Encourage A Healthier Diet For Children By Growing Your Own Veg
May 25, 2006 (PRLEAP.COM) Health News
With childhood obesity at an alarming level, and the UK government announcing they are to weigh four year old children to check for obesity we need to do something to encourage a healthier lifestyle for our children.Diet and exercise are the things that fundamentally affect our weight. A little more exercise and slightly healthier food could make a huge difference.
One way to achieve both of these goals is to get children interested in growing their own vegetables. At kidEstore (http://www.kidestore.co.uk) we believe the Plant It Vegetable Patch Kit (http://www.kidestore.co.uk/plantit-vegetable-patch-p-163.html)is just the thing to get your children interested in the garden.
The beautiful set includes a wooden trug, wooden trowel and fork, apron, gardening gloves, string, seed markers and 2 pencils. Your children will not need any further encouragement to start their own cottage garden border or vegetable patch.
The Plant It Vegetable Patch Kit is available from kidEstore at http://www.kidestore.co.uk/plantit-vegetable-patch-p-163.html or on 087 087 45437.
