Can A Healthy Family Lifestyle Be Fun?
123GoTV
It’s As Easy as 123GoTV
Have you ever wondered why the fast and packaged food industry keeps on getting larger, as we keep on getting larger, as well? I believe the pace of our lives seems to require instant, microwavable food, or take out. Most families have more than one person working. Everyone has got a heavy workload, including the kids.
Our lives are busy, busy, busy, and can we really be blamed for being tempted by high tech ads everywhere we look, as are our kids? And, snack foods and fast foods are tasty, with lots of what is often referred to as “empty calories” that don’t add much nutrition, but do add lots to our families’ waistlines and poor health.
The other part of the health equation is some regular exercise. The exercise doesn’t even need to be complicated or fancy. Some programs have discussed walking, on a regular basis, as an excellent way to maintain fitness. But how many of us have the time to walk very far, particularly busy families with kids?
Exercise for your kids-What to do about it?
I am going to start with the exercise piece, because it seems, perhaps, more out of reach. It seems like it has to be expensive, time-consuming, and involve some program outside the home. Don’t get me wrong. Organized sports are wonderful for many kids and families, and many do participate. But, how about everyone else? Is fitness out of reach for your kids? In our fast-paced world, are we looking for an instant or take out exercise program? I think so, and we at Kidexerciser, Inc. have invented and manufactured a kids’ fitness product, 123GoTV that uses your child’s own bike and your family’s TV. If your kids are anything like mine, they watch TV anyway. What if your child needed to pedal his bike in order to see his program? He probably would. The TV is a built-in, ever changing set of programs that does not require expensive game cartridges, like the Wii or XBox, to keep him interested, and your kids can get fit, right at home, while you are completing all of your daily chores.
How about instant food, does it have to be unhealthy?
Some fresh foods are fast and tasty, as well. They just aren’t advertised to us that way, because no one is earning much money putting them into a colorfully labeled box. What food items could I possibly be speaking about? My son’s favorites are fruits, cut in bite-sized pieces or whole. Our family enjoys apples, bananas, melons, and peaches in the summer (my own personal favorite). These are just a few examples of healthy fast food. Veggies such as baby carrots, tomatoes, red pepper, and celery can also be eaten on the go, with or without something to dip them into. All that this requires is for us to think outside the box, the snack food box, that is.
Thanks for listening.

Kids are bombarded by bad food every day. From the commercials on TV, to mom and dad’s drive through Starbucks habit, to the candy in their friend’s lunchbox at school. Providing healthy snack alternatives is a must. Talking about food is crucial too. Help your kids understand why some foods are better choices than other. Don’t just say “no” to chips and candy — explain why you are saying “no”. Let there be times when it’s OK to choose an unhealthy food. After all, it is balance that is the key.
In our household, food and how it works in your body is an ongoing conversation. We often offer smoothies filled with fruit, almond milk and even spinach hidden within. The Vi-Shake powder fills them with healthy protein, the fruit makes them yummy, the almond milk makes them creamy and the veggies are hidden and packed with nutrients.
Awsome info and straight to the point. I don’t know if this is actually the best place to ask but do you guys have any thoughts on where to hire some professional writers? Thanks in advance
