3 Healthy Heart Tips for the Mother and Child

Our children are our most important and loved treasures. Therefore, it is important for mothers to care for themselves and their children before, during and after pregnancy. The importance of exercising and healthy eating just cannot be undermined, and these are a few tips for a healthy heart for mothers as well as children.

Tip #1 Colour is good!

Children are often very difficult to please! They have specific likes and dislikes from very young ages. One great way of including heart healthy food to their diet is by adding a rainbow of colourful food stuffs to it! From oranges to reds and blues, fruits and vegetables come in a host of colours. Fruits like blueberries, strawberries and oranges, contain a lot of vitamin C, potassium, fibre and folates which are great for the heart. Bright green spinach, broccoli, sweet potato and red bell peppers are some of the vegetables you can add to the rainbow meal.

Tip #2 Breakfast is the most important meal of the day

A healthy breakfast is very important to start your heart right! High fibre breakfast cereals, oatmeal and fruits can help reduce the chances of diabetes and cardiovascular problems later on in life. A good breakfast kick-starts the brain and keeps the heart healthy. Moreover, it is a great habit to cultivate right from the start.

Tip #3 Playing Games

There are children who absolutely love sports and some who are just not interested. Whether or not they take part in a team sport, it is a great idea to indulge in some form of physical activity in the day. Take your kids out swimming or simply let them indulge in some fun-time with their play mates. The best thing to do would be to crank the music up and dance with your child! Not only will your child and you get the needed exercise, but it will also be a fun way to bond with your little one.
