Child Nutrition
A healthy diet helps children to grow and gain. It also helps to prevent obesity and weight-related diseases, such as diabetes. To give your child a nutritious diet
- Make half of what is on your child's plate fruits and vegetables
- Choose healthy sources of protein, such as lean meat, nuts, and eggs
- Serve whole-grain breads and cereals because they are high in fiber. Reduce refined grains.
- Broil, grill, or steam foods instead of frying them
- Limit fast food and junk food
- Offer water or milk instead of sugary fruit drinks and sodas
