Making Healthy Food Choices


Making Healthy Food Choices

1. Have Regular Family Meals.
2. Serve a variety of healthy foods and snacks.
3. Be a role model by eating healthy yourself.
4. Avoid battles over food.
5. Involve kids in the process.

Good nutrition and a balanced diet help kids grow up healthy. These five strategies are of the best strategies to improve nutrition and encourage smart eating habits.

Family Meals:
Family Meals are a comforting ritual between parent and kid. Parents use this time to catch up with their kid, and for kids it is a predictability of the family meals. Encouraging kids to take part in family meals also help...

1. More likely to eat fruits, vegetables and grains
2. Less likely to snack on unhealthy foods
3. Less likely to smoke, use marijuana, or drink alcohol

This is the chance for parents to introduce new food to children.
