Healthy eating starts in the school lunch box

It seems you can't move these days without another story about unhealthy kids and the food we feed them. Anyone with the lunch box blues can use these tips to create healthy habits early.

1. Buy multiple compartment lunch boxes and use these to provide variety in the lunch box.

2. Buy a thermos and provide the occasional hearty soup as a way of breaking up the routine.

3. Use the compartments to stock a dip, plus snack items like raw carrot and celery sticks.

4. Include things like dried apricots and cheese blocks.

5. Unflavoured corn chips are relatively healthy and preferable to chips and a tasty addition to the lunch box.

If anyone in the family has a health condition that may render them unconscious while out of the house, consider wearing one of our Mediband  brand medical bracelets to alert others to a sudden collapse. They're unobtrusive and come in a range of colours to suit fussy kids! They're especially ideal for children because, unlike metal bracelets, your mediband medic alert bracelets won't be harmed by salt water, can take the rough and tumble of childhood play and won't hurt someone's wrist if they're banged. If you require a medic alert bracelet with more information, consider our enhanced MedibandPlus  product. MedibandPlus is vital if your child has a life-threatening illness that could strike at anytime. It acts as a medical alert bracelet, warning treating professionals about possible causes of your child's circumstances if they're unable to provide details. If you suffer asthma or any form of illness that may render you unconscious, medic alert bracelets or allergy bracelets are vital.

Sometimes our customers are the best advertising we can do for medibands!

" I am President of the Whyalla Pink Spirits Breast Cancer Support Group and we are very pleased to be able to offer your lymphoedema bands to our members, and, in fact, to any member of the public who has had lymph nodes removed. I never take mine off. It is a constant reminder not to have blood pressure taken, or needles, in my right arm. Thank you so much for this wonderful product."
