“Good
nutrition plays an important role in helping children achieve good health”.
Balanced
nutrition is just as important for kids as it is for adults. Eating healthy
food improves learning and increases energy levels, while poor diet intake
leads to sleepy days in school and also weight loss.

Healthy Eating Habits Which Kids Can Easily Adopt
It’s
never too early for kids to learn and adopt these easy and healthy eating
habits which will be beneficial for them for their whole life.
1. Off
to a good start: Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, especially at
a young age as the kids need to concentrate at school. Every parent should
check that their kids get used to having a balanced breakfast every morning
which includes fruits, protein and cereal.
2. Regular
rules: Every family should practice of having dinner at a set time instead of
quick dinners in front of TV at irregular time. Parents should also try to have
food together as it not only strengthens the family bonding but also the way to
keep an eye on how the kids eat.
3. No
rush: Kids should be taught to eat slowly and chew each bite well. The brain
also registers hunger and fullness after several minutes, so the faster they
eat, the more they need to eat.
4. Snack
savvy: We should encourage our kids to eat lots of fresh fruits and vegetables
instead of cookies and other sweet and fattening foods because fruits and
vegetables will help them to stay fit.
5. Rethink
the basics: Whole grain bread and cereals to be served, intake of red meat to
be avoided, quantity of canned food intake to be reduced.
By being careful with
the kids eating habits, we can always reap their healthy life.
