Kids today are trapped with marketing everywhere they go

How to convince children to have healthy and nutritious diet is matter of discussion among the parents. Keeping up with what child needs, what they do not need, and what they are actually eating can be difficult. There are various apps and media are available to help the children as well as parents. Yum Yum Kids is a New Zealand owned website that was started in the autumn of 2008 by Saraid Black and Monique Rosie. They have compiled a range of articles to provide relevant and practical information that will find genuinely useful for the purpose. The recipe section that is new for Yum Yum kids are very helpful to learn different recipes everyday.
Obesity in childhood places children and youth at risk for becoming obese as adults and associated poor health such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and some forms of cancer . Most of the food advertisements are for fast foods, breakfast cereals, snacks and candies that are high in sugar, salt and fat and nutritionally inadequate. The study found that parents and guardians need better nutrition guidance to help young children develop healthy eating habits from 12 months upwards. Food for kids media gives children and families the knowledge and skill they need to make healthy choice for diet and calculates the appropriate dietary needs for children based on factors, such as the child’s date of birth, weight, height, gender and activity levels.
