Helping Kids Eat (or Drink) Their Veggies – with Global Gardens Group
It's almost back to school time – a perfect opportunity to make sure your kids have healthy and wholesome food and beverage choices. Introducing healthy habits early on increases the chances that your child will maintain their health into adulthood, and helps ward off the alarming side effects of being overweight. As child obesity rates continue to rise, more kids are struggling with diabetes, a disease once only seen in adults. Desiree Nielsen, a Registered Dietician, joins The Balancing Act to offer helpful tips. For starters, she suggests incorporating a plant-based diet – consisting of fruits, vegetables, nuts, beans and whole grains. She also introduces Veggemo - the first non-dairy milk to originate from veggies. Veggemo is dairy and lactose free, cholesterol free, gluten free, soy free, nut free, non-GMO and vegan friendly. It's perfect for kids with food allergies or those who are lactose intolerant. And Veggemo provides the same level of calcium and Vitamin D as milk, while acting as a better source of Vitamin B12. Tune in to learn more about Veggemo and how you can incorporate it into various drinks and meals the whole family will love. Go to www.veggemo.com to learn more.
