Kids bouncing off the walls? Throw away junk food!

It's September, a month parents embrace and fear children. September comes with all its inherent trappings of suburban life lists, books, uniform requirements, moms taxi service, after-school activities, practices and tasks, and adults add to the workload, bills and travel. It seems as if the wheel speed of life in September and not delayed until after the holidays. Sometimes we have to slow to accelerate. That sounds contradictory right?

One of the healthiest ways to slow down is to restore the family dinner. May be required to limit the amount of after-school activities their children participate, but the rewards are great. Our children are more regular, more nourished and malnourished. Research shows that family dinner is a very important part of healthy living. When families eat together, not only reconnect at emotional level, but tend to eat more fruits and vegetables and less processed foods and fried foods. The more often children eat dinner with their families are less likely overweight.Excess weight is put at risk the future health complications, including diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure and emotional problems.

A recent Australian study published in the JOURNAL OF ATTENTION DISORDERS linked to a Western diet with a higher incidence if ADHD. "Adolescents who consume a large amount of processed and fast foods are twice as likely to be diagnosed with ADHD and healthy eating. "In all fairness the study could not determine whether the options ADHD affects food or food choices affected with ADHD. However, as parents know that when you put garbage in garbage out behavior!

September the goal of having at least two family dinners a week and stick with it. Keep your meals simple and healthy, no need to be prepared! To offer salads and crudités beginning of the meal. Encourage your children to drink low fat milk or water with food. Avoid high-calorie soft drinks or sweetened carbonated drinks. Offer fresh fruit for dessert and snacks. Fill the fridge with fresh fruits, vegetables, low fat cheese and sauces such as hummus, something healthy and easy snack for kids when they come home. Make fun! Let children help prepare meals, and choose healthy ingredients! Turn off the TV, cell phones and video games. This is family time, a valuable asset that can not be bought! There are many benefits to the family dinner, everyone eats more healthy emotional ties grow, improve skills, you and their children to talk more and there is less stress and tension at home.

Our goal as parents is to give our children the very best in life. Save for the university, encourage after-school activities and promote in all their endeavors. The only thing that is not always having enough of a diet rich in fruits and vegetables. Dr. William Sears, a pediatrician in the United States believes that many children are diagnosed with s. too many "D" ".. ADD, ADHD, ODD, OCD, PDD, DBP. He found that the more generalized "D" is DDN or Nutrition Deficit Disorder. " The best we can do for our children is to minimize children's meals and cocoa puffs and maximize nutrient dense fruit nutrition, low calorie and vegetables, whole grains and low fat proteins. Food is essential for good mental and physical health. You help your children in so many wonderful ways to make them great nutrition!
