Healthy Eating for Kids
"HOW TO MAKE QUICK, EASY TO PREPARE
HEALTHY RECIPES THAT
YOUR KIDS WILL LOVE TO EAT"
THESE DELICIOUS, CHILD-TESTED RECIPES ARE HEALTHY YET QUICK TO
PREPARE, SPECIALLY DESIGNED FOR TODAY\'S HECTIC LIFESTYLE.
Barbara Schaffer despaired of ever teaching her daughter Jennifer to
eat healthily. Jennifer insisted she hated vegetables and fussed about
any meals that did not feature her favorite foods, which included
calorie bombs like french fries, hot dogs, hamburgers, and fish
sticks. Jennifer's weight was rising steadily, and she was oftentimes
tired and dragging by the end of the school day.
Barbara had tried everything from pleading to insisting that
Jennifer stay at the table until the last soggy carrot was eaten, to
no avail - until she bought a copy of "Healthy Eating for Kids. [1]"
It was with some trepidation that Barbara packed the first recipe she
tried - a Gobble Gobble Sandwich - into Jennifer's school lunch. What
if she didn't like it? What if she wouldn't eat it and went hungry the
whole day? But to Barbara's great relief, the first thing that
Jennifer said when she walked in the door after school was, "Mommy,
lunch today was great!"
Soon, Jennifer was actively involved in picking out her own healthy
meals, and even learning to cook the simple, kid-friendly recipes
herself. Meanwhile, she found herself feeling more energetic, more
cheerful, and doing better in school, thanks to her nutrient-packed
diet. [2]
WHAT MAKES "HEALTHY EATING FOR KIDS [3]" DIFFERENT?
Why did "Healthy Eating for Kids" make such a big difference in
Jennifer's life, where other attempts to improve her eating habits
failed? The secret is that Healthy Eating concentrates on creating
meals that are not only nutritious, but which appeal to a child's
palate and sense of fun at the same time. In this book, you'll find
food ideas that are:
* Unique and creative
* Have fun names to appeal to your child's imagination
* Come in bright, attractive colors and interesting shapes or
designs
* Have kid-friendly textures - crisp vegetables, crunchy snacks,
succulent desserts
* Make your child's favorite meals healthy, with ideas like PEANUT
BUTTER AND APPLE WRAPS, BLT ZUCCHINI BOATS, AND SNEAKY SPAGHETTI SAUCE
Teaching children to eat healthily is not just a matter of
pressuring them into eat good meals now and then. It is a long-term
goal that will stay with them their entire lives, if taught properly.
Healthy eating should not be about deprivation or dieting - it is
about making the right choices to ensure that the foods a child eats
are nutrient-dense and satisfying.
"Healthy Eating for Kids [4]" makes proper eating an adventure that
children will actively enjoy. What child wouldn't love to put together
and devour an Edible Forest or a Happy Face Snack? For children,
nutrition is an added bonus on top of finding new foods they love. For
parents, seeing their kids gobble down fresh fruits and vegetables in
the place of potato chips and cookies will be a great reward.
Food is not the only source of bad nutrition for kids. Children
today are gulping down massive quantities of carbohydrates and
calories in sodas and other syrupy-sweet drinks. "Healthy Eating"
contains recipes for ten delicious, nutritious, and low-sugar drinks
that will satisfy your child's thirst in a healthy way. Kick off the
morning right with a CITRUS SUNRISE or help your child's body grow
strong with intriguing green HULK JUICE.
NUTRITIOUS EATING IS MORE DIFFICULT TODAY THAN EVER BEFORE
Once upon a time, stay-at-home mothers had the time and the focus to
create three balanced meals a day, including nutritious side dishes.
But in today's world, there are many more single-parent homes and
families where both parents work.
Meanwhile, children are also busier than ever before, with more
homework, more after-school activities, more rushing from here to
there. In today's hectic world, who has time to cook, especially when
it is far easier to fall into the trap of picking up a quick meal at a
fast-food restaurant or pizza joint on the way home.
"Healthy Eating for Kids" was written with the busy family in mind.
Most recipes can be prepared in 15 minutes or less, which is less time
than you might spend waiting in line for a hamburger and fries.
The recipes in "Healthy Eating" also come in kid-sized portions. If
your child is a picky eater and refuses to eat the dinner that you are
preparing for the rest of the family, you will be able to whip up a
healthy alternative in minutes. On the other hand, if you would like
to make a "Healthy Eating" recipe for the whole family, it is simple
to do, since it is far easier to multiply the recipe than it is to
sort out the portions for just one person.

CHILDREN ARE PAYING THE PRICE OF BAD NUTRITION - DON\'T LET YOURS BE
ONE OF THEM!
Today's children are receiving a one-two punch of bad nutrition. Not
only do families have less time to cook, but healthy activities like
tag and sports are giving way to indoor pastimes like watching
television, playing game consoles, and using computers. The current
generation of children is showing a clear decline in their general
standards of health.
With the statistics for child obesity, child diabetes, and related
illnesses rising year by year, this is definitely the time to make
nutrition a priority. Luckily, studies have also shown that children
who learn good nutrition habits tend to keep these good habits
throughout adulthood.
Please don't wait. This one purchase could change your child's life
and decrease the likelihood of serious health problems both today and
down the road. Buy "Healthy Eating for Kids" today, and set your child
