Friday, December 28, 2007 Curb The Fast Food in Children

According to reports all over the medical world, kids who eat fast food end up consuming more calories throughout the day than kids who do not eat fast food. Studies also found that more than half of the daily calorie consumption of fast-food eaters came from just one fast-food meal.

The bottom line is that overindulgence of fast food is hazardous to our children's health. It is recommended that you have plenty of healthy foods available for your kids. Try to keep fresh fruit and veggies chopped up in the fridge ready to eat. The more available you make healthy food, the more likely your children are to eat it. It’s all about planning and preparation.

For many kids and families, getting away from fast food is tough because it is so convenient. Soup and sandwiches can be healthy alternatives. But if you don’t have time and MUST opt for fast food, skip the fries and ask for extra lettuce and tomato. Many fast food restaurants also offer the option of exchanging the fries for a salad, fruit, or yogurt. The better choices your kids can make now, the better their health will be later.
