Fighting Childhood Obesity
Your Child's health. It’s what’s on everyone’s mind today.
That’s why Westfield is doing something special for its littlest shoppers. Westfield is giving a gift that will keep on giving for the rest of their lives – a healthy lifestyle.
With childhood obesity on the rise, Westfield is partnering with First 5 California – the only California organization solely dedicated to the health and well being of children ages 5 and younger – to facilitate childhood obesity prevention efforts.
First 5 California recommends following these tips to make healthier choices for young children this holiday season and beyond:
- Offer healthy snacks. Always have on hand nutritious choices, such as carrots and fruit.
- Consider replacing cooking oil with applesauce when baking holiday treats.
- Limit juice and soda. Even fruit juices have hidden sugars. Serve water and milk.
- Set limits. Only allow a certain amount of sweets per day.
For more information, contact First 5 San Diego at (619) 230-6460 or visit www.first5sandiego.org and be sure to look for more important obesity prevention information and resources at your local Westfield mall.
