Promoting Healthy Living in Your Family
Living a healthy lifestyle can be a challenge especially for doctors with families who also work long hours. But that doesn’t give you the excuse to influence your family to live a mediocre lifestyle. As a doctor with the primary advocacy as a doctor to maintain health, it’s your role to promote healthy living and provide them the best care that they can receive. Your presence is you and your family’s advantage.
The best way to influence your kids in the pursuit of healthy living is by encouraging your partner of the lifestyle. You don’t actually have to “sell” the idea to your partner. By eating healthy, exercising, and doing regular meditation/reflection, you give your partner the idea that this “so-called healthy living” is possible. Alternatively, you may also opt to challenge each other for 30 days to induce a positive pressure that encourages each partner to eat, move and think healthy.
To fully incorporate a habit into your life, you must first invite and welcome it with open arms. One way to celebrate healthy living with your family is by going on a Health CME Cruise, a unique alternative to a CME conference where you can learn, break a sweat and travel with your family at the same time.
Your kids (and your partner) will never enjoy broccoli that’s simply steamed or heated off a microwave. The secret? Asian techniques.
A large part of Asia is composed of countries known to have healthy communities for the food they have. Some of their techniques include stir-frying, sauteing and roasting. Try it for yourself. It’s hard not to love vegetables in Asia.
“But Mum/Dad, why do I have to?” Kids are so stubborn with not eating vegetables that it’s tempting to give in to their requests just to keep them at ease. But that only happens if they don’t see the purpose of eating vegetables or exercising. Mentioning the purpose of it all (e.g. Healthier body = Clearer mind = Better relationships) can help them understand why they should rather do it than not at all.
