 8 Best Healthy lifestyle Tips for child 

 1. Eat well, it's fun ... enjoy your meals

Dining with your family at home or with friends at school is a good way to enjoy your meals. It is interesting to observe what others eat: what's on their plates? Do you try to vary your food every day? Look at your plate: how many different fruits and vegetables do you see?

2. Breakfast is a very important meal

Just like cars, buses and trains that can not run without fuel, our bodies need energy to operate. Especially after a night's sleep, when our energy reserves are low. So, whether it's a day of school or rest, start your day with a good breakfast. A good dose of carbohydrates is exactly what you need; try a toast or slice of bread, or cereal with milk, fruit or yogurt.

3. Varies food every day. The secret of good health: a varied diet

To be healthy, you must consume more than 40 nutrients (such as vitamins and minerals) each day. No food contains them all; It is therefore very important to vary your diet daily. There are no good or bad foods; you do not have to deprive yourself of what you love. The best way to have a balanced diet is to have a varied diet throughout the day.

4. The best source of energy? Take the carbs

Generally, we do not eat enough carbohydrates like cereals, rice, pasta, potatoes and bread. Carbohydrates should give you about half the calories you need each day and it's important to include at least one carbohydrate at every meal. Try bread, pasta and cereals for extra fiber. Have you ever tried to make bread? It's fun and it feels wonderful!

5. Give me 5! Eat fruits and vegetables at every meal and when you're hungry!

It is in fruits and vegetables that we find the essential vitamins, minerals and fibers. We should all try to eat at least 5 times a day. For example, a glass of fruit juice at breakfast, two different vegetables at meals and an apple or banana to taste it. Thus, you cover the needs of vitamins, minerals and fibers of your body for the day. How many varieties of fruits and vegetables are found in your supermarket? Why not try new ones?

6. And fats? Avoid eating too much fat

Eating too much fatty foods like butter, spreads, fries and pastries, although they taste great, may not always be good for your body. So do not forget: a lot of bread, but little fat to spread like butter and margarine! Our body needs fat to have all the nutrients, but do not overdo it. So, if you had a little fat lunch, try to choose to eat less fatty foods at home.

7. Eat regularly and vary your snacks

Even when one takes his meals regularly, it happens that one has "small hollow", especially after a sporting activity. So a snack is always welcome but it should not replace a meal. It's just a little extra. There are many snacks. You can choose to eat yoghurt, a portion of fresh fruit or dried fruit, vegetable sticks such as carrots or celery, unsalted nuts, rice cakes or maybe even a slice of dried fruit bread or a cheese sandwich. Occasionally, you can go for a splash and eat chips, candy bars, a piece of cake or cookies. Whatever you prefer, do not forget that the secret of a good balanced diet is variety.

8. Quench your thirst! You have to drink a lot!

Do you know that more than half of your weight is water? Not only does our body need food but it also needs at least 5 glasses of fluid a day. To avoid dehydration, it is very important to drink and especially in hot weather or in case of intense physical activity. Do not wait until you are thirsty to drink, because your body needs water long before you are thirsty. Natural water of course, but you can try tap water or bottled mineral water, natural or slightly flavored, carbonated or non-carbonated. Juices, tea, refreshing drinks, milk, and other drinks are great too, provided you do not abuse them.
