Healthy eating is one of the easiest ways to keep your children healthy at home. Encouraging your child to eat fruit and vegetables along with other healthy foods, and limiting junk food to a treat are all ways you can help to ensure that your child is eating healthily. Being aware of other ingredients in foods is also vital when you’re doing the shopping. Some ‘low-fat’ foods often contain unwanted added sugars and so are not as healthy as you might think. Along with this, serving appropriate portion sizes is also a good way to keep your children healthy at home. Encouraging your child to drink plenty of milk and water instead of fruit juice, sugar-sweetened fruit drinks, regular calories soft drinks, sports drinks, energy drinks or sweetened/flavoured milk is vital to ensuring that your children aren’t consuming too many added sugars which can be detrimental to not only their overall health but also their dental hygiene. Ensuring that this correlates to both a child’s pack lunch and the meals they consume at home is important to guarantee they are receiving all of the right nutrients and vitamins to help them grow and remain healthy.
