Already we are passing many bad things to the next generations through our genes......(those changes that have already happened in our genes through bad food habits and living style)

Avoid fast food as much as possible.....never promote junk food at home.....
If so, we can do our part to keep our family healthy...
Prepare them nutritious food in a healthy way, reducing oil and sugar content in food, giving food at right time, etc etc....
