I think it's important to get children eating right from a very young age. Make sure they eat right and that they see others in their enviorment eating the right things as well. Help them see the immediate connection between having a balanced nutrition and feeling well. It is also useful to find healthy recipes the children love and ask them which of these dishes they would like to have and to make them often (make sure they are diverse in nutritional value). A good "trick" is to find children's books which deal with the subject, from my experience the children identify with the story and this makes them want to eat healthy foods and brings it to their conciousness.

It's not the mountain we conquer... but ourselves

I think that one of the most important things to do is to give your child a variety of healthy foods when they are young. Let your kids try sushi, broccoli, all kinds of vegetables, foods from other countries, etc. That way, they will not grow up being picky eaters. Also, let your children see from a young age that you yourself are a good example of healthy eating, avoiding soda, fast food, and junk food. I think that both the good example and the encouragement to try new things and to eat many different things will be a good start for your child's healthy eating habits.

In my day job I write about Blood Pressure Treatment and treat those who suffer from blood pressure problems. Low blood pressure is a particular interest and I'm often asked about how to lower cholesterol levels. A healthy heart is becoming a huge focus for many of us nowadays. Improving your blood pressure control and thus the health of your heart and circulation system is really important. My most recent online "adventure" is to start a facility for people to ask me my opinion and to provide high quality health information by answering medical questions online.

I also have a special interest in the problem of feeling Tired All the Time and in those who suffer from chronic fatigue or lethargy. This seems to tie in also to skin care issues or skin treatment problems and suggestions. Tiredness and fatigue can lead to major problems for many individuals in modern society and the way that this can affect all areas of general health can be quite invasive in terms of daily life and coping skills.

My work with footballers and athletes leads to a focus on Painful Shoulder conditions and on the problems associated with frozen shoulder or whiplash injury. Rotator cuff injury causes problems for many of my patients.

When not working I daydream about my next amazing european vacation trip My favorite European cities include Paris and Barcelona and my next blog project will be to write about the best way to spend a night in Paris and how to find an apartment in Barcelona. I just love European travel in all its forms.

I think the best way is to get them eating a healthy diet from day one. Sweets shouldn't be banned but used as an ocasional treat. It's also important that YOU eat ahealthy diet and set an example. Mealtimes shouldn't become a battle ground-food should be fun, not a chore!

I think the easiest way to instill good eating habits in your children is to lead by example. If you have healthy eating habits yourself your children will learn by watching you and eating what you eat.
