Why Nutritionist Recommends Parents Adopt A Healthy Lifestyle For Their Kids 

A post shared by Palak Nagpal - Clinical Nutritionist (@nutritionwithpalaknagpal)

According to the Palak Nagpal, as a parent “your actions shape your children's habits.” Elaborating on the topic she says, “If you choose sodas over water, chips over fresh food and avoid exercise, that is what they will learn. But when we prioritise health, like I saw my parents go for a walk every morning, this instilled a lifelong habit of being active in me. I did not become active just because I am a nutritionist, I grew up in an environment where good health was a priority.” 

Palak Nagpal adds that as a child she never saw her parents consuming junk food or aerated drinks during their regular grocery visits. He shares that it was the primary reason that shaped how she views and practices nutrition in the present time. She signed off the post by saying, “Your kids are watching and learning from your choices. Make them count because those habits will define their future too.”
