Want to train your children’s taste buds to help them maintain a healthy diet into adulthood?

Avoid processed sugary foods that train the taste buds to crave more and more sweet tasting foods.  A sweet tooth is not the harmless trait adults like to lay claim too. Sugary processed snacks contain only empty and valueless calories. Swap them out for whole fruit or veg’, or take a stroll down the health food aisle of your supermarket to look for items that may replace mainstream snacks aimed at children and busy parents.  Better still have a go at making some nutritious treats yourself, with or without the kids help.

The best thing, according to Dr Daria Fielder, a Bondi GP, is a sandwich or wrap with whole grain bread and some fruit and veg’ in the lunchbox. 

It is also a myth that children will only eat white bread. Start them early on whole grain or wholemeal and they will continue to eat it as they grow. Whole grains help to lower cholesterol and are linked to a lower risk of heart disease. Our canteen provides only wholemeal bread and rolls.

So kick the bars and packets of highly processed foods out of the lunchbox. 

Your kids will love you for it, when they are adults.
