How to cultivate healthier children
It is difficult for us to achieve this goal. Never let your child turn off the TV and eat immediately when preparing delicious food, so the child may be very unhappy. Some experts once said, "Just as a basketball player must practice passing the ball, children must also practice eating some healthy food." As parents, we are their best teachers.
First, don't force children to eat all the food on their plates. Everyone wants their children to have enough to eat every time, instead of just eating a little food in front of them. In fact, children usually eat more outside than at home. Also, don't insist that children eat when they are not hungry, which may be counterproductive. According to an expert study in an American university, adults can take care of themselves and eat all the food, but children may eat about 60% of the food on their plates. Therefore, letting children eat is not for "licking dishes".
Second, happy movement.
As adults, we often equate fitness with happy exercise, but children may not feel the joy of exercise. In fact, it is enough for them to do exercise for about an hour every day. You can play football on the playground, take a walk with your parents, or go hiking together on weekends. The purpose of this is to let children enjoy the process of sports and feel the joy of sports. In the meantime, you can ask them how they feel now. Are they comfortable and happy? In this way, children will maintain the happiness of physical exercise while generating and enhancing the benefits of exercise.
Third, don't let children eat while watching TV.
Children eat while watching TV, so their attention is focused on the wonderful cartoons or children's programs on TV, which leads to them not eating well when they should eat. Eating while watching may not notice the signal that your stomach is full, which may easily lead to overeating. Besides, when children watch TV, they are more likely to eat a lot of sweets and drink a lot of drinks, because children's interest in food may be induced by food advertisements on TV. It is found that most of the current food advertisements are biased towards the taste of food, ignoring many nutritional problems and not meeting the standards of healthy eating. Therefore, a healthy life cannot be separated from everyone's joint efforts. Don't let your children eat while watching TV.
