The whole family can take care of developing healthy habits in the smallest of the house. Many times the rhythm of life does not eat in the most appropriate way and this is a factor that we should avoid.
The diet of many children has become very rich in carbohydrates, sugars and fats and quite poor in fiber, minerals and vitamins, this is usually due to the habits they often take from the elderly. A study indicates that 30% of Spanish children have some problem of being overweight and this is not good for their health. Improve the diet of the little ones It is in our hands, and we should not waste time, because the cultivation of their health begins from birth.
It is very important to reduce the amount of sugars such as jams, sweets or candies. You also have to reduce fats and salt. Fat, especially saturated fat, is found in fried foods and industrial pastries, these types of fats must be replaced by fats found in olive oil or fish, especially blue. Take at least half a liter of dairy products daily (depending on the age of the child, the pediatrician will advise the amount of milk you should take) and in the main meals, including fruits, vegetables and cereals will help to control obesity and improve health. In addition, another important factor and with which mistakes are made, is the lack of time, this does not respect the time of the meal, and must be eaten without hurry, good chewing favors the digestion of your child and prevents Gases and other intestinal problems.
It is also very important to eat the whole family together whenever possible, since what he preaches most to the little ones is the example in all its facets, both in behavior, as in diet, in addition this will help the child to eat of everything. In this matter, it is important to try to motivate the child to try new foods, a trick is to make him participate in the preparation of the food, in this way you increase his interest in it.
And something that is becoming everyday and that we do not approve at all, is the celebration of some events such as his birthday or others, with fast-food. This meal is not beneficial at all and creates bad habits in our children.
If we also complement all of the above with encouraging the child to do some type of exercise, it will be a perfect combination that will provide the child with iron health.
