Pediatrician-pediatric gastroenterologist Marina Myagkova shared recommendations that will help teach a child to eat healthy.
How to explain to children what delicious things are how fast food, soda and chips are unhealthy? If you don’t want your child to eat anything, on the run or in a dry bag, don’t do it yourself.
“Only parents can teach a child the principles of healthy eating by their own example, words will not help. But what the child sees, he will definitely remember and repeat, ”the doctor says.
Replace junk food with healthy food in the diet of the whole family. Food should be simple, without preservatives. Boil meat or bake fish instead of store-bought sausages and frankfurters.
Discard convenience foods. Do not buy mayonnaise and ketchup. Instead of cookies and sweets, give your child nuts and dried fruits.
Remove packaged juices from your diet, they contain too much sugar. The child gets used to sweetness, and healthy fresh carrots already seem insipid to him.
Cheese will help to teach children to eat healthy
Replace purchased drinks with homemade compotes and fruit drinks. And if you can't live without chips, make them yourself. For example, from dried fruits finely cut into plates.

And most importantly, the stomach does not like haste! Do not use gadgets while eating. Eat together with your child without rushing.
Chew your food thoroughly. Thanks to this, the fermentation of products will begin already in the mouth. And this means that the body will better absorb and digest what you eat.
