How can I teach my kid healthy eating and exercise habits?

Mahatma Gandhi said — 'Be the change you want to see in the world'. Another quote that immediately comes to my mind — 'Practice before you preach'. I can quote more but seriously, kids love to ape their parents. If you want your kid to eat spinach, dump that packet of chips and head for palak paneer! Be enthusiastic about eating palak, karela and the likes that you probably hate. I have observed this with my 2yo. She loves to eat what Mama is eating. When it comes to exercise, she knows that Mama likes to run once in a while and stretches herself on the floor. I don't get surprised when she tries to lift her lower body and says 'Look mama, I'm doing yoga!' I agree it can be difficult to keep up with the healthy eating and exercising, but hey, you better be the role model your kid is seeking :)
