Developing healthy eating
habits starts from childhood, therefore it is important for parents to teach
and provide children with a healthy diet. DPHSS administrator of the Bureau of
Nutrition Services, Charlie Morris told KUAM News, "A healthy diet for a child
consists of a lot of fruits and vegetables in the diet limiting the amount of
simple sugars in the diet and high fat food and highly processed(加工的)
food."
This means staying away as much
as possible from food such as chips, cookies, candies and sugary drinks, as all
children need to have meals which involve a well-balanced diet. Community
nutritionist(营养学家) Thelma Romoso said, "The fruit, the vegetable, the grain, the
protein, and also the milk, the diary product, so for the fruits it's easy for
a mother to go into the two plus three concept of fruits and vegetables or five
a day."
This concept means that there
are at least two servings of fruits a day, three servings of vegetables a day
which can be served for lunch and dinner. As for protein parents can make a
variety of dishes from chicken, beef, fish or even dried beans to make sure the
child gets three servings a day.
Morris said that the child's
hunger level controls how much is eaten and the parent controls what and when
the meal is offered, saying, "Mom needs to ensure that the food offered is
good food for the child to eat and throughout the day depending on how active
they are, snacks(零食) are not a bad thing, so the mom should offer good
kinds of snacks."
When it comes to preparing your
child's lunch and snacks for school, make sure to keep in mind that the food
you provide should not only be a source of energy but also be nutritionally
beneficial such as fresh fruits, and whole grain bread. But parents must be
sure to remember that a good nutritional diet must be balanced with physical
activity, namely it is important that children get outside and run around and
play and get activity in addition to eating a good diet.
