and an eye doctor. Those healthcare professionals can catch minor problems before they become major health issues.

    Choosing The Right Exercise For You

    Encourage Them to Exercise

    Regular exercise will reduce your child’s risk of countless medical issues ranging from obesity to type 2 diabetes. It is also going to boost their cognitive health and regulate their hormones. While every child has slightly different needs, most experts agree that kids need to exercise for at least one hour a day. Running around at the park, playing out in the yard with friends, and playing sports are all excellent forms of exercise.

    Instill Proper Hygiene Habits

    Teaching your child proper hygiene habits is going to be vital to their long-term health. By the age of six, most children can brush their teeth, clean their nails, and take showers on their own. Before that time, your child is going to need quite a bit of help from you, and instilling those habits early on will make your life much easier down the road.

    In addition to these few tips, you must also make sure that your child remains psychologically healthy. Raising them in a positive and structured environment will greatly reduce their risk of developing mental health issues later on in life.
