Breaking unhealthy habits and adopting good ones can be a family affair. When the whole family is committed to a lifestyle change towards better food choices and exercise, it becomes much easier than doing it solo.

Plan activities such as daily walks, joining fitness clubs and playing a new sport together. You can collect healthy food recipes and have great cook-outs on weekends.

Make a joint pledge not to eat junk food more than twice a month. Make a list of the common junk foods that your family likes and find healthy alternatives for each one. Write them next to each junk food, and display the list on your fridge. That way, you always have ideas for healthier choices.
