What does a sedentary lifestyle look like in Parents?
Effects of sedentary lifestyle
A sedentary lifestyle can mean health problems and not enough time with your children. Health problems arise from not being active like high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes, and more... Being inactive can reflect upon your children too in which they will not live a healthy active lifestyle because they follow after you. Making sure you set a good example for your kids is important for you and them to live a long and healthy life together!
How to manage a more active lifestyle as a parent?
Make time for yourself. You are a parent but you are also you and making time for yourself is important. This involves taking care of yourself and staying active. You can involve your kids in an active lifestyle by doing activities and sports all together as a family. Activities like riding bikes, hiking, swimming, and playing sports can be a great way to bond with your family as well as stay active and busy. This will ensure you all live a fulfilling and healthy life together.
