Packed Lunches For School Going Children
Skipping lunch is not the way
To keep you going through the day
Make a healthy lunch a part
Of eating healthy, being smart
Little Pinky is really worried about her lunch box, because it contains the mouth watering food items that her mom prepares every day. Pinkys mom tries her level best to fulfill all her wishes regarding her food habits. In India, people like to have oily foods and pinky is also not an exception to that. She loves to eat parathas and chola-bhatura a lot. But the only problem that this 8 year old girl is facing is that she is growing fat day by day. She cant play outdoor games like her other friends and cant climb the stairs either. One day her mom got a call from the school. Pinkys teachers were also worried about her obesity and called her mom to talk about the matter. They asked her mom to change her lunch diets and also asked her to include some nutritious foods that can make her bones stronger. Following Pinkys teachers suggestion, her mom brought some change in her food habits and gradually Pinky started losing weight.
Being parents, we often dont consider our kids lunch that they take with them to school. Junk food advertisements play a vital role in attracting kids towards foods that may cause obesity in the long run. It is a good idea to give your child a home maid lunch meal to eat during the recess. This will prevent them from eating junk foods in the school cafeteria. Studies have shown that when kids eat a healthy lunch during the school time, they can better concentrate on their studies. A healthy lunch may include boiled rice and vegetables, a dessert and a fruit. It is a good idea to make a space in your kids lunch box for some curd. 50 or 100 gram curd in a day may provide immense benefit to your kids; but avoid giving it in the winter season, because it may a cause cough and cold. Use rice cakes, English muffins, crisp breads and cracker biscuits with cooked chicken drumsticks, cheese and apple, vegetable slice or leftovers and salads to fill the lunch box of your child.
Moms can be quite creative in decorating the lunch box of their kids. It is a general habit among the toddlers especially that they get attracted towards foods that are well packed. Giving the sandwich the shape of a smiling face may work magically. While giving chapattis for lunch, moms must wrap them properly in the aluminum foil so that it remains soft, so that your toddler need not to fight with the chapattis while eating them in the lunch time. A banana is a very good fruit to be added in the lunch box because of its high iron portion. Banana help in enhancing the memory powers and also makes the bones stronger. With the right lunch gear, your child can enjoy a delicious and healthy lunch every day. Add a small cookie or tiny piece of candy for dessert along with juice, milk, or water for a complete healthy and fun meal.
