Healthy Eating for Life for Children
By Amy Lanou, Ph.D.

Nourishing growing children is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The foods we eat during pregnancy affect not only our child's development, but his or her health later in life. And the tastes babies learn early on will influence which foods they pull from the refrigerator as teenagers or pick from a menu in adulthood.

Children who learn to enjoy healthy foods have a tremendous asset. The right foods can help them stay slim and healthy, strengthen their immunity, reduce the risk of health problems as they age, and even boost their learning ability. It's easier than many of us might imagine. Healthy cooking and eating will soon be second nature for the entire family.
