Tips for Healthy Kids
Posted in Kid Stuff » For Mom & Dad on Wednesday, November 11, 2009
Head Start To Good Health for Kids · Preparing healthy foods for children to eat at school will better equip them for study and learning. Variety is important: fruits and vegetables add color and crunch plus provide beneficial vitamins and minerals. Foods like wraps, smoothies ad dips are fun to eat! · Share the grocery shopping experience with the kids by encouraging them to choose healthy snacks, increasing the likelihood that they will eat these rather than choosing less healthy foods. · When eating out, be a role model and teach kids to make balanced choices. Add a green salad to your order and request low-fat dressing or light dressing. Choose mustard instead of mayonnaise or opt for stir-fried or steamed rather than fried. · To ensure that children are getting plenty of calcium, add low-fat cottage cheese to meals and snacks: create a mini pizza topped with part-skim mozzarella or serve reduced-fat string cheese for a healthy snack. · Working alongside kids in the kitchen, messes, spills and accidents can happen! For general cleaning and effective stain removal on everything from clothes to carpets, use OxiClean® powerful cleaners that won’t compromise the health of the home or the environment.
