Be role models in eating healthy and in exercising

I AM pleased with the government’s move to draw up a National Plan of Action for Nutrition, “Action plan for healthy living,” (The Star, March 25). 

We not only need to educate our people about the importance of healthy living but also reducing the obesity and overweight rates among them, especially the adolescents and children. If we want our children to have healthy lifestyles, we should first start with the family.
