6 RULES FOR RAISING HEALTHY CHILDREN

Set your kids up for a lifetime of wholesome eating
According to media industry estimates, advertisers spend $900 million every year on television shows aimed at children under 12. And more than two-thirds of that advertising is for food products: fast-food meals with action figures and dolls; sugary cereals with cartoon spokespeople; "juice" drinks that have about as much to do with actual fruit as Swedish Fish have to do with mackerel. And their message—that junk food equals instant happiness—is one that sticks with a child for all of his life. So how do you fight back? Start with these 6 Rules for Raising Healthy Kids.

Bonus Tip: Add lean protein like egg whites or low-fat yogurt to your breakfast and it will keep you satisfied longer than if you ate it at other times of the day. Get more tricks to eat less with these 7 Healthy Ways to Suppress Your Appetite.
