IMPORTANCE OF NUTRITION
Nutrition starts at infancy. Breastfeeding is the most nutritional food for a newborn.
Proper nutrition is important to their mental and physical development.
It is important to make sure we are doing all that we can to fuel our children’s bodies with healthy food.
By providing healthy food we are helping the growth and development of children so that they grow up to be individuals who are ready to compete in the world.

MOST KIDS, IN FACT, MORE THAN 85% OF ELEMENTARY SCHOOL CHILDREN, DO NOT GET THE RECOMMENDED AMOUNT OF FRUIT AND VEGETABLES.
OF COURSE, YOU WANT YOUR KIDS TO EAT HEALTHIER FOODS, BUT THE CHALLENGE IS HOW YOU DO THIS WITHOUT NAGGING AND CREATING A NEGATIVE EXPERIENCE AT THE DINNER TABLE.
THAT IS THE REAL CHALLENGE!
INCREASING YOUR CHILDS FRUIT AND VEGETABLE INTAKE STARTS WITH A LITTLE PLANNING.
It is important to include them so they feel moreinvested in improving the family’s overall diet. It isimportant that this be a family experience rather than‘Just for Kids”.
Keeping them involved and exposing them in different ways to fruits and vegetables is a key element to getting them curious and interested in these healthy food groups.
Find books, songs or television programs that discuss fruit and vegetables in a fun way.
Then plan on making a field trip to the local farmers market or orchard.
The children like to experience afterwards the things that they have read about.

eating fruit and vegetables a
‘punishment’ for kids. We want kids
to associate fun and positive
memories with eating these
healthy foods.
Try some new healthy recipes
where vegetables take
center stage
Keep fruit and vegetables out where you can
see them
