Mommy Tips for Laking Amazing Kids | Nido Growing Up Milk

Being a mother may be rewarding, but it is no easy task. It can get too overwhelming sometimes, especially for moms like me whose kids are at the toddler age and at the early childhood years. Why? Because while I would want to keep them protected, I as a mom also want to make sure that their little ones experience an amazing childhood. They are only kids once, after all.



Being one of the mom bloggers who are invited for Nido's G.U.M. Kick off event, I've learned that one  of the best ways to properly protect our kids is to start from the inside. Yes, we’re talking about giving them proper nutrition.

Get kids to eat healthy



We were guided accordingly by Dr, Agnes Calleja who gave us mommies some tips with regard to making the right food choices for our kiddos. Fruits and vegetables are good sources of vitamins and minerals that benefit children in many ways. Aside from improved nutrition, these nutrient-dense foods also build up their immune system, prevent the risk of obesity, and promote healthy bowel patterns. However, most kids today are picky eaters. They constantly ask for sweets, eat fewer vegetables, and request for the same food over and over again.



Here are some tips to help increase their fruit and veggie consumption:

• Make meal times more colorful by mixing green, leafy vegetables with bright-colored ones like carrots and squash. You can also portion it in such a way that there are more fruits into the mix for that added sweetness.

• Keep children away from the TV during meal times and always have them eat on the table to limit distractions and promote good eating manners.


• Be a positive role model and eat healthy food together as a family as kids at a young age are still most likely to copy what they see others do.


• Teach kids healthy food choices by bringing them to the grocery and explaining the benefits of eating fruits and vegetables in a manner they will appreciate.


• Involve them in the kitchen and show them how to prepare quick healthy snacks, so they won’t turn to chips and sweets when they get hungry.

 





Protection for Laking Amazing kids

The ability of children to ward off sickness and disease is also very reliant on the health of their stomach where bacteria thrive. When people think of bacteria, they often think of it negatively. But the truth is, not all bacteria are bad. There are good bacteria and bad bacteria, and whenever there are too much bad bacteria in the tummy, the stomach system is thrown off balance, leaving children weak and vulnerable.
