How To Prevent Your Child From Becoming Obese
Did you know that obesity is crawling its way as one of the top health problems in children today
? It may come out as a surprise to some people but it all makes sense if you consider how far preservative and fat rich foods such as burgers and fries had made it on the menu list for kids today.So what can you do in order to avert such conditions befalling your children? For one thing, you can start by cooking your own freshly prepared healthy dishes.
If they dislike the menu you've prepared for them, things can get quickly out of hand and they might even prefer not having their dinner at all rather than eat what's on the menu.
The best approach to take when introducing dishes that you know your kids won't like is to include good ones that they like so that at least they won't starve themselves. Eventually, they'll try out the new dishes you've prepared for them for a change.
In my case, I used a recipe guide that had recipes in them that I could use for 36 weeks. This certainly helped me experiment and rate each one based on my family's preferences. After a meal I always ask my family if they liked the menu and place a note on each recipe appropriately so that when I go through the recipe guide again, I'll know the ones that my family will like.
It is best to look for a recipe book that features a lot of nutritious and healthy dishes. This would include veggies, fruits, meat or a healthy mix of these that will provide your children with a balanced meal.
Lunches being served in school are also typically nutritious. Thus you might want to use it as a baseline to plan your menus. For example, you can keep track of the meals that the school will be serving in a monthly basis and then use them next month for your own family.
You can also try introducing dishes that your children dislike in the past. Don't be too forceful though and have them take at least a bite. Who knows, they might just like it this time because children's taste buds do change from time to time.
