A Day at the Beach: Safety Tips for Picnic Lunches (with Recipe Ideas, Too!)
I love to eat on the beach. Whether its a simple picnic at high noon or cocktails and finger foods watching the sunset, dining al fresco is restorative for me.In Italian, al fresco means in the fresh. Translated into English, it means outdoors, and preparing a picnic lunch to enjoy outside doesnt have to involve lots of work. With some thought and planning, it can be easy and fun.
Prepared Diet Foods
It can be a challenge for people who are on a diet to prepare meals and snacks that are healthy, filling, and nutritious and will still help them lose weight. Many nutritionists suggest following meal plans for weight loss, low-calorie, low-fat, or low-carb diets, but following these plans exactly can become repetitive and tiring, and they don’t allow for much creativity in the kitchen. However, it’s possible to make your own meals and snacks while still staying true to your diet.
Creative Toddler Snacks
Make creative toddler snacks that keep his imagination soaring and his body healthy. Healthy snacks can be assembled at home, with ingredients you already have on hand. Combine foods in interesting ways and build snacks into familiar shapes or activities, including a picnic. Toddlers can eat 1,000 to 1,400 calories per day, according to the Nemours Foundation. Making the snacks both healthy and playful will help toddlers get the nutrition they need, and have fun while eating them.
Healthy Eating Tips for Kids
Getting your kids to eat healthy is one of the biggest challenges parents face. In today’s busy world, it’s tempting to drive by a window and pick up a greasy meal in a box (with a free toy!), but that’s not a great way to teach your child about eating healthy. According to the Mayo Clinic, a 4- to 8-year-old will need to consume 1,200 to 2,000 calories a day (depending on age and sex), and childhood obesity is reaching epidemic proportions. Give your kids a head start to a healthy lifestyle by teaching them to choose the right foods.
Diet Recipes for Kids
Some parents take the eating habits of their children for granted due to lack of time and thinking that their kids are still young so they can eat whatever they want. This philosophy is one of the reasons why more and more kids become obese at an early age, making it harder for them to lose weight as time goes by. It is important for children to start eating healthfully at a young age in order for them to develop a healthy eating habit that they can follow as they grow older.
