Moreover, healthy nutrition plays a role in disease prevention. Than 100 percent of the caloric needs of children, 55 percent of them should come from carbohydrates (rice, bread, noodles). While the fat (oil, butter) accounted for 30 percent and 15 percent obtained from protein (meat, eggs, milk, peanuts).
According to Dr. Dr. Saptawati Bardosono MSc, as early as possible parents should start introducing healthy food to children. Among them by choosing foods that are low in calories and low in fat. Keep in mind, one gram of fat provides twice the calories than carbohydrates. Sugary drinks like soft drinks or syrups are very popular kids, you should start your limit.
"Healthier eating fresh fruit, the sweetness of the fruit obtained directly," said Saptawati.
In addition, choose milk that contains no added sugar. World Health Organization WHO already recommends that sugar intake is less than 10 percent. Well, because children still do not know the taste, meet him on a wide range of flavors, both of vegetables and fruits. Make baked, boiled, or steamed rather than fried.
"Introduce healthy foods is important. As the shadow of the nutritional status of children aged three to six years obesity rates have reached 20 percent in Jakarta this year, "said Saptawati.
Not only introducing healthy food, teaches healthy eating for children is also beneficial, ie, eating is governed by hunger and stop before full. Parents giving children regular meals, give interlude snack two hours before the main meal, and Balance the food intake with physical activity.
Teach your child to eat slowly and chew properly. Do not get used to eating in front of the television. Instead, make mealtime as a moment of gathering with family and told everyday that passed. And most importantly, do not let children skip breakfast.
"When we fast asleep, blood sugar goes down, so energy must be obtained to recover the body," said Saptawati.
