Save Your Kids Now, While They Are Forming Their Eating And Behavioral Preferences
You love your kids and grandkids. You buy them stuff: food, toys, clothes. You mean the best for their health and quality of life. Don't you?
Have you reminded yourself about what it is in those lunch and fast-food-places' combo meals?
Sure your child needs to be fed. But does the nutrition that comes in a cartoon-embellished box truly serve your child's body's needs?
More often than not, kid's foods – a.k.a. 'happy meals' – offered by the big establishments like McDonald's, Burger King, Jack in the Box and alike, lure little ones by gifting a toy in a brightly colored package. Of course it's hard for our little ones to resist. They will take that food, in that type of package any time.
Well, times are changing. We learn more. We self-educate. We implement. A child's body cannot wait... for good nutrition.
Here are good references to remind you and me of making healthy choices for our kids and ourselves.
Health.com website offers some great reminders for us, grown-ups.
