If You Serve Bakery Muffins to Kids

Bakery Muffins & Kids

If you serve bran muffins or lentil soup to kids, you'll probably groan and be laughed at. Today's children simply aren't getting enough high-fiber foods. Getting enough fiber is as important to your child's health as it is to yours.

Fiber-rich foods are a smart and thoughtful choice for your child because they are hearty and help prevent obesity, and the fiber itself does not contain calories. The obesity rates among children in the United States are clear evidence that drastic changes in healthy eating are needed.

Try to modify meals and snacks to be high in fiber over a period of time. Offer a wide range of high-fiber foods. Gradually switching to high-fiber vegetables and fruits makes it easier for children to get used to fiber (and improve their bowel movements). Try to get some fiber into their daily diet, which can be helped by giving them plenty of water.

Fiber helps children learn and behave by slowing the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream and regulating blood sugar levels. It may also reduce the risk of developing certain types of cancer later in life.

The daily fiber requirement can be easily calculated by adding 5 to the child's age. For example, a 6-year-old child should consume about 11 g of fiber per day. Adults and people 15 years of age and older need 25 to 30 grams of fiber per day.

Children get most of their fiber from eating fruits, vegetables, and sweetened breakfast cereals. Apricots, figs, and plums are excellent high-fiber snacks. I like to crack nuts like peanuts and pistachios. Choose pears, apples, berries, peas, nuts, beans, whole grains, and pancakes.

If the bread is brown, it doesn't necessarily mean it's made with whole grains. Check the ingredient list to see if it says "whole wheat" or "whole grain"; look for a product that has at least 4 grams of fiber per serving.

Involve your child in decisions about better eating and you'll find that he or she will be more open to healthy eating.

It's not just about setting the table at dinner. Set an example by eating healthy throughout your life.

The List Of Carbs Is Nature's Rocket Fuel.

  My friend Shawn would always tell me that carbs were bad. At first, I thought he was joking, but it turns out he's not. I can't believe that he really does live by this! Carbohydrates in the form of junk food aren't the best for you, but it's ridiculous to think that ALL carbs are bad. Let's all get up to speed on what a carbohydrate is. I'll look in the dictionary for a more straightforward answer. A carbohydrate is "any of a large group of compounds (such as sugars, starches, and cellulose) that contain carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen and can be broken down to release energy in the body." Carbohydrates are a natural source of energy for YOUR body! Carbs keep you going all day, and if you don't eat them, you're doing a huge disservice to your body. Carbs may add a few calories to the food calorie calculator, but they give you so much more than just a few extra calories. Carbs are good for your health in many ways, including keeping your colon
