Health and Nutrition

Archive for the ‘kids nutrition’ Category

Hi,
My daughter is 3 yrs old. I know for adults they say whole wheat bread is better.
However, for some reason I have a feeling for kids white bread or rye has advantages too. I guess it’s easier to digest for kids or something. Do you agree?
Also, specifically any thought ton the “Wonder” brand – Enriched White Bread with 8 or 13 Essential Nutrients (Vitamins)? THANKS.

Whole wheat or rye. Kids might not like rye bread at first–it’s an acquired taste. My dad always bought rye bread, and I found that I really liked it toasted. Try it that way first. I’d stick with the natural, whole grain bread whenever possible. Wonder Bread has been processed so much that they need to add nutrients to replace everything lost in processing. Why not feed a kid (and yourself) something that still has the natural nutrients?

Getting kids to eat healthy can be a struggle sometimes. But, as Kimberly Van Scoy reports, a local program is getting them excited about nutrition.
