Every parent want that their kids should be healthy and fit so they try to make them eat healthy as much as possible adding more best ways as per them but still you are going wrong. Here are top 5 things that every parent should stop doing with their kid’s

1. Say ‘No’ to breakfast which comes out of the package

In this hustle & bustle life without hiding & excuses many parents do give their kids packed breakfast which claims that they are healthy and nutritious. Think for a minute! how any thing that comes out of the package having shelf life of more than a month can be healthy & intact with all good nutrition? In fact, they are loaded with preservatives, emulsifiers, corn syrups for which we pay so much money thinking they are safe for our kids. This means we are feeding our kids a kind of slow poison.

Correction – Give them freshly prepared home-made breakfast as its their growing phase. You can give them paratha with curds, vegetable upma or poha sprinkle sprouts over it, varities of sandwiches, idlis or dosa with sambhar, 1 glass of milk with handful of dry fruits.  To view healthier recipes, click here
