Dear Elizabeth,
I am very concerned that my grandchildren are eating a high-fat diet, becoming overweight, and not getting enough exercise. I am worried about their long-term health. Any suggestions?

Dear Concerned in Carlisle,
Given the vast array of healthy choices available today, high-fat diets are easily exchanged with
healthier choices. Model great eating habits always. They are also taught about healthy eating
in school, so serve those food choices when they visit you. Take them for a walk or swimming so
that they can get enough daily exercise. Substitute healthy fruits and veggies for the high-fat
options. Serve tasty, healthy meals when they visit you. Do all you can to keep your
grandchildren healthy!
