How To Give Your Child A Healthy Diet

How can I give my child a healthy diet?

When it comes to feeding our kids, we want to give them a variety of foods. You want to definately only have healthy options for them. When they are younger, their portion sizes are going to be different; half a slice of bread, or half a cup of fruit, half a cup of vegetables. Now, as they grow up then that serving becomes one slice of bread, one cup of fruit, one cup of vegetables. You want to be able to space out throughout the day what your ideal meal plan would be. If you go to mypyramid.gov and it gives you this amount of greens and this amount of fruit and vegetables, you kind of want to spread that out throughout the day. The other main concern or concept does come back to fruits and vegetables. I find that a lot of kids aren't eating their vegetables so, at this point, whatever you can do to sneak some extra vegetables in or introduce new ones to your child, the better. If they want to eat more than three servings a day, allow them to.
