Would
not it be great if kids grew fruits and vegetables, lean proteins, and
everything that was healthy and nutritious for they love? When
parents prepare healthy meals for their children, which help to
develop exactly the right habits that will allow them to develop not
only eating, but enjoying all types of healthy and nutritious foods.
Let us see what is involved in preparing a meal in healthy children. For a child to enjoy healthy food, food should be attractive to children.
Why do you think there chicken nuggets in the shape of dinosaurs? Breakfast cereals come in bright colors like all kinds of cartoon characters? Fast food meal children come with toys?
The food industry knows that these are all appealing to the imagination of a child. Healthy meal children all have the following characteristics:
Have fun and imaginative names that your child can identify. They come in bright colors and shapes and / or interesting designs·
Have familiar textures, crisp vegetables, crunchy snacks, juicy fruits, etc. Comes in child size portionsBy
introducing children to foods that are healthy and nutritious food in a
fun and imaginative way, which is already attractive to them and want
to try.
Nothing is more difficult to get a child to eat his/her Brussel Sprouts because I said they are good for you. In addition, using the imagination of your child, you can begin to engage him/her in a part of the planning and preparation.
Kids
love to help Mom and Dad do things, whatever it is, so it's a great
opportunity to get involved and start developing healthy eating habits.
For your child to participate, and keep their interest, all recipes should:
*Use basic ingredients found in most pantries houses.
*Easy to prepare for the child to help.
*Be prepared quickly (~ 15 minutes).
While
most children have a favorite food they want to eat every meal every
day, variety is also important because it allows you to introduce a
wider variety of healthy foods in your diet. In addition, all meals balanced dinner. Healthy eating means selecting healthy and nutritious meals for all options, including:
- Beverages.
- Snacks.
- Packed lunches for school.
- Meals prepared at home.
- Dinners.
- Desserts.
The
goal is to have your kids love healthy food and eat a balanced,
nutritious diet even before they realize that it is good for them, and
then love so much food, they ignore. So
instead of engaging in a battle of wills over who do not leave the
table until you finish your broccoli, prepare healthy meals for children
that are so funny they will demand more.
