They have empowered mothers with the correct knowledge and understanding of not only how to get their bodies back, but also how to implement healthy eating in their homes. In fact, Weigh-Less has healthy eating plans especially designed for pregnant and lactating mothers which include four formulae each. Each formula can be adjusted according to various criteria in order to be certain that these mums stay healthy during a time where the demands on their bodies are increased. Both programmes include a variety of foods from each food group to ensure optimal vitamin and mineral intake.
Founder and chairman of Weigh-Less, Mary Holroyd says without even realising it, these same moms have inadvertently left a new legacy for their children - the legacy of a healthy lifestyle. You will not find a legacy more powerful than this. Furthermore, she emphasises the importance of imparting a healthy lifestyle and eating habits to your children. "The choices you make today live with you tomorrow. You are not only in charge of your health and your body, but your family's too."
Holroyd adds that healthy eating and adopting a healthy lifestyle is also important because it encourages longevity, improves quality of life, enhances energy and develops self esteem. According to Weigh-Less, mom's around the country can bring health into their homes by showing their children how to make healthy choices when snacking or on the run. For example, ensure that the fruit bowl is always full and accessible. Doing work in the garden, walking the dog and helping with the household chores are good ways to keep the children active while also teaching them some valuable life lessons. Mothers can also eat more meals with their children, so that they can learn by copying you.
By making these small changes mothers will not only be adding years to their own lives, but will inspire their children to realise their dreams too, as it takes commitment, self motivation, focus and dedication, all key tools your children will need to apply in their lives.
