It’s National Nutrition Month and what better way to celebrate than to get the family interested in healthier eating habits. By the time a child is 6 s/he has more than likely already developed their eating habits for life. (I’m hoping this is true in the broccoli stage in our house.) To make this easy I found an awesome site called SuperKids Nutrition. You can mold and shape your child’s eating habits now by getting tips and advice.
Melissa Halas-Liang, a mom and registered dietitian created SuperKids Nutrition to give tips and ideas for healthy eating/lifestyles. The website offers information that is simple to read and understand, activities (including coloring book pages), children’s books and more.
One of my big fears while pregnant was not taking the best care for my little one that was growing. I carefully watched what I ate, didn’t smoke or drink alcohol. But with both kids (especially Rachael) the one thing I HAD to have was Diet Dr. Pepper. But how much caffeine is really safe? According to the March of Dimes, the answer is 200 mg a day. SuperKids Nutrition had tons of information including where caffeine is found, what caffeine does to the body and best of all tips to limit caffeine intake. These tips are beyond the just don’t drink it, like switching white chocolate for your dark/milk chocolate.
I’m super lucky that for the most part our kids will eat healthy foods. Rach has been going through a snack food phase. She wants to eat cookies and cakes but the next minute she’ll be chowing down on the chicken I made for dinner. Charlie’s favorite food is broccoli. He would eat it at every meal if I would let him. So I’m hoping that it sticks with him.
So what information would you be looking at on SuperKids Nutrition?
