What are the benefits of eating healthy?
Children learn most health-related behaviours from the adults around them, and parents who model healthful eating and exercise habits tend to pass these on.
A healthful diet includes a variety of fruits and vegetables of many colours, whole grains and starches, good fats, and lean proteins.
A diet with adequate calcium and magnesium is necessary for strong bones and teeth. Keeping the bones healthy is vital in preventing osteoporosis and osteoarthritis later in life.
The following foods are rich in calcium:
low-fat dairy products
broccoli
goat cheese
pumpkin
fruits
salad
Please see the below following sample menu
Breakfast
Pulled chicken and veggie sandwich
Pulled chicken sandwiches with crunchy homemade salad is an easy grilled meal. Tender white meat tossed in a lots vegetables and served on a toasted bun for the ultimate handheld meal!
Snack 1
Jelly with fresh fruits
There is nothing better than waking up on a sunny morning and making a hot cup of coffee to enjoy a nice breakfast. The perfect snack with lots of fruits give You an extra shot of energy.
This is especially true when we get to enjoy them without being rushed.
Lunch
Chicken in sun-dried tomatoes sauce, asparagus and buckwheat
I can't get enough of creamy, tangy sauces right now. Indulgent and tasty, and although protein dish, there are still loads of nutritious goodies in there.
Snack 2
Pumpkin creamy soup with seeds
Pumpkin is high in dietary fibre which helps keep you fuller as well as being low in calories; a perfect combination to help us shed those extra pounds. Pumpkins are full of Vitamin A which is great for our eyesight. As well as supporting vision, Vitamin A helps the immune system and promotes healthy looking skin too!
Dinner
Spinach tagliatelle with goat cheese and cranberries
I love spinach salad and make it all the time using different kinds of ingredients like pasta, healthy carbohydrates, goat cheese, and dried cranberries.
This is a perfect evening meal for any months when we all need vitamins and nutrition. It has lots of good and healthy fats.
