June is here… The start of a new academic year bringing with it a whole bunch of resolutions for school children. New books, uniform, school bags – everything is a fresh start.
This also offers a great opportunity to adopt new healthy eating habits:
1. Get the Junk Out: With no junk at home, there will be no temptation to reach out for it. Replace them with tastier healthier snacks like roasted makhana, spicy jowar puffs, raisins, walnuts, etc.
2. Add Variety: Let the meals be less predictable – add variety of foods like ragi dosa, nachni puffs, tofu, mushroom, sprout chaat, paneer for calcium and protein; leafy veggies, dates, bajra for iron; colourful fruits and veggies such as kiwi, pomegranate, corn, broccoli, purple cabbage for vitamins and anti-oxidants.
3. Make Breakfast a Habit: A good breakfast ensures that our kid has better energy levels, higher attention span and less craving for calorically dense foods. Never let your child leave for school without breakfast, even if means adding their favourite foods initially to help form this habit.
4. Make the Tiffin Interesting: After a good breakfast at home, the short break can be utilised to add foods that are normally missed otherwise like fruits, dry fruits, nuts, salads, etc. – seasonal and colourful fruits and veggies would be an added advantage.
5. No Audio-Visual during meals: This should be strongly discouraged to allow the brain to pick up the signals of satiety and enable them to relish every morsel.
