Parents need all the help they can get

2007-08-02T03:02:00.000-07:00

Kid’s Rock Band ‘Kids4Life’ make obesity a shrinking issue
The Prime Minister has stated that “Obesity is the responsibility of the individual, and
in the case of children, their parents.” If John Howard isn’t offering any assistance,
then parents are going to need all the help they can get.
Currently, almost a quarter of all Australian children and teenagers are overweight or obese.
The best remedy for fighting fat – in adults or children – will always be a healthy diet and exercise. So why are kids becoming obese? Children spend a lot of time playing computer games, watching television, and eating fatty snacks like chips and chocolate, instead of playing outside and eating nutritious meals. Further, a fear of crime and 'stranger danger' has led many parents to keep their kids indoors when not able to be observed. When both parents work, children often have little supervision after school; no-one to turn off the television and take them to a sporting activity or for a run in the park. And with half the food commercials on television aimed at children spruiking high fat, sugary foods, it’s little wonder that childhood obesity is spiraling out of control.
Aussie girls Bex and Joey of highly successful kid’s rock band Kids4Life (or K4L) have decided to do something about it. Geared towards 3 - 9 year olds, Kids4Life’s music, DVD and live shows are all about promoting the skills kids need for life. Through cool, top 40 chart styled music and ultra modern moves and grooves, K4L's Bex & Joey keep kids dancing, singing and interactive, while teaching them about maintaining a healthy self esteem, good nutrition, active lifestyles, goal setting and music. But most of all K4L teach kids to enjoy being a kid, to have fun, and stay active.
Kids4Life are educating as many children worldwide as possible about the amazing effects of positive life choices. In doing this, they aim to contribute to decreasing the advent of many childhood lifestyle diseases such as obesity, depression and ADHD. This will hopefully lead to healthier teenagers who can go on to lead a happy life.
Kids4Life are also on the offensive against large corporations that use screensavers and interactive websites to market junk food to children. Launching their ‘super-sized’ website (http://www.kids4life.com.au/), K4L’s site offers just as much fun and appeal - packed with games, free downloads and a cool Kids Crew Competitions - but crammed with sneakily health-educational messages.

“By making healthy eating and exercise fun and exciting for them, the kids will want to put it into practice. And if children really want to be watching television, then put one of our DVDs on; as not only can they learn about positive eating and lifestyle choices, all of the songs are fully interactive and extremely cool” says Bex. "As kids watch our DVD, they love jumping around to the dance moves of our chart-styled music video clips, little do they realise they are exercising at the same time!” says Joey. Both girls agree that the most satisfying part of their job is being able to help kids learn how to lead a healthier, longer life.

By making positive lifestyle choices fun for children and easy for parents, and by helping health changes to occur at a societal as well as an individual level, Kids4Life hope to make obesity a shrinking issue.

SCHOOL LUNCHBOX

2007-07-28T05:56:00.000-07:00

WHAT'S IN MY LUNCHBOX?

"What's in my lunchbox to eat today my tummy's kickin' in a funky way!" These are the words to the popular Kids4Life song "Lunchbox" www.kids4life.com.au WHAT IS THIS SONG ABOUT?The catchy, fun, upbeat song is all about teaching kids on the healthy food options to add in their school lunchbox. The words of the Kids4Life song are full of healthy tips for your kids lunchbox: "Banana, apple, museli bar, eat real good it'll get you far. Yoghurt, grapes, sandwich too, just a few of the cool foods!"

With fast food junk being an easy escape for many, it is also very important to remember that a child's nutrition needs to be filled with a wide range of healthy fruit and vegetables.

WHAT'S IN MY LUNCHBOX? - TIPS

A colourful lunchbox is a healthy lunchbox - try to add at least 2 pieces of fruit in your child's
lunchbox, along with other vegetables and foods. Take a look next time you pack your kids lunch and ask yourself... "Is this lunchbox colourful enough?" Meaning does it have a range of some fruit, vegetables and healthy snacks that makes the lunchbox full of colour and fun to eat!

- Fruit & Vegetables But what if my child won't eat fruit or a whole piece of fruit etc... Then try making the fruit fun! HOW? Cut the fruit up and place it into small containers so it is easy for the kids to eat, ie. make a mini fruit salad and place the fruits in a smily face in the container. Don't have time to make and cut up funny faces? Well then, cut up some fruit into small squares, quarters or strips that are easy to pick up and eat ie. orange quarters, apple squares or watermelon strips. What vegetables could I add? Try cutting up some cuecumber or carrot & celery sticks which you could pack with some dip like cheese dip.
- hydrated It is very important that kids remain hydrated throughout the day. Water (H2O) or Juice are best! Just like Kids4Life say in their lunchbox song "Juice or H20 drink it and away you go, hydrate your body now, so you can jump around!"
- Sandwiches or wraps are a great healthy option compared to pies or sausage rolls or left over fast food. Ensure the sandwich or wrap is filled with nutritious fillings, such as a favourite aussie kids sandwich vegemite and cheese, or other healthy fillers are salad with ham, chicken and tomato, tuna and salad. Wholemeal or multi-grain breads are best. Snacks - along with fruit salad and vege sticks as mentioned above, other healthy snacks you could place into your child's lunchbox are museli bar, vita brits biscuits with a spread, yoghurt, pieces of fruit.
Well there you have it some quick tips on a healthy school lunchbox for your little one!

Have a wonderful day and remember todays tip!

"A colourful lunchbox is a healthy lunchbox!"
