Make your child healthy: top 5 health apps for children
It is incredibly important to convey a healthy way of thinking from the start. It can set them up for a life of healthy decisions. Your children can develop their healthy way of thinking earlier than we thought so far! Recent studies in the New England Journal of Medicine have shown that a child's “weight fate” depends on the age of 5. Half of the children in the study that started with the entry into kindergarten was still obese in 8th grade!
Most parents realize that it is important to raise a healthy child, but it is difficult to teach them (or to get them to play outside) when they always play on their cell phones or game systems (more than likely that this applies to young teenagers). One way to implement a healthy way of thinking is to use this technology for your advantage! Take a look at our list with 5 of the best free health / fitness apps for children. Everything available for iOS!
1. Max’s Plate - This app helps children learn their staple food groups. The time -controlled game is that children classify the respective meal into one of the five food groups in order to achieve most points. This means that you can better understand what a balanced meal is! This app is for younger children and a great way to teach nutrition in a playful way!
2. Eat-and-Move-O-Matic-this app is ideal for everyone (not only for children). It shows you the amount of calories in the food you eat, and the corresponding length of specific exercises you would have to do to reduce these calories! For example, if you eat medium -sized fries (4 ounces, 370 calories), it takes almost 2 hours to jump to a trampoline to achieve this. It is to be understood that healthy eating habits correlate with less work that is necessary to reduce these calories!
3. Awesome Eats - Awesome Eats is an entertaining, appealing game in which you sort healthy food to score points (over 60 levels)! It can help children convey a healthy way of thinking, since it also contains a lot of healthy and interesting nutritional tips! This app is great because it introduces children to new foods and encourages them to try new things!
4. NFL Play 60 - Talk about how to get your child off the couch. You actually have to run, jump and turn quickly to play this game! With this endless runner app you can collect coins during the game with which you can unlock new characters and NFL team equipment! It is only available for iPhone 4S, iPod 5, iPad 2 and all newer models.
5. Motionmaze - Like the NFL Play 60 app, this app also brings your child from the couch! It is a puzzle game in which you have to help the captain find the hidden treasure! You have to run physically on the spot to navigate through the labyrinth! They literally get up from the couch!
All of these apps are great because they either teach their child about nutrition or actually get it moving. Either way, it's a winning situation! The next time you have problems teaching your child's right nutrition or getting it outside, try these apps to motivate it. Or you can always just take your cell phone away!
