STTA – Something to Think About
What is the quality of the food that your child is eating during childcare hours and at home?
Eating a balanced diet early can help babies develop a positive attitude towards food, recognize hunger and fullness cues, and build a strong foundation for healthy eating. Ensuring babies get the right nutrition helps them grow and develop properly and sets the stage for lifelong healthy eating habits. (https://www.all4kids.org/…/importance-of-good…/
Over time, processed foods, such as ready meals, baked goods, and processed meats, can have negative health effects. Consuming highly or heavily processed foods can lead to weight gain, increase the risk of type 2 diabetes, and more. https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/318630#sugar
In our country it is nearly impossible to eat perfect foods, 100% of the time. But, we can set our own family standards and then look for childcare environments that support them.
And that’s something for YOU to think about!
