00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how cartoon characters can influence what food your kids eat. In recent research that will not surprise anyone who has a child it seems that kids prefer foods that are associated with their favorite cartoon characters. On the surface this may seem like bad news – but in reality parents can take this information and use it to their advantage. How about filling bags with fruit slices and vegetables and slapping cartoon stickers all over it and then give that to your kids to make it more appealing. If you can get your kid to be a more healthy eater and eat more fruit just by putting a Sponge Bob sticker on a banana – then give it a try. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

How to Introduce Your Kid to The Gym

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain how to safely bring your kid to the gym and learn about strength training. Kids love going into a gym because their are lots of machines they can climb on that they have never seen before. So once your kid is at an age that your gym allows them to use the equipment you should begin introducing him/her to the gym. The adult should always demonstrate the exercise first and then assist and spot your child as they do the exercise. Start with very light or no weight until the child learns how to do the exercise with perfect form. Be very supportive and try and incorporate exercises that use your child’s body weight along with exercises that use weights or machines. And relax weight training has not been found to stunt a child’s growth. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share some healthy kids breakfast ideas. Breakfast is important for everyone but for kids especially. They need the nutrition to get them focused and ready for the school day. Now parents are in charge of this meal – so no excuses. If you have unhealthy breakfast choices in your house that is because the parent paid the money to put them there. So the first step is to get rid of all the unhealthy choices in the house. Next find out what healthy things your kid will eat. Write down all the ingredients that your kid likes to eat and will eat. Now build healthy meals around those ingredients.

Jamie Oliver Food Revolution Backlash

Jamie Oliver Food Revolution Backlash

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy explain why there is a Jamie Oliver Food Revolution backlash. First, we are big fans of what Jamie is trying to do. Moving kids away from processed school food to a more fresh and healthful menu is a good idea. And sadly we have such bureaucracy in the school system that it is difficult to make these changes. And are we really shocked that when given a choice between stir fried vegetables and french fries more kids want the fries. Jamie should be congratulated for even trying and his methods should be implemented over a long time rather than a few weeks. And guess what, when the kids have only choices between healthy foods then they will prefer eating healthy food. And parents I don’t really care if my kid prefers chicken nuggets or pizza over veggies – our job is to feed them foods high in nutrition not just foods they like to eat.

Nurse Rob Luka’s New Book Helps Kids Overcome Fear of Doctors

00:00 /

On today’s show Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy had on Rob Luka RN, author of the book How to Help Children Overcome Fear in a Medical Setting. Rob is a registered nurse with lots of first hand experience helping kids feel comfortable at the doctor’s office. A great tip Rob shared was for the parent to present a calm demeanor and not look frightened in front of the child. Rob says the child is looking to the parent for visual cues to let him/her know what is going on. So if the parent looks panicked then the child is going to feel scared as well. Rob also explained that having the parent demonstrate the procedure first the child can see that it isn’t so bad and will go along. this works especially well with showing your child how to swallow a pill or get his/her blood pressure taken. He has worked with lots of kids who have juvenile diabetes and has helped their families manage the regular injections and blood testing they have to deal with. His goal is to educate parents and nursing students on some proven techniques that will make children of all ages feel safer and less fearful in the doctor’s office.

Child Safety Tips on the Playground

00:00 /

In today’s Wellness Minute Dr Fitness and the Fat Guy share some of their favorite playground safety tips. Playgrounds are agreat place for a kid to learn about the joy of play but you have to be careful – 15 children die on playgrounds each year and countless others suffer unnecessary injuries. After it rains remember things get slippery and more difficult to balance on. Make sure one child ata time is going down the slide – this is an area where a lot of kids get hurt when one kid goes up the slide the wrong way while another kid is sliding down. Don’t go barefoot – there could be sharp objects buried under the soft ground cover. Watch for splinters along wooden rails. And always keep an eye open for swing people and object – nothing ruins play time faster than a kid getting whacked inthe head by someone on the swings. Listen right now to hear Dr Fitness’ tips.
