If you want your kids to make healthier food choices, have them watch more television -- certain cooking shows, anyway.
A recent study published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior found that children who watched a cooking program that featured healthy foods were more than twice as likely to choose them for a snack than children who watched a cooking show featuring unhealthy foods. "If you promote healthy foods to children, it can be beneficial to improve their intake," said Dr.
Studies have shown that dietary intake patterns of young people do not meet international dietary standards. This can have negative effects on several health and wellness indicators, such as maintenance of healthy weight, growth and development patterns and dental health. But by nurturing your child with knowledge about healthy food habits and behaviors, you can help them pave the way to good health and well being in their adult life.
