Healthy food

We knew that kids should eat more vegetables, but they really don’t want to eat them. One day my four-year-old said, ‘Why don’t you have to eat vegetables and fruits?’ I looked down at my plate. And there was some meat, rice, no green stuff at all. I realized that if we wanted our children to eat more balanced meals, we had to set a better example. Now I understand that it’s more of a family effort now, and it’s going a lot better. Have you heard it’s normal to offer some food ten times before your toddler accepts them? From personal experience, I know it’s true. The vegetable thing happens slowly, but it does happen. Broccoli, salad, carrots — it’s an everyday thing for all of us now.” So you should remember that fruits and vegetables help your body grow. They help you from sickness and injury, and they can even help you keep from getting sick in the first place. Plus, eating fruits and vegetables gives you more energy to play and to study. They can help you stay at a healthy weight throughout your life. Why not to love it?
