Mealtime and Your Underweight Child

If you're like me then you're searching for ways to get good nutritious food in your kids' belly but also finding ways to give them enough calories. Remember that as parents you are responsible for what is offered and where and when it is presented. You are also responsible for providing a safe and enjoyable environment during meal times. Children on the other hand are responsible for deciding how much food they will eat and whether they will eat at all. Make sure you: 1. Offer variety of nutritious foods. 2. Offer foods that are safe. 3. Offer serving sizes that are appropriate. 4. Eat meals at the table. 5. Eat at regular times. 6. Serve as good role models when choosing foods to eat. 7. Don't pressure or bribe the child to eat. 8. Avoid arguing or negative behaviors during meals. Children should be eating at least three meals a day with two snacks. I've had parents think their child was "always eating" but when you broke it down they weren't eating a lot of calories. They were snacking on rice cakes and grapes. I had one mom say that she thought carbohydrates were bad for her child and tried to limit them. Contrary to the adult diet kids actually need a lot of carbohydrates. Because kids are little and not eating a lot they need to have nutrient dense foods as well as energy dense foods. A food is nutrient dense if the vitamin and mineral content is more than its energy or calorie content such as lean meats, beans, oranges, carrots, broccoli, whole-wheat bread, and whole-grain breakfast cereals. Energy dense foods contribute more calories than they do nutrients such as chips, sodas, cookies and ice cream. Remember to balance healthy nutrient dense foods with energy dense foods. rR6mhiph

Health Tips for Kids

With winters come flue, cough, fever, and all those nasty diseases. All the winter fun is ruined when your kids are sick. There are multiple reasons why children are more vulnerable to get ill quicker than adults and one of those is their weak immune system. Children, especially toddlers and pre-school aged are sensitive and need additional care. Here, in this post, I am going to tell you five ways to protect your kids in winters. 1. Give them Enough Sleep When winters come, kids get excited and become hyperactive. They just want to go out and play in the snow or with school playground equipment. Just like other seasons, your little ones need the right amount of sleep in winters as well in order to stay healthy. What is more, our bodies inevitably need more sleep when days become shorter and nights get longer. However, children need it more than adults, so make them sleep enough during winters. 2. Keep them Hydrated Kids usually don't feel thirsty during winters, but their bodie...

Need to Know About A Herniated Disc

The herniated disc affection is a disorder that happens when a part of the intervertebral disc breaks and the nerve roots are being either fragmented or compressed. The spinal cord in its vicinity can also be affected inside the spinal canal. To understand better the concept of a herniated disc, you need to learn more about how the entire spine is built. The vertebral column, also called the backbone, is composed of several vertebrae which include the intervertebral discs. The role of these discs is to give the column the required elasticity and, ultimately, to move the body in all the ways needed (flexion, straightening, bending laterally etc.). These intervertebral discs have a nucleus that is formed by gelatinous proteins that give them the aforementioned elasticity. The nucleus is surrounded by a fibrous ring that is capable of fixing the nucleus in place and gives stability to the intervertebral disc itself. One very important thing that anyone should know is that the interverteb...
