When The Who sang "The Kids Are Alright," they were hoping it was true. But it looks like that’s a hope we haven't been able to deliver on.

However, that doesn't mean that you can't turn it around today — and see great results.

Two recent studies are instructive. First, a one published in the journal Nutrients found that 66% of the baby food sold in U.S. grocery stores is unhealthy and doesn't meet minimal nutritional recommendations (there are no established requirements).

On top of that, virtually 100% fail to meet the standards for baby food nutrition the World Health Organization is promoting.

And baby food products lie on the packaging. The researchers found that almost 100% had at least one prohibited claim on their packaging; many had between four and 11.

And foods loaded with refined flour and sugar were often given a product name of a healthy fruit, hoping you wouldn't read the ingredient label.

The second study shows that 20% of U.S. kids are not just overweight — they’re obese. That comes from poor nutrition and exposure to ingredients and chemicals in highly processed foods.

The health repercussions include premature heart disease, elevated blood pressure, early-onset diabetes, and other chronic health challenges.

The good news? You can change all of that.

Feed your kids freshly prepared, non-processed fruits, vegetables and lean proteins, and eliminate sweetened beverages and highly processed foods.

Build a family-wide habit of healthy eating and exercise.
