Ajak Anak Santap Makanan Sehat Sejak Dini

Ada beberapa hal yang bisa dilakukan oleh para orangtua untuk menanamkan pentingnya gizi sejak usia dini. Berikut beberapa langkah di antaranya :

-Ajarkan mengonsumsi makanan sehat sejak dini

Sejak ibu hamil, upayakan untuk menyantap makanan bergizi karena berpengaruh pada kesejahteraan janin. Kemudian, setelah ia lahir, upayakan untuk memberikan ASI eksklusif hingga usia 6 bulan. Pada usia selanjutnya, pastikan kita membuat makanan sendiri untuk si kecil. Hindari menggunakan bahan pengawet atau pewarna.

-Ajak anak mengonsumsi makanan bervariasi 

Buat daftar makanan yang disukai anak, pun buat menu yang perlu dicoba agar suka. Misal, bila ada sayur atau buah yang tak disukai, kita bisa coba mencari cara mengolahnya sehingga ia dapat menyukai makanan tersebut.
Minta ia memilh dua warna buah atau sayuran di piringnya setiap kali makan. Agar tak monoton, pastikan makanan beraneka warna, buah-buahan dan sayuran yang berwarna-warni, seperti hijau dari sayur, kuning dari jagung, serta putih, kuning, dan merah dari buah-buahan.

-Ajak anak menyiapkan makanan 

Bila anak sudah lebih besar, libatkan ia dalam ragam aktivitas, misalnya mengajak ia ke pasar membeli bahan pangan, bagaimana mencuci atau mengupas, hingga ajak ia untuk mempersiapkan meja makan dan menghidangkan atau menyusun makanan. Ajak si koki kecil bagaimana memasak yang sehat, misal mengajari menggunakan oven untuk mengukus atau merebus.

-Belajar warna makanan 

Saat makan bersama, kenalkan pula pada anak-anak tentang warna makanan beserta manfaatnya. Misalnya, wortel berwarna oranye kaya akan kandungan Vitamin A dan bermanfaat dalam menyehatkan penglihatan dan seterusnya.

Warna hijau pada brokoli mengandung beragam vitamin dan antioksidan yang berguna untuk mencegah penyakit seperti kanker. Demikian pula dengan warna merah dan kuning pada semangka merupakan lycopene, salah satu komponen karotenoid sama halnya dengan betakaroten yang bermanfaat sebagai antioksidan.

If you are boiling pasta, make sure that you do not put too much in the pot. This will not cook your food all the way through and will taste very raw and thick. Try to limit the amount of pasta that you put in the pot to maximize taste and quality.

Excellent Ideas That Will Bring You The Best Coffee

Is there another drink as recognizable as coffee? People love the taste of coffee so much that they put it in ice cream, and they created a cake just to eat with it! There are a lot of varieties of coffee, but all of them taste wonderful. Here are some tips to help you enjoy coffee even more!

It is very important to properly clean your coffee making equipment. If you do not clean the equipment frequently, the taste of your coffee may suffer. You do not have to clean the equipment fully after ever use, but if you start to notice a slight odor or buildup of any kind, it should be fully cleaned.

Rinse off your coffee filter before placing it inside of the coffee maker. The coffee filters may have fibers or plastic on them when you take them out of the plastic packaging. If you leave these items on the filter, they will end up in your coffee when it brews.

Make sure that you always refrain from putting coffee beans in the freezer or refrigerator. When these beans are placed in areas that contain food, it will absorb the smells of the food and take away from the coffee taste. This will ruin the quality of your coffee, as you should always separate beans from other nourishments.

If you are living alone, or are the only one in your family who drinks coffee, consider purchasing a single-serve coffee maker. Companies such as Keurig have created coffee makers that use a coffee pod, a single serving of coffee grounds in a small container that fits inside the machine. This type of coffee maker is also useful if you like to drink a different flavor of coffee each day.

The best coffee makers actually extract the essence of the bean. Drip coffee makers do not do this. Find an inexpensive French press and taste the difference. A French press will extract the oils from the bean and put them in your cup as opposed to a drip coffee maker which will leave them in the filter.

The information in this article is here to help you try things you may not have tried before, as well as to provide you with information you need to maximize your enjoyment of coffee. Hopefully the tips will help you to create coffee that is better than any you have had!

Try These Juicing Tips For Great Beverages

There are few things you can do, which are more healthy for your body than juicing daily is. The juice naturally hydrates your body. It also supplies you with essential vitamins, EFAs, fatty acids, carbs and proteins to help you function at your peak. Read these tips to help make juicing easier.

Remove pits and seeds from your fruits before juicing them. Hard pits, like those found in peaches, will leave unpleasant chunks in your juice and can damage the blades of your juicer. Other seeds, such as apple seeds, may actually contain chemicals that are harmful. It's best to remove them beforehand.

Use cucumber as a great flavor disguiser when you are juicing greens. Cucumber is excellent at masking the strong flavors inherent in greens. A juice's health benefits aren't going to do you much good if you can't stand to drink it. Cucumber also has the extra added benefit of being chockfull of important vitamins and nutrients itself.

Keep a fresh stock of cut and washed fruits and vegetables on hand at all times. If you have to run to the store every time you want to make juice, you'll never use that juicer. By having the fruits and vegetables on hand and ready to use, you will make juicing quick and convenient.

The best place to find the freshest produce for juicing at great prices is at a local farmer's market. Often, they are held once a week during the summer and fall months, and you'll find everything sold on a farm, including meat, eggs, dairy, baked goods, canned goods, and TONS of fresh fruit and vegetables!

When juicing leafy vegetables like spinach, ball the leaves together. If you form your vegetable leafs into a ball, like crumpled paper for instance, you will give a more solid mass for the juicer to work with. This will prevent small pieces of leaves from showing up in your juice and affecting the consistency.

Some items just aren't made for the juicer, especially if they're soft and mushy. For example, you'll never be able to make a juice that is mostly banana, but you CAN put a half of a banana in a juice made with other firmer produce. Peaches tend to give the same result.

Making fresh juice daily is doing your body a big favor. Not only does it taste great, but it has key enzymes, chlorophyll, flavonoids and carotenes. The health benefits, alone, are enough reason to add juicing to your life every day. The ideas shared in this article will help you to do just that.
