Keeping our kids healthy is not always an easy task.
Following are a few sugestions to get you started or keep you on track.
•Eat vegetables and fruits every day, be creative.
•Limit fruit juice intake and reduce sugar -sweetened drinks.
•Use vegetable oils, such as olive and canola, and soft margarines that are low in saturated fat and trans-fatty acids instead of butter.
•Eat whole-grain rather than refined-grain breads, cereals, pasta, and rice products.
•Use nonfat or low-fat milk and dairy products daily.
•Eat more fish such as salmon and tuna,
•Reduce salt intake.
Tackle one thing at a time and think of food like petrol for your car. Put in poor quality food and you get less than desired performance.
