At this time, children spend more time at home, away from school canteens, which usually promote fast food meals, with increased fat and reduced nutritional value. At the same time, the summer weather allows the limitation of sedentary life and the increase of sports

As parents in the summer we must take advantage of what nature provides us and pass proper nutrition messages to our children that will last all year. Specifically, in order to promote good eating habits in children, we should faithfully follow the following tips:


1) Increase consumption of fresh fruits and vegetables

Fruits and vegetables are rich in vitamins, minerals and trace elements as well as antioxidants that prevent arteriosclerosis and early aging, promote the growth and good functioning of tissues, skin and eyes. Antioxidant substances also neutralize free radicals that arise from solar radiation. Fruits and vegetables contain a large amount of fiber and prevent constipation, obesity, hypercholesterolemia and colon cancer.



2) Wash all fruits and vegetables well

It is important to wash fruits and vegetables to remove toxic substances (insecticides) that cause acute and chronic intestinal infections.


3) Consumption of homemade soft drinks

In the summer, the increased consumption of fluids is required for better hydration due to the increased temperature. Ready-made fruit juices contain a large amount of fructose, raise the glycemic index and lead to an oversecretion of insulin, increasing the deposition of fat in the body.

Homemade drinks like the refreshing BeeBros smoothie are a better choice. See the recipe here


4) Do not skip meals from the child

Often at the beach children follow the parents' schedule which includes prolonged exposure to the sun, prolonged fasting due to frequent swimming and an early afternoon meal in the tavern. This is a wrong practice because children skip two to three meals from their daily diet, thus taking in fewer calories than needed for their development.A proper diet should be low in fat and sugar, and should consist of dairy, meat, vegetables, fruit, and cereals or grains.

BeeBros are the perfect all day meals and snacks that are sugar free,GMO,palm oil free and high in fiber. See them all here 



5) Promote sports with favourite summer sports such as swimming and water sports

Sports help reduce obesity and improve a child's self-esteem and discipline.

Together with children, now is an opportunity in summer to promote a more appropriate diet, with the ultimate goal of a lifetime.

With these and especially with a lot of appetite and fun we will have a wonderful summer!!!!
