Making a plan to be active together can help to keep your family's health goals on track.
BBQ meals are so fun and flavourful and taste even better eaten outside! ☀️ Try to base them around veggies and healthier protein foods instead of processed meats.
Skip the screens before bedtime! Getting a good night of sleep contributes to your optimal health. Turn off screens at least an hour before bedtime for a more restful night🛌🏽💤
What are some of the benefits of cooking with your children? 1. It encourages kids to try new foods 2. It builds self-esteem and a sense of accomplishment 3. It's a great way to share quality time and bond together!
In the spring and summer months, a game after dinner at the park or a walk around your neighbourhood can be a special time to check in on how everyone is doing and enjoy time together. 🚶🏽
Not getting enough sleep can result in low energy and difficulty concentrating. Kids ages 5-13 years old need at least 9-11 hours of uninterrupted sleep. 😴
Power down devices while eating. Tuning out distractions—like your phone or TV—helps your brain recognize when you’re actually full.
Stay refreshed this summer! ☀️ Keep reusable water bottles handy so everyone can stay hydrated with water while on the move. 💧
Think about preparing plant-based meals more often! Research shows that a diet that includes more plant-based proteins is part of balanced healthy living.
According to ParticipACTION, Canada's youth are now the most inactive age group in the country with only 21% of youth (ages 12 to 17 years) meeting physical activity guidelines. Visit ParticipACTION's website to read the Children and Youth 2026 Progress Report.
Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines recommend that preschoolers (3-4 years) should aim for at least 180 minutes per day spent in a variety of physical activities spread throughout the day, of which at least 60 minutes is energetic play—more is better.
As parents, we know our kids are always watching—so why not show them the power of healthy habits? 💪 From choosing nutritious foods 🥗 to staying active through fun activities or family walks 🚶♂️🚶♀️, we can teach them about healthy living through our own daily choices.
Going camping soon? Camping is such a fun activity, especially in warmer weather, and is a great time for families to decrease time on screens and spend time in nature together.
Canadian 24-Hour Movement Guidelines recommend that children and youth aged 5-17 years should aim for at at least 60 minutes per day of moderate to vigorous physical activity involving a variety of aerobic activities.
Eat more vegetables and fruit by filling half your plate with veggies and fruit each meal! Learn more by visiting Canada's food guide at canada.ca/en/health-cana…
Teens who may not have smoked are now hooked on nicotine due to flavoured vapes. Youth vaping threatens to undo years of progress in tobacco control & contributes to future health risk. Learn more from Heart and Stroke: tinyurl.com/y9x6ca8f.
As we get closer to summer and warm sunny days, remember to hydrate with water!
This summer, try growing a garden! 🌱 Herbs and container-friendly veggies like lettuce, tomatoes, and peppers are easy to grow in small spaces. You can freeze them to be used later in sauces and soups!
Enjoy the spring and summer by spending time outdoors! Try a family activity, a new hiking spot, cycling trail, or go camping.
