Healthy Eating Tips

Super-foods are high in disease fighting vitamins, minerals or anti-oxidants. They act as shields to the cell damage that occurs every day in your body. Adding super-foods to your diet makes a huge difference to your health.

* Vegetable super-foods include spinach, beans, chickpeas, carrots. They have lots of fiber and different vitamins and minerals. It’s not easy to get kids to eat a superfood like sautéed spinach, but if you pair it with something they already like, like raisins, the kids may be more likely to eat it.
* Fruit super-foods include watermelon, kiwi, oranges, all citrus fruits, apples.
* Your kids may prefer raw fruit and vegetables, but they don’t have to be raw to be good for you. In fact when you cook a vegetable the nutrients become more absorbable to your body. Also if you put some olive oil or parmesan cheese, those fats help your body absorb the nutrients in vegetables.
* Another choice for kids to make home fries, which is basically baking or roasting red potatoes, hopefully with the skin on, because they’re less fatty. You can also make sweet potato fries for your kids, which are a super-food, lower in bad carbs than white potatoes, and they have lots of nutrients.
* Roasting vegetables is a good option, because it brings out the sweetness in the vegetables and makes it much more kid-friendly. Try roasted carrots and chickpeas—toss them with olive oil, sprinkle a little cinnamon, put them in a 400 degree oven until the carrots are tender.
