Promote Healthy Eating Habits
  • Change your childs unhealthy habits before they
    become a comfortable routine. Simply bring
    healthy foods into your home while keeping
    unhealthy food out. In this way, you can
    encourage healthy eating habits, even for the
    pickiest children. Undertake these changes to
    ensure your child follows a healthy diet
  • Minimize shopping for unhealthy food in bulk
  • Add lean meats, fish, poultry and lentils for
    protein
  • Encourage your child to drink 8-10 glasses of
    water a day
  • Warn kids about beverages high in sugar

Limit Their Consumption of Junk Food
  • Follow these steps to reduce your childs junk
    food intake
  • Dont ban junk food all at once.
  • Stop bringing junk foods into the home. This way,
    your kids dont have access to them.
  • Make delicious meals at home.
  • Stop giving them unhealthy snacks/beverages as a
    reward.
  • Keep healthy snacks readily available.
  • Go for Healthy Substitutes
  • Replace fatty meats with lean protein and
    seafood.

    coconut oil.

Set an Example
  • To make the above-mentioned habits easy for your
    child to implement, set an example by following a
    healthy diet while avoiding junk food yourself.
    That will encourage your child to eat healthily
    and imitate and follow the behavior of elders,
    especially parents.
  • Dine with your child and keep meals and snacks in
    balanced portions have plenty of green veggies
    and fresh fruits eat calorie-rich desserts and
    snacks in moderation. Eat at home and pack
    healthy lunches in front of your child who is
    going off to school or on a picnic. When eating
    out, choose the restaurant that provides healthy
    meals.
  • Your healthy eating habits will be transferred to
    your child over time, helping him or her maintain
    a healthy weight.

Educate Your Children about Nutrition
  • Children can make good choices if they have
    knowledge of nutrition and healthy food. They
    must know the effect of the food they are
    consuming. However, teaching them to eat healthy
    can be complicated if it involves too many
    details. Instead, you can convey your message in
    a playful way so that learning about healthy
    eating sounds like fun to them rather than a
    lecture.
  • At the grocery store, tell them the benefits of
    green veggies.
  • Use picture books that provide information about
    nutrition and healthy eating in the story line.
    Discuss with them what they read.
  • Encourage them to play smartphone games, like
    Healthy Food Monsters, Healthy Heroes, and
    Healthy Eating with Diana.
