Teach the dad, help the kid, too!

A weight reduction program for dads had the beneficial “side-effect” of increasing activity and improving diet in their grade school children!  Reports the International Journal of Obesity:

The HDHK (‘Healthy Dads, Healthy Kids’) program resulted in significant weight loss and improved health-related outcomes in fathers and improved eating and physical activity among children. Targeting fathers is a novel and efficacious approach to improving health behavior in their children.

It’s a family affair!
