Keep Your Children Eating Healthy EVEN on a Busy Day! (and get something Free!)

As game consoles and television replace tag and football as the favorite pastimes of our children, healthy eating is becoming more of an issue than ever before.

The rate of obesity in children is rising dramatically, leading to serious problems like diabetes, heart trouble, sleep apnea, and cancer at earlier ages.

Where adult-onset Diabetes was rarely seen in children a decade ago, it is a common occurrence today.

Even worse, the habits learned in childhood stay with our children throughout their entire lives. Overweightchildren are much more likely to grow into obese adults.

Another important consideration is ensuring that our children have a balanced diet, full of the vitamins and minerals that their bodies need to grow.

If the right nutrients are lacking in the diet, children can be listless, have trouble concentrating, and get sick more easily.

At the same time, every parent knows how hard it can be to coax their children to eat healthy foods. When children turn up their noses at vegetables and low-fat, low-flavor foods, it becomes so much easier to grab a bag of chips or dinner at a fast food restaurant, leaving healthy eating by the wayside.

Healthy eating doesn't have to be a chore for your children. By thinking of eating healthier as an adventure rather than as a diet, finding foods that are fun and tasty for kids as well as being satisfying and nutrient-rich,and letting your children participate in selecting and preparing their own meals, you can make healthy eating exciting.

To get you started, Healthy Eating for Children includes ideas for snacks, meals, desserts, and drinks that are not only healthy but also fun, and delicious. Your child will look forward to healthy eating instead of rebelling against it. We've included recipes that are bright and flavorful, while including a wide variety of ingredients that are packed full of essential vitamins and minerals.

Bacon and Egg Salad
Bacon and Eggs take on a healthy twist in this tasty salad that will make kids enjoy eating their fresh greens.

Poaching the egg and microwaving the bacon reduces calories from frying. Choose a salad mix that includes dark green leafy greens like spinach and romaine lettuce to increase nutrients and flavor.

Ingredients:
1 to 2 handfuls mixed salad greens
1 teaspoon chopped shallots or onions
2 strips of bacon
1 egg, poached
1 slice of French or Italian bread
Oil and vinegar salad dressing

Directions:
1. Tear salad greens into bite-sized pieces. Arrange in a shallow bowl.
2. Sprinkle with shallots or onions
3. Microwave (or fry in low-fat cooking spray) bacon strips until done. Place strips on top of salad greens.
4. Toast bread slice with a touch of low-fat butter or olive oil. Cut into small cubes. Sprinkle on top of salad.
5. Poach egg. Place on top of salad.
6. Drizzle dressing over salad and serve warm.
