Health Tip: Pack a Healthy Lunch for Your Child
By LadyLively on August 27, 2018
Children need nutritious lunches to help them stay healthier, concentrate in school and play sports.
The FDA suggests how to pack a healthier lunch:
- Plan your meals for the entire week. Fill your child’s lunchbox with foods that contribute to healthy growth and weight maintenance.
- Encourage your child to help pack lunch. This will help teach lifelong habits for building healthy and balanced meals.
- Focus on the basic four food groups: fruits and vegetables, whole grains, dairy and proteins.
- Look for inspiration on healthy food websites.
- Make sure portions are appropriate for your child.
- Read nutritional labels to help you select the healthiest options.
