    • Why we don’t eat better?

    Author: admin

    Here is some common sense information and advise to help you live better and get more out of life. Do like your mother told you and each your fruits and vegetables. WOW! What a difficult concept. The internet is full of good information just like this, but we seem to not learn it. Then, we complain about the high cost of health care when we get sick.  Then, we ask our “leaders” in the Washington D. C. to pass a law so we can get someone else to pay for it. How about we take some personal responsibility here? Do the right thing as parents and lead by example.

    HOW TO AVOID A FOOD FIGHT, by Liz Szabo, USAToday 10/19/2009
    Create a healthy home
    • Keep junk food out of the house, or at least out of sight.
    • Limit TV, and endless commercials for junk food.
    • Plan ahead to avoid buying fast or processed foods: Pack a lunch before school or an outing; keep chopped vegetables in the fridge for quick     snacks.

    Avoid power struggles
    • Praise kids for taking even a tiny taste.
    • But don’t use sweets and dessert as a prize, especially as a reward for finishing healthier foods.
    • Meet kids halfway. Mix half a bowl of sweetened cereal with a whole-grain cereal, for example.
    • Dish out kid-sized portions, not intimidating mounds. For a 1-year-old, a single serving is just two to three broccoli florets or one skinny stalk of asparagus.
    • Don’t react, even if kids make a fuss about refusing food. Don’t make them clean their plates, but don’t cook them anything else, either.

    Make every calorie count
    • Blend vegetables, such as pureed eggplant or peppers, into spaghetti sauce. Add shredded vegetables, apples or other fruit to meatloaf and meatballs.
    • Sneak vegetables into soups, lasagna and even desserts, such as carrot cake, pumpkin bread or even spinach brownies.
    • Make your own fast food, such as chicken nuggets or fish sticks coated in bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.
    •Avoid juice.
