Making sure our kids eat healthy food has, rightly so, become a national obsession and I am sure, like most parents, you want healthy lunch ideas to help your kids be motivated, full of energy and reaching their true potential.There are some really outstanding reasons for making sure our kids eat healthy and here are two of the most important..
Top 15 health tips of the week.
1. Start Your Program Off Slowly..Whatever you do, when you began a diet and exercise program, don’t enter into it full speed ahead. It’s best to take your time and allow yourself to be accustomed to the new changes. This was a HUGE mistake I made early on! I would get started with a program and go INSANE with it in the beginning… and only to lose motivation later because I couldn’t stay committed! If you take it easy, then this won’t become a problem.
2. Increase Your Metabolism..Boosting your metabolism ensures crazy fat loss and weight loss. Some of the best ways to make this happen is by ensuring you get plenty of sleep, drink lots of water, do higher intensity exercises, eating more frequently throughout the day, getting more antioxidants in your diet, and more….
3.Lunch guidance…For lunch, skip the cheese on the salad or sandwich, substitute mustard for mayonnaise, and replace potato chips with soy chips.
4.Tip to get kids.A good tip to get kids started with new food experiences is to use portion control.
ix a small amount of the new food together with something you know they like and slo
wly introduce a variety of food this way. Just remember it is OK for your little one to not like everything, I know I don’t and I am sure you are the same! For example, if try adding avocado and celery to a tuna mayo salad

5. nasty unhealthy habits.. The third tip is to quit all those nasty unhealthy habits. Smoking, drinking, drugs, chewing tobacco, whatever your vice may be quit now. You are in charge of your health and living a healthier lifestyle means getting rid of the things that may kill you.
6.Follow The Basics Of Healthy Living.No matter what it is you do, if you are not practicing the core principles of healthy living, then your results are going to be very minimal. The core principles are ensuring you get plenty of sleep every night, drinking plenty of water every day, building muscle, doing cardiovascular exercises, and of course, ensuring that you get 100% proper nutrition.
7.Most important tip ..Replace eggs and cheese with scrambled egg whites.
8. Try and prepare as much in advance…
Try and prepare as much in advance as you can. It is unlikely that you are able to come home from work and put 100% effort into your kids meals or prepare masses of food first thing in the morning. So, pick a time when you can give it your full attention and prepare a few days in advance. Some things like sauces and dips will keep for a while, so work out when is a good time for you to get your cooking mojo on! When you can cook, is also a great indication of what
type of lunches to make. If you really only have free time on the weekends for anything complicated, choose things that will keep and need very little extra preparation first thing in the morning.
9.Healthy snacks..Well first of keep healthy snacks lying around the house. Kids are natural grazers and if they do not have healthy snacks available they will sneak in unhealthy options. In fact, I would suggest that you have a cupboard cleanse and try to remove any unhealthy snacks, so the kids can’t see them and you are not tempted to “give in” at a stressed moment.
10. Don’t Do Anything Unnatural…Fad dieting, prepackaged meal plans, a
nd diet pills are not natural… and therefore… do not work.
