Nutrition of the child is extremely important for his development and normal growth. In the article we will tell you how to identify harmful foods for children.
Research results
Promotional, brightly packaged foods for children are less nutritious, according to a new study published in the journal PLOS One.
Scientists analyzed approximately 6,000 foods to evaluate their nutritional value.
The analysis found that foods and drinks with colorful packaging for children contain more sugar and fewer nutrients than simple products that are not aimed at children.
How to improve your child's nutrition
You can change your child's diet at home. Start by avoiding foods and drinks with flashy packaging that are high in sugar and do more harm than good.
The best food option for a child is homemade food. That is, dishes prepared at home on their own.
So you can adjust the content of fats, carbohydrates, sugar and salt.
Food prepared at home can improve a child's psycho-emotional health and even improve school performance.
You can explain to your child that some products from the store are actually harmful and how they can affect health and well-being.
