A Healthy Child is a Happy Child

Dear Mothers,

Do you know that it is getting tougher and tougher by the day to feed our children right with the proper balanced diet?

Every day our children are exposed to and bombarded vigorously with all kinds of food advertising on media. You name them; the food industry continues to churn-out without fail sweet candies and chocolates, crunchy biscuits, cold-freezing ice creams, finger-licking snacks, flavored and sweetened bottled beverages / juices, and lots more other irresistible food items on the retail racks.

 

The list is just endless by sight, and at the same time horrendous to the ear! Our children are all becoming loyal consumers of these processed and packaged foods each time they are in a supermarket or mini-market. We, as Mothers and Parents, are losing the fight with the food industry in winning them over to our side to eat right and healthy.

 

Quite recently a friend asked me in my face, “So, what do you mean by a balanced diet?”

Well, as starters let me cite you more credible sources other than myself, the U.S. FDA and USDA defined a proper daily balanced diet as having enough fruits, VEGETABLES, dairy, whole grains, protein foods and healthy oils.

 

In short, these are the six food groups that we should be consuming regularly on a daily basis. The portioning of these food groups are all regulated amounts and stated clearly by these authorities of whom I will not dwell in today. Maybe in my next posting.

 

In order to improve one’s health and wellness, we must all begin to consume more of these healthy, safe, and affordable foods, and reduce our intake of too much saturated fat, sodium and added sugars found commonly in most processed, packaged, and prepared foods, even takeaway foods from our favorite restaurants.

 

Eating safe and healthy foods will keep us from an ever-growing epidemic of diet-related chronic diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and obesity. Poor nutrition also plays a key role in causing chronic but preventable diseases, which are the leading causes of death and disability in the U.S. and rest of the world. Obesity and diabetes are now prevalent in young age groups. It is a trend and a worrying factor!

 

So Mothers, having A BALANCED DIET IS NOT A GOAL that we set for ourselves or for our children. A balanced diet is KEY TO OUR FUTURE SURVIVAL as well as that of our children’s health, and total wellbeing.

 

Having now understood the importance of this balanced diet in our daily meals, of eating right and healthy of the six food groups, what are we going to do about it?

 

There are only two ways about it Mothers. The first option: we can just ignore it, allow this information to pass us, and then go about our life as usual as if you have heard nothing about it today.

 

Or in the second option: you can take charge of your life, make changes to your present diet and that of your family’s, focus on getting the six important food groups back into your daily meals, and start eating right and healthy.
