It is well known that a lot of hard work has to be done to get healthy food in the stomach of children. Children often shy away from eating. Their preferences are also different. When it comes to packing a healthy and nutritious lunch box for kids, you must be extra careful while giving them tiffin. There are many options, including bread jam, which we give to children in containers. But these foods are not unhealthy. There are many food items that don't qualify as healthy lunchboxes for kids.
You too can take care of your child's health by avoiding these foods. In this article, we will learn about the food items that should be avoided in the lunch box of children.
Maggi or Noodles
If you are packing a child's tiffin for school, do not put noodles or Maggi in the lunch box. Both these things made of white flour are not at all beneficial for the health of the children. There is a gap of 4 hours between breakfast and lunch, during which children feel very hungry. Of course, Maggi can satisfy your child's hunger for some time, but it makes the child hungry again and again and it is not good for health. At such times you can give them dry fruits, or cut fruits as a snack.
Stale food
Many times parents put the leftover vegetables or vegetables in the children's tiffin box. But when the afternoon comes, the taste of those foods deteriorates, but the nutritional value also decreases. Apart from this, there is also the fear of spoiling the food. This can also cause food poisoning in children. Be it children or adults, anyone should avoid eating stale food.
Fried food
Too much-fried food is also injurious to health. Unhealthy fats are found in foods such as french fries, potato chips, bhaji, and fried chicken nuggets. Therefore, children are prone to weight gain and cholesterol. Instead, get used to baking, grilling, or steaming foods. Also, avoid giving processed food to children.
