Teaching kids healthy eating habits from a young age lays the foundation for lifelong wellness. Parents can influence better food choices without stress by introducing small changes and mindful eating. Here are 6 simple habits to help your child develop a healthy relationship with food.
A balanced meal, such as poha, upma, or idlis with chutney, gives energy and sets the tone for the day.
To reduce added sugar and salt, offer a banana or a guava as a snack instead of biscuits or chips.
Mix veggies like lauki, bhindi, or carrots into dals, parathas or rice to build a habit of eating greens.
Let kids help make chapatis or choose veggies at the market to increase their interest in healthy food.
Using small bowls or plates helps avoid overeating and teaches kids to listen to their hunger.
For hydration, plain water, nimbu paani, or chaas (buttermilk) is better than soft drinks or packed juices.
