How to get your kid excited about healthy food - Spectrum News
Back to school can be a challenging time for both parents and students. Sleep and exercise are essential for a student’s success in the classroom, but a balanced diet can’t be neglected.
“With kids, they’re brains are still developing, so it’s really important that they have the building blocks of proteins, healthy fats and a source of energy like carbohydrates,” Lauren Brauer, a Registered Licensed Dietitian with Dell Children’s Hospital said.
Winton Wheeler, father of two, said his oldest daughter starts acting “a little more hyper” when she’s not eating something with variety, like fruits, vegetables to some sort of protein. This year, he says he wants his children to play a more hands on role in making their school lunches.
