Veggies That Kids Like

September 24, 2018 By admin

One of the toughest moments in parenting is getting kids to eat vegetables. I have witnessed so many stories.  I’ve seen children cry just because someone asked them to eat their carrots. I saw one kid fall out on the floor because someone placed produce on the plate. I have even seen children weep as they eat vegetables and confess that they like it!

I’m not too sure I understand all of the reasons for resistance, but I do know that vegetables provide the vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals, antioxidants, fiber and water to help us stay healthy.

If you can’t get your child to eat sugar snap peas, here are a few ideas to help meet the challenge. But first I must warn you, it takes tough parenting and a few clever ways to approach eating vegetables.

  1. Collect recipes or ways to season the favorites. One of the reasons why children don’t like to eat veggies is because they don’t taste good. Preparing broccoli with sesame seed oil, garlic and soy sauce can turn tastebuds into broccoli lovers.
  2. There is a better chance of getting kids to eat veggies when they are hungry. Try placing vegetables on the plate before other foods and encourage them to take a bite. A little stir-fried zucchini with tomatoes, onions and basil might win them over.
  3. Adding vegetables to their favorite dishes may go unnoticed. Cauliflower can be minced to resemble rice. Mixing this rice-like cauliflower into rice dishes with a little curry powder, protein and onions can slip past their tastebuds.
  4. If a child does not like raw spinach, try it sautéed with garlic and olive oil — in soups, or added to casseroles. The important point is to get them to try a vegetable several ways before we accept that they really don’t like it.
  5. When all else fails, try roasting root vegetables such as potatoes, carrots, and sweet potatoes; and cruciferous vegetables like Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and broccoli. Using infused olive oils, balsamic vinegars, and herbs such as basil, rosemary, and Italian seasonings make culinary delights.
  6. Take kids to the grocery store and let them pick a vegetable. When they participate in the process, they are more likely to try something new and form an opinion.
  7. Giving them a variety of fresh produce can get them eating vegetables regularly. Beets can be a tough sell, but roasted with a little olive oil brings out the sweetness, and I have seen kids eat with passion. Raw beets have that earthy flavor but shredded in a salad, it tastes great!

I have been working with kids in schools for more than 15 years and I have seen the opinions of children change when they have experienced great tasting veggies. It takes creativity, patience and a few cooking techniques to engage them. Over the years, I have been surprised to see how great tasting veggies become a part of their diet. Oh, and don’t forget to show them that you eat vegetables too!

Vitamin Supplements?

November 16, 2016 By admin

There is an adage that says that if a little is good, more must be better. This saying does not hold true for vitamins, since too much could be unsafe. Many people today are unsure as to whether or not their daily food can supply them with adequate nutrition, and so they take a vitamin pill to provide nutritional insurance.

There are some people that may need additional nutrients to ensure normal body functions and prevent nutrient deficiencies. These include pregnant women; women with excessive menstrual losses; people on severely restricted weight-loss diets; total vegetarians who don’t consume any foods containing Vitamin B12; and those with certain metabolic disorders or who are taking those medications which increase nutrient requirements. There is, however, no evidence that vitamin supplementation has any benefit for the general population that consumes a balanced diet.

Today, there is a lot of interest in natural antioxidants and the protection they afford against cancer, heart disease, and aging. Because of this, some are promoting the regular use of supplements of vitamins A, C, and E. These antioxidants can, however, be amply supplied by foods. Fruits are rich in vitamin C, whole grains and seeds contain high levels of vitamin E, and carrots and broccoli are loaded with vitamin A.

Buyer Beware

Using vitamin supplements can be unsafe. The fat-soluble vitamins A and D are especially toxic. Large doses of B6 for the treatment of PMS or carpal tunnel syndrome have produced permanent nerve damage in some persons. Kidney damage, muscle weakness, diarrhea, irritability, fatigue, undesirable changes in blood lipid levels, headache, nerve damage, and other medical problems may result from the regular use of high-strength vitamin supplements.

In spite of their widespread use, vitamin C supplements do not reduce the incidence of colds. They may, however, slightly reduce the duration of the cold and the severity of the symptoms Such benefits can be seen with as little as 250 mg/day. Higher doses do not provide any extra benefit.
