Hi friends, I would be blogging about Child Nutrition for the next four week in this 4 part series of the blog titled, Fit Kid.
The Most Important factor for a Fit Kid is Food. To maintain good health ingesting a diet containing essential nutrients in-correct amount is very important.
The key to healthy balanced diet is eating the right amount of food for how active you are and adding a variety to it.
According to world health organization, 42 million children around the Globe are suffering from diseases like overweight, obesity and high blood sugar. The importance of nutrition begins from conception so that a child with good genetic make is born to sustain good health. It’s not only important what to eat but how?
The struggle parents face in raising healthy eaters doesn’t come from a knowledge gap but from underdeveloped parenting skills.
Old tactics like the clean plate club, food rewards and forcing kids to eat their vegetables often don’t work.
Parents should place more emphasis on how kids should eat and less on what they should eat. For example feeding children in front of TV, laptops, iPads, mobile this definitely doesn’t set a good example for kids.
Stay Tuned for the 2nd part on next Saturday titled “Fit Kid – All About Packed Lunch” Where I would be talking about the importance of packed lunch since it contributes to 1/3 of daily requirements of nutrients.
