Healthy family recipes: Kids need early introduction to exercise

The lack of balance in some teenagers diets is very worrying, according to one expert, who said that parents need to be aware of this when preparing healthy family recipes.

Rich Leigh, founder of Fat Free Fitness, said that the current crop of celebrity magazines focus heavily on faddy diets and she is not surprised many children think these are the only way to attain a beautiful body.

"Parents need to be aware of how much of and what they’re feeding their children and how it will affect them, but to blame them for the obesity epidemic is to jump on an already overloaded bandwagon," he said.

Mr Leigh added that teaching youngsters about the importance of eating correctly cannot begin soon enough.

Recently, the Daily Mail reported that curry ingredients such as turmeric, cumin, allspice, cardamom, ginger, garlic and capsicum all have strong anti-bacterial properties and are popular in hot countries where meat needs to be preserved.
