Plan a Labor Day Picnic: 4 Ways a Picnic Can Help You Get Healthy & Active With Your Family by Susan Bowerman, M.S., R.D., CSSD, CSOWM, FAND

It's time to focus on healthy eating habits and getting active with your family. Here's some fun family tips for enjoying the outdoors:

• Filling your picnic basket can be educational and fun for everybody. Find a local farmers’ market and have your kid’s help you pick out fresh fruits and vegetables like watermelon and cucumber. 

• Vow to swap sugary snacks and processed foods for healthier choices like healthy protein bars.

• As temperatures rise and days get longer, don’t forget to pack water bottles and remind your kids to hydrate.

• Picnics are also an opportunity to incorporate family fitness. Set aside time during the picnic where everyone puts down their phones and participates in a fun family activity. This can be as simple as playing a game of catch, tag or kicking a ball around.
