It is obvious that healthy foods and proper nutrition are very important for normal mental and physical development of a child. Almost all the variety of vitamins, minerals, micro-elements and other nutrients children need so much when they are growing up they can get only from the foods they eat. Therefore, every mom and every dad should give only fresh, high quality and healthy foods for kids which can help children to get stronger and more intellectual.
European specialists point on the importance of teaching modern children how to develop and practice good eating habits and how to be food-smart kids. According to their recommendations, the most important foods for kids include:
- all sorts of fish, especially salmon;
fresh veggies (especially cabbage, tomatoes, cucumbers, carrots, paprika, etc.);
- eggs;
- beans and other legumes;
- berries (especially strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, etc.)
- dairy products (milk, yogurts, low fat cheese, etc.)
Besides, in order to ensure your child’s good health, it is essential not only focus on making your child used to eating healthy foods for kids, but also develop healthy eating habits. Always praise his healthy food choice, but never punish him for choosing something unhealthy to eat. Instead, try to connect the foods to some things or activities your child likes. Let your child know the eating important foods for kids with proteins will make him stronger. Also, never use any food as a punishment or a reward. Finally, the key thing about growing up food-smart kids is giving them a good example of healthy eating habits of your own.
