Overall Development of Children with Healthy Food
Children are in the growing stage where there is also development of various parts of the body. A healthy childhood would lead to a healthy adult. Parents keep on worrying about the health of the child. Healthy eating in children means the child is having all the nutrients in right amounts for growth and development.
Introduce variety in foods .Do not pressurize the child or force him. Let the child make his or her choice. Involve him or her while going for shopping. Let them choose fruits and vegetables. Drinking plenty of water can be beneficial. Teach the child with food habits as soon as possible Replace sweets and candies with fruits. Make them taste the vegetables. Involve the family while eating so that the child can sit with the family. Do not make a habit of watching television while eating as the child may not concentrate on eating.
Give malted, sprouted pulses as these are easily digested. Incorporate whole cereals, fruits either as a whole or in juice form. Milk, soybean and eggs are very much essential for muscle development. Water should be taken in ample amounts to avoid dehydration. Children who eat non vegeteranian can have small amounts of meat pieces, fish fingers or chicken pieces.
