Feeding kids with lots of sugary foods is a strict no, and must be avoided at all costs. Sugary foods, treats, and drinks can cause tooth decay, weight gain, and increase the risk for type 2 diabetes.
Processed Foods
Preservatives, artificial additives, excessive sodium, and harmful fats are all found in highly processed foods. They are deficient in important nutrients and may become a cause of obesity, cardiac difficulties, and other health concerns.
Sugary Breakfast Cereals
A lot of commercial breakfast cereals targeted to kids are laden with extra sugar and artificial flavors. They can result in sharp blood sugar spikes and drops, which can induce energy slumps and may negatively affect concentration levels.
Fried Foods
Fried foods are typically rich in calories and harmful trans fats. Regular intake of these can increase the risk of heart disease, obesity, and other health issues in your child.
Soda and Drinks
Beverages such as soda, fruit juices, and flavored drinks have no nutritional value and are high in empty calories.
Artificially Colored and Flavored Snacks
Snacks with artificial flavors and colors may be visually enticing to kids, but they generally are low in nutritional value and can often cause hyperactivity and behavioral problems.
