Kids And Food To Keep Them Healthy

What it means to eat healthy for your kids? I know such type of questions may rise in your mind as a compassionate parent. I know that parents might need some help to understand their kid's eating habits. 

In fact, childhood obesity is a worldwide problem and no child is safe if they don't have healthy eating habits. There are many causes of obesity in children. Some of these are fast foods which are high in calories and fat. They also contain dangerous trans (fake fats) that wreak havoc on a young child's body. Another cause is processed foods. These false foods are loaded with sugar and artificial colors, flavors and preservatives which add up to extra calories. Because of the added processed sugars, a child can consume a tremendous amount of sugar and not even feel that full.


It's no wonder that kids like fun, tasty snacks, which can sometimes be difficult to provide when the child has food allergies. Some foods that are safe for children, but also are healthy, fun and good to eat are fruit kabobs, which are also fun to make. Cutting up different varieties of fruits and placing them on a kabob is a fun and healthy way to satisfy a child's hunger. These make great snacks as well as another fun food. These are simple celery sticks with soy nut butter or sunflower butter spread on them with raisins sprinkled on top. Low-fat yogurts can provide a tasty dip for cut-up fruits or spreading some hummus that is sesame-free on whole grain crackers or pita triangles offers a delicious and nutritious snack for kids.

While the nutritious food you prepare for your kid gives you heavenly satisfaction, the hassle of trying to get it into their little tummies is no less a hell. You may feel helpless and disappointed, but you still have a reason to smile. Kids aren't as smart as they think they are! (yes, it's cute they think they are smarter than us). They can be creatively distracted and made to enjoy the very meal you have prepared for them.

It is true that finding healthy snacks for kids with food allergies can be a challenge, but it is important in providing nutritional needs while keeping the child safe. Snacks should be carefully chosen so they provide nutritional value, but do not cause an allergic reaction. Always check the ingredients to verify that the product is safe for the child and does not contain any ingredient that could possibly cause an allergic reaction. So, keep your child safe and healthy!!!

Milk : The Best Food Forever! (दूध एक उत्तम आहार)

दूधहा एक उत्तम आहार आहे. बालपणापासुनच आपण हे ऐकत आलो आहोत. लहान मुलांसाठी दूध हे पूर्ण अन्न असते. शरीरात कँल्शियमची कमतरता असेल तर डॉक्टर दूध घ्यायला सांगतात. कुठलाही आजार जडला असेल तर दूध घेणे अगदीच मस्ट. त्यावर अनेक जाहिराती आपण बघतोच, की ज्या दुधाचं महत्व सांगत असतात. दुधात भरपूर प्रथिने असतात, कल्शियम असते हे जरी खरे असले, दूध घेणे अतिशय आव्यश्यक आहे असे प्रत्येकज्ञण सांगत असले तरीही मुलात ते दूध शुद्ध हव ना? भेसळ्मुक्त दूध आरोग्यासाठी उपयोगी असते, भेसळयुक्त नव्हे.

नुकताच चीनमध्ये दुधातिल भेसळिमध्ये ५४,००० मुले गंभीरपणे आजारी पडलित आणि यापैकी बालके म्र्युत्युमुखी पडलित. दुधातिल भेसळ ओळखण्यासाठी चिनमधिल आरोग्य मंत्रालयाने नवीन चाचणीचा शोध लावला. दुधात मुलात किती प्रथिने असतात, याची आधी चाचणी केलि आणि त्यात भेसळ करताना किंवा नंतर झालेल्या भेसळितिल पदार्थ वेगळी करण्यासाठी ही चाचणी करण्यात आली. मेलामाइन नावाचा एक पदार्थ दुधात मिसळला जातोजो आरोग्यासाठी अतिशय घातक असतो. हा पदार्थ दुधात टाकुन दुधातिल खरी प्रथिने काढून टाकतात. दुधातिल प्रथिनाचे प्रमाण वाढविण्यासाठी पवादासारखा हा पदार्थ गाईना अथवा म्हशिना त्यांच्या खाद्यामधुन दिला जातो. Hou keun या चिनमधिल संशोधकाने नवी पद्धत शोधून काढली. यापूर्वी जोहान केलदाल या डेनिश शास्त्रज्ञाने दुधातिल नायट्रोजनच्या प्रमाणानुसार दुधातिल भेसळ शोधुन काढली होती.

थोडक्यात काय, तर भेसळ करणारे भेसळिचे नवे प्रकार शोधून काढतात, तर लोकांचे प्राण वाचविण्यासाठी शास्त्रज्ञांना यावर मात करुन नवी संशोधने करावी लागतात. खरे तर भेसळमुक्त पदार्थ मिळाल्यास लोकांत आयुष्य नुसताच न् वाढता निरोगी आणि निरामय आयुष्य वाढू शकेल आणि असे झाले तर मानवाने केलेली प्रगति आपल्याला -या अर्थाने प्रगतिपथावर गेली असे म्हणता येइल. होय नात्यासाठी माझ्या अनुभवानुसार मुलांसाठी Nestle Milk सर्वात उत्तम.
