Mary offers a common-sense approach to raising healthy kids in a not-so-healthy world. This book was very educational and easy to understand. Her tips for putting healthful habits into family life was extremely helpful and practical! I highly recommend it!

Food, Fun 'n' Fitness: Designing Healthy Lifestyles For Our Children by psychologist and nutritionist expert Mary C. Friesz (who is also a Certified Diabetes Educator and a Certified Exercise Instructor) is a comprehensive, "parent friendly" guide to teaching children good eating habits, the value of nutrition, and the incorporation of fitness into daily life as a basic family value. Highlighting the importance of avoiding childhood obesity and the complications that can result from it, such as type 2 diabetes, as well as staying wary of "quick-fix" solutions that do not address building a positive, health-conscious lifestyle, Food, Fun 'n' Fitness is a solid and highly recommended compendium of advice and wellness-conscious wisdom, and an appropriate instructional reference for families of all backgrounds and socio/economic levels.
