Eating healthy is sometimes easier said than done nowadays. We are surrounded by grab-and-go foods filled with preservatives, colors and artificial flavours. Involving kids in the food buying process and having easy healthy snacks such as fruits, veggies, cheese and crackers available also helps keep food battles to a minimum. For a healthy digestive system – have predictable meal and snack times, do not use dessert as a prize for finishing a meal, don’t force them to clean their plates as this causes the natural feelings of fullness to stop, which leads to overeating at meals and when bored. Kids should decide if they’re hungry, what they will eat from the foods served, and when they’re full. There is no need to snack at random times and realize that if they are not hungry, they can wait until the next snack or meal time.
