healthy food is so essential

Tips on Healthy lunch boxes🥗 Some children become very fussy about what they eat so it is so important for them to try lots of different foods, it may take time for their palates to enjoy the taste so always reintroduce foods they say they do not like 1. Let your children get involved with preparing and choosing what goes into their lunch box. Your children are more likely to eat food that they have helped to make. 🥑 2. Fuller for longer - use bread, rice or pasta trying to use whole grain where possible. Mix your slices of bread or use 50/50 to help introduce wholegrain into their diet. 🍞 3. Try to add carrot & cucumber sticks, cherry tomatoes with a dipping pot makes lunchboxes exciting and it is part of their 5 a day. 🥕 4. Add a variety of bite size fruit – this makes it easier to eat and children are more likely to try when in smaller portions. 🍓 5. Be creative in what goes into the lunchbox – change it up from day to day giving your children a chance to try new things. 🍉 Use apps like NHS Change for life food smart to scan barcodes to support you with sugar, fat and salt intake in foods you buy in the supermarkets. #support #nationallottery #hereforyou #charity #familysupport #heretolisten #advice #community #broxbourne #hertfordshire #HenrySmith #GarfieldandWeston

Healthy communities need healthy food. At Doctors Hospital, we want to help collect healthy food options because we know that for people facing hunger - it's about more than food. It's about providing wellness, nourishment, comfort, strength and peace of mind. With this food drive we are helping to stock healthy food at Golden Harvest Food Bank, supporting people facing hunger to make the best nutritional choices for themselves and their families. Please drop your food donations off at the Doctors Hospital Medical Office Building drive-through. Golden Harvest Food Bank has specifically requested these items be donated: Low sodium canned veggies No sugar added canned fruit Canned meats and seafood Nuts and nut butters Whole grain pasta and rice Whole grain cereal and oats Dried beans, peas and lentils Low sugar jam and jelly

🥗 #Healthy packed #lunches 45pc more expensive than less nutritious versions, research finds The The Food Foundation charity said items for an #unhealthy packed lunch were cheaper overall at five big supermarkets, arguing that this demonstrates the barriers #parents face when trying to feed their children a good diet. Unhealthy lunches for the #research were made up of white bread with chocolate spread instead of wholemeal with cheese; flavoured yoghurt rather than a plain, unsweetened version; and snacks such as crisps as opposed to the four portions of fruit and vegetables incorporated into the healthy lunch.

Hi friends, As some of you know, for the last few years I have been working with Edmundite Missions, based in Selma, Alabama, on a children’s picture book series: The Rumbly Tummy Adventures. The goal of this series is to improve both nutrition and literacy in Selma and other rural impoverished communities across the United States and around the world. We have even created an activity book to accompany each story to help drive home certain points about nutrition in a fun and educational way. ** All net proceeds from the sale of Rumbly Tummy Adventures books go to support the nutrition programs of Edmundite Missions, which is a privately funded non profit organization. They depend on donations to survive in order to continue the amazing work they do! I visited them last year and helped in their soup kitchen and with delivering meals to the homebound. Words cannot adequately express the mountains they are trying to move there and how much help they need to do that. Every day, they are helping hundreds of people who have so, so little. We want this project to not only bring in some revenue to help support those programs but also to actually help the young children there know that they are not forgotten in this world. There is always hope, and there is always education that can change their entire world if they have a starting point. Please help support our goals while also enjoying an entertaining story. Book 1: Rice to the Rescue! is running a free ebook promo from today through midnight on Sunday (Pacific time). You can download our book for free anytime over that period. **Please leave us an honest review on Amazon if you are willing – each and every review helps bump us up on Amazon’s algorithm so new eyes can find us too.

🥜 Many food donation centers hand out peanut butter as one of their main staples for food insecure individuals. Why? ✔️Affordable ✔️High Protein ✔️Variety of Use Thanks to leaders such as Monica Bassett of Stronghold Food Pantry, our food insecure MilVet community is able to receive donations like peanut butter. Below is another episode in my Hellman's Kitchen Budget Friendly series, which is part of the mission being led by Jordan J. Foley of Let’s Chow. The idea is to teach those receiving food donations to use those ingredients wisely, in order to stretch the food as much as possible. 👇 Watch the episode below, give the video a like, and throw in a supportive comment. This drastically helps increase the reach of this episode, which hopefully will help more people learn to cook budget friendly recipes. #militaryfoodinsecurity #militaryleadership #veteransupport #cookingrecipes
