Food for thought.

Food.
Its vital to our being...Yet so many people are STARVING from the inside out...

Children are especially at risk, as they can show signs of being "Picky" or "Finicky"....
They may eat and gain weight yet they are lacking in many vital health areas...we may want to Jump to vitamins, while this maybe a somewhat effective band-aid it is Not the answer.

We need to start on a path of healthy eating...of having whole foods...Foods nature has provided...or as some people call them "Slow Foods".

It maybe hard to Change the Diet of a "Picky" eater...But Parents need to remember that THEY hold the Key to their child's food patterns.....They have chose what food to introduce and they can be the ones to CHANGE what they eat.

It may not be easy but their are good ways to start...

Replace a Daily "Junk snack" (Like Processed Crackers or Gummy Fruits) with a Healthy whole food snack...Like an Apple, Banana, Organic Yogurt or even fruit leather (Dried fruit puree...Offered at health food stores and VARY easy to make)

Replace a "mock juice" with an 100% Fruit Juice.

Have Your child Help prepare a meal....its surprising what they will eat when they got to cook it!

Visit a Farm and talk about the Foods they eat....Its a fin trip for the whole family!


Again, You don't have to make the change overnight....actually it would be better in baby steps....But in the end your child's eating habits will likely transform!
