February is American Heart Month—a perfect time to focus on building heart-healthy habits for your kids. Did you know that the heart beats about 100,000 times each day? That’s why it’s so important to keep it strong and healthy from a young age! Simple changes like adding more fruits and vegetables to meals, choosing whole grains, and limiting sugary drinks can make a big difference. Encourage regular physical activity with fun family activities like bike rides or dance-offs to keep their hearts strong. By starting these habits early, you’re setting the foundation for a lifetime of heart health!
Make sure to wear RED on Friday, February 7th for National Wear Red Day in support of the national effort to bring awareness to heart health.

What better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than with chocolate? Surprisingly, the cocoa plant offers many health benefits- antioxidants that support heart health and magnesium that helps with energy and muscle function. To make chocolate a healthy part of your child’s diet, choose options with at least 70% cocoa, and pair it with nutrient-rich foods like fruit or nuts. Try adding a few squares of dark chocolate to trail mix, drizzle on berries, or make an easy heart-healthy chocolate pudding, for a delicious and wholesome treat!

Sustainable eating is about making choices that are good for the planet and your family’s health. Start by planning meals to reduce waste and making use of leftovers, and support local farmers by shopping at farmers’ markets. Growing your own garden can also be a fun way to teach kids where food comes from. Additionally, try incorporating more plant-based proteins and using reusable food packaging like glass containers or cloth bags to cut down on single-use plastics. You can instill habits that contribute to a healthier planet for everyone by trying out these or other activities.

Incorporating relaxation techniques into your child’s routine can help them manage stress, improve focus, and promote overall well-being. Simple activities like quiet reading, stretching, or journaling give kids the chance to unwind and recharge. These moments of calm also encourage mindfulness, helping children develop emotional resilience. By making relaxation a regular practice, you’re supporting their mental and physical health in a fun and effective way.
