Healthy Eating
Food supplies us with a lot of nutrients, so as children grow and develop we must ensure to provide them with all the nutrients that are necessary for them especially in their early years. In order to provide infants with a variety of food we can ensure to provide them foods with different:
Variety of taste: encourage a child to try and taste their food. We must ensure to let the child try the food on their own never force the child.
Let them try food of different temperatures: let the child try food that is hot as well as cold. The child can try hot soups as well as food that is cold like salads. BALANCED DIET
Have a variety of texture foods: let the child try food that is fried as well as food that is liquid, or food that is gently cooked.
Variety of shapes: let the child try food with many different shapes. Try foods that are long like spaghetti or square like a slice of bread.
ECEP-133
Different colors: encourage the child to try foods that are of a variety of colors. Have a variety of colors like green, orange, white and yellow. These colored foods provide the child with ample amount of nutrients.

Try different versions of veggie: Many vegetarian foods look and sometimes even taste like the original meat dish, however they tend to be lower in saturated fat and lack cho-
lesterol. Make some small changes at restaurants: There are several restaurants that can make vegetarian modifications of needed. Usually, tofu or meatless sauces are the substitute, as well as adding beans for meat. Never hesitate to ask about these options. Nuts make great snacks: Choose unsalted nuts for snacks and use them in salads or main dishes. Good choices include almonds, walnuts, and pecans. Get your vitamin B12: Vitamin B12 is naturally derived from animal products, so vegetarians need to remember to find alternatives. Those include: cereals, soy products, and if none are preferred, try vitamin B12 supplements. Find a vegetarian pattern that suits your needs: Visit www.dietaryguidelines.gov and refer to Appendices 8 and 9 under Dietary Guidelines for Americans, 2010.
