Did you know that if we carry on as we are, 9 out of 10 of today's kids will grow up with dangerous levels of fat in their bodies? This will put them at greater risk of serious illnesses like heart disease, cancer and diabetes in later life.
We all want our children to grow up to be happy, healthy adults. But it can sometimes be hard to know how. So Change4Life has been launched to help us all, but especially our kids, eat better, move more and live longer.
Change4Life is all about making small changes to help your kids build healthy bodies. Visit the What's On section of this website to find lots of activities going on during National Family Week that you can get take part in and practise eating healthily and getting active with your family at the same time.
