The Price of Healthy Eating - Would You Pay Your Kids To Eat Fruit and Veggies?

Parents, would you pay your child to eat his or her fruit and vegetables if it meant they would be healthier? 

This article from Scary Mom highlights some of the pros and cons of a study that shows the differences in kids eating habits of fresh fruit and vegetables when they are given money or verbal praise. Getting to kids to eat their greens is one of many challenges we face as parents, but would you ever consider actually bribing them with money to get them to do it? According to science, that’s exactly what you should be doing.

During a recent study at Utah State University, kids were bribed to eat their fruits and vegetables using both monetary rewards and verbal praise. Unsurprisingly, the kids who got a little green in exchange for clean eating were more likely to up their fruit and veggie intake. They ate about a third of a cup more fruits and vegetables per day, versus a little less than a quarter-cup for kids who were only rewarded with verbal praise. It turns out kids are...Continue reading

FUN & EASY Fruit and Veggie snacks to make with kids in the kitchen!

Kid-friendly Veggies and Fruits

10 tips for making healthy foods more fun for children

Sometimes it can be difficult to get your kids to eat fresh fruit and vegetables. Here are some fun and easy ideas that parents and kids can create together in the kitchen. They are a great learning and teaching tool to help kids make healthy choices. 

Encourage children to eat vegetables and fruits by making it fun. Provide healthy ingredients and let kids help with preparation, based on their age and skills. Kids may try foods they avoided in the past if they helped make them.

1. Smoothie creations
   Blend fat-free or low-fat yogurt or milk with fruit pieces and crushed ice. Use fresh, frozen, canned, and even overripe fruits. Try bananas, berries, peaches, and/or pineapple. If you freeze the fruit first, you can even skip the ice!
    
2. Delicious dippers
   Kids love to dip their foods. Whip up a quick dip for veggies with yogurt and seasonings such as herbs or garlic. Serve with raw vegetables like broccoli, carrots, or cauliflower. Fruit chunks go great with a yogurt and cinnamon or vanilla dip.
    
3. Caterpillar kabobs
   Assemble chunks of melon, apple, orange, and pear on skewers for a fruity kabob. For a raw veggie version, use vegetables like zucchini, cucumber, squash, sweet peppers, or tomatoes.
    
4. Personalized pizzas 
   Set up a pizza-making station in the kitchen. Use whole-wheat English muffins, bagels, or pita bread as the crust. Have tomato sauce, low-fat cheese, and cut-up vegetables or fruits for toppings. Let kids choose their own favorites. Then pop the pizzas into the oven to warm.
    
5. Fruity peanut butterfly
   Start with carrot sticks or celery for the body. Attach wings made of thinly sliced apples with peanut butter and decorate with halved grapes or dried fruit.

Imagine What 5 Days of Junk Food Will Do To Your Body

What 5 Days of Junk Food Can Do to Your Metabolism

By Dr. Mercola

If you overdo it on pizza, macaroni and cheese, chips, and ice cream, you might worry about what it's going to do to your thighs or mid-section. But binging on junk food isn't only a matter of weight gain. It might have far more serious repercussions than that.

People who ate a diet focused on macaroni and cheese, processed lunchmeat, sausage biscuits, mayonnaise, and microwavable meals with unhealthy fats, for example, showed serious negative changes to their metabolism after just five days. 

After eating the junk-food diet, the study participants (12 healthy college-aged men) muscles' lost the ability to oxidize glucose after a meal, which could lead to insulin resistance down the road.1

What Happens to Your Metabolism After Five Days of Junk Food

Even though their caloric intake remained unchanged, when men ate a junk-food diet their muscles' ability to oxidize glucose was disrupted in just five days' time. This is a significant change, because...continue reading

Worried That Back to School Will Reduce Your Kids Exercise?

Have you enjoyed watching your kids running around all summer long? Do you worry that they won't continue to get the same exercise once school starts, and they are sitting down for the majority of the day? A new research study shows that a little bit of walking can go a long way. 

According the Parents Magazine "The start of school often means kids spend way less time being active. After all, they spend hours sitting in a classroom—and then need to buckle down and finish their homework in their free time.

If you’re concerned that your kid isn’t getting enough exercise during recess or at after school activities, researchers may have found a simple solution.

A small new study, published online in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, found that interrupting long periods of sitting with moderate-intensity walking can benefit children.

Researchers examined 28 healthy children (aged 7 and 11) who were at a normal weight, and found that devoting just three minutes to walking every half hour when sitting for a total of three hours resulted in lower blood sugar and insulin level when compared to a different day when the children were sedentary for the entire three hours.

“While we know getting 30 minutes or more of moderate intensity exercise each day improves children’s health and metabolism, small behavioral changes like...continue reading"

She loved discovering new healthy snacks for her picky eating toddler son to enjoy.
"I loved this subscription box. It came with a great variety of snacks, all of which are convenient and I can take with me on the go.
