Do your kids keep asking for food all the time? 👧🏻😬👦🏻
🤔In olden days, we were told not to SAY NO to kids if they asked for food. However, this is not true now. With 14.4 million obese children, India is second highest in the world
❌Major reason behind this is the processed food which we feed to our children any time they ask for food between their meals.
🤦🏻♀️Biscuits are treated like a must for kids
🤦🏻♀️Kids have easy access to processed juices & cold drinks at home
🤦🏻♀️And if you are not giving chocolates, ice creams to kids, you may be branded as cruel parents
✅School-age children (ages 6-12) need to eat 4-5 times a day (including snacks). We need to plan healthy & nutritious meals so that they can get all the required nutrients for growth
However, we need to consider these-
✅Build discipline for a proper meal - Encourage you kid to have proper meal, sit with them & help them finish their meal. Most kids avoid finishing meals and feel hungry after 30min and look out for unhealthy snacks. A gap of 1.5-2 hours after a meal is must. Eating snacks just after a meal might reduce their appetite for next meal. They will snack throughout the day which leads to weight gain & interferes with absorption of nutrients.
✅Don't keep Biscuits, Chips & processed drinks at Home - If your kids have easy access to these, they might not like to finish their meal, saying they are full and ask for snacks later. As most of you have limited time, you end up giving them these
✅Ensure Proper protein items and veggies - Add good amount of Legumes, Paneer, Tofu and veggies into their meal. Keep good variety. That is the key
