The Benefits of Healthy Eating We all know the benefits of healthy eating. It is a fact that children who eat a regular, healthy breakfast perform better at school. But they dont like being told when or what to eat. Similarly, they will say they are hungry between meals when they are tired, unhappy or just bored; this being the start of an unhealthy routine and getting fat. If you have a healthy and balanced diet you will have a better life. It is not only important being fit, but also being healthy. Experts explain how to get better eating habits and family harmony. They suggest parents to make their children participate in planning and preparing meals. The television should be turned off to encourage conversation, which should focus on discussion rather than criticism. Between meals, children should identify exactly how they feel; if they are not interested in fruit or vegetables, they are not really hungry at all. Also, parents should explain them that the more junk food they eat, the worse they will feel.
