Good eating habits begin at home

INVOLVE YOUR CHILD : From the foods you offer, kids get to choose what they will eat or whether to eat at all. Try to involve your kids when you choosing which fruits to get home. Kids like to feel important in home matters. You can tell them to decide on a weekly menu too.

START THEM YOUNG : Everybody's fussy about food. Not just kids even adults. But it is good to know that food preferences are developed early in life, so you can start by offering variety. You may need to serve a new food on several different occasions for a child to accept it. Don't force a child to eat, but offer a few bites.

DON'T REWARD WITH FOOD : Food is not love. When foods are used to reward kids and show affection, they may start using food to cope with stress or other emotions. Offer hugs, praise, and attention instead of food treats.

GET ACTIVE : Limit TV and computer time. With that, you can restrict mindless snacking and encourage activity. Limiting 'screen time' means you'll have more time to be active together.

I wanted to add that this habit should be avoided because this habit also make us eat our food more because we just forget how much we have ate.

Dear friends,

Eating habits can be started at any age and applicable for the all age group. We have to eat more green leafy vegetable and grains and eggs on daily basis. We have to avoid the temptation of the snacks and street foods.
