It is already holiday in some countries and many children will be at home for 2 to 3 months. During this time, it is very important to make sure your children eat well and healthy foods. It for this reason that we will be giving some tips on the type of food that is good for kids to keep them strong and healthy.
Healthy Foods for children;
It is good to note that a lot of children love a lot of sweet and sugary things which to an extent is not too good for their health. So we are not saying you cut them off from sugar completely. All you have to do is watch how much they consume.
1. Beans
Though it takes a long time to prepare, beans is actually a very good meal for children. This is because, beans is loaded with protein and fiber. In most parts of the word, beans is actually not that expensive. Beans is important for a child because, kids need around 25 grams of fiber a day, and enough fiber actually helps promote healthy digestion and helps make children feel full for a long period of time.
2. Eggs
A lot of children love eggs, either fried or boiled and actually eggs are very rich in nutrients for children. To begin, eggs contain omega-3 fatty acids, which helps in the better development of the child brain. Also, eggs contain protein, vitamin D, vitamin B12 and iron which are important nutrients for children.
3. Avocado
Avocado is another thing that has a lot of nutrients to offer to children. That is, avocados are high in monounsaturated fats, which help in decreasing inflammation and keeping the child’s cholesterol levels healthy. Whether it is for a baby, a toddler, etc, avocado is very healthy for your child. There are many different ways to which you can make avocados or your child.
4. Sweet Potato
You remember we said children love sweet things, right? This is one thing children love so much because of its sweet nature. Sweet potatoes, are packed with vitamin A, fiber and potassium. Equally, sweet potatoes contain potassium which helps to keep the blood pressure and hearts healthy.
5. Milk
Milk is one thing you should not joke with when it comes to children because milk is very important for their growth. This is because, milk is full of calcium, vitamin D, vitamin B12 and also potassium which helps to give them strong bones.
There are just as many foods that are good for your children. Not to forget, other foods that you should take into consideration for your children during this holiday include;
- Berries which are high in fiber, vitamin C and antioxidants like anthocyanin. Berries are low in sugar so no matter the berry be it Blueberries, blackberries and strawberries they are actually a good snack for children.
- Vegetables are rich in vitamin K, Vitamin A, vitamin C, and cancer-fighting compounds. It is important to add vegetables to your children’s meals so that they can benefit from these nutrients to stay strong and healthy.
