Reduce Your Sodium Intake!
According to the USDA: " Reduce daily sodium intake to less than 2,300 milligrams (mg) and further reduce intake to 1,500 mg among persons who are 51 and older and those of any age who are African American or have hypertension, diabetes, or chronic kidney disease. The 1,500 mg recommendation applies to about half of the U.S. population, including children, and the majority of adults."

Read nutrition labels
Look for added sugar, sodium, and key vitamin content. Prepared foods can contain an absurd amount of preservatives and sodium.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Don't assume that "100% organic" or "all natural" means the food is healthy. Check labels per tip #1 above.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Involve your children in your grocery shopping; teach them how to pick healthy foods.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Instead of tricking your kids into eating vegetables, try engaging them. Start by making foods they love a bit healthier by adding vegetables. Healthy and yummy do go together!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Be persistent. It is absolutely normal for kids to be wary of change (especially if they are very picky eaters). Keep introducing healthy food, eventually kids do try new things!
|
|
|
|
|
|
Bonus Tip: Be a healthy-eating role model. You can't expect your kids to eat well if you don't. If the changes you are making are framed as something you are doing as a family instead of what you are making the kids do, you will get more buy-in.
