Health Tip: Turning Kids on to a Healthy Lifestyle
By LadyLively on March 27, 2015
You want your kids to embrace healthier eating, but they may fight you if you push too hard.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics suggests:
- Let young children help make a healthy salad, instead of telling them to eat their vegetables. Explain the benefits of eating healthier, instead of forcing the issue.
- Encourage open conversation about nutrition and healthier eating.
- Understand that the temptation to eat unhealthy foods is everywhere for people of all ages.
- Establish limits on unhealthy fare and find a balanced middle ground. Such foods may be enjoyed on occasion but not banned altogether.
- Stock your kitchen with healthy foods, and set a good example by eating these foods yourself.
