[Kaumi Sharma]

Healthy eating habits are imbibed from a young age. When Kids are given healthy food choices from a young age, they imbibe healthy eating habits. As a parent we have to encourage healthy eating habits. We can do this by providing them with healthy options. Healthy snack ideas and healthy menu will keep the kids satiated and they will be happy and active. Once in a while junk should be allowed. If parents have healthy eating habits then it would be easier for the kids to follow the same. So parents should have fresh fruits and vegetables daily

[Barkha Ghose]

For a healthy body, we must have fruits and green leafy vegetables daily. Fresh fruits and vegetables provide antioxidants and many minerals and vitamins that are required for normal functioning of the body. These provide micronutrients that are not found in other food groups. In addition to these, there should be intake of dairy products as they help in muscle and bone growth. Nuts should also be included in daily diet along with carbohydrates, fats and protein.
