Eat Fit Keep Fit Week 9th-16th February

Tumble Tots teamed up again with Annabel Karmel to help promote healthy eating.

 

 

Eat Fit Keep Fit week commenced on 9th - 16th February and is in its fifth year. The theme was 'Healthy Eating on a budget'. 

In the recent 'National Child Measurement Programme 2007/8' conducted by the NHS Information Centre, which measures children in reception class (4-5yrs) and children in Year 6 (10-11yrs), it is reported that almost one in four children in reception class were overweight or obese; while almost one in three children in Year 6 were obese.  Compared to last year's study there is no significant difference in the figures, although if the trend continues experts believe by 2020 half of Britain's children will be obese.

To combat obesity, we teamed up with renowned children's best selling food author Annabel Karmel for this year's Eat Fit Keep Fit campaign which is designed to inspire healthy eating in young families. We believe that if children are started on the right food path from an early age when taste buds are being formed, and at the same time are encouraged to get moving, the growing trend of obesity can be stopped.

"In today's society, there are all sorts of pressure for parents which there probably weren't 30 years ago.  The working parent with children in nursery rushing home to prepare a meal is probably the picture for most families. Understandably, we all want the easiest solution. This can be done if parents plan their menu for the week in advance and shopped for the items needed for the working week. Cooking quick nutritious one pot meals during the week and leaving the really elaborate family meals for the weekend is one solution. And, this can be done without having to spend a fortune." said Annabel, author of 14 bestselling recipe books with book sales of over two million.

As part of this year's Eat Fit Keep Fit campaign, booklets giving useful tips on nutrition and feeding the family on a budget will be given out at Tumble Tots centres across the UK.  Alternatively you can download a copy by clicking on the image below or call 0121 585 7003. Within the booklet Annabel shares some delicious healthy recipes including Chicken & Corn Chowder, Annabel's Granola, and more....
