A LITTLE EXTRA SUPPORT ❤️
Hello September, and back to school and soon university too. 🎒🎓
I've talked about children's nutrition recently and what happens as they become more independent and start making their own food choices. But there is one person we haven't talked about enough, YOU. ❤️
As parents, grandparents and carers, we can be very good at putting everyone else's needs before our own.
We make sure they have breakfast, fill the water bottles, think about the packed lunches and encourage them to eat well, sleep well and stay active. But somewhere along the way, we can forget to take care of ourselves too.
And the truth is Children don't just listen to what we say. They watch what we do. ❤️
They see whether we eat well, drink water, enjoy fruit and vegetables, move our bodies and make our own wellbeing a priority. We don't have to be perfect. In fact, that's an important lesson too. Healthy habits are simply the small choices we make, most of the time. So perhaps, as September brings new routines, it's worth asking:
“What about me too?”
Filling your own cup isn't selfish. It's part of setting the example. Sometimes, despite our best intentions, busy life means our nutrition isn't quite where we'd like it to be. For me, this is where whole food capsules can help to bridge the gap between what we know we should eat and what we actually eat in real life, alongside a healthy, varied diet, never instead of one.
With the Healthy Starts initiative, young people aged 4–21 can receive Fruit and Vegetable Blend capsules or chewables FREE, what an absolute gift. ❤️ So perhaps this September isn't just about getting the children back on track. Perhaps it's about the whole family taking a few small steps forward together. ❤️
Who is the young person in your life you'd love to give a Healthy Start to?
Your child, grandchild, niece, nephew, or a friend's child?
If you'd like to know more about how Healthy Starts works, I'd love to hear from you. I'm always happy to share the information. ❤️
