meal time
We all seem to be busy these days, and in our hectic modern lives we often don't make time for meals.
Rushing, making do and eating on the go all lead to unhealthier eating habits like snacking, eating fast food, TV meals, fussy eating and so on. Skipping meals is also not good for children as they may miss out on essential nutrients.
That’s why making time for regular meals is important, and its easier to stop kids pestering for snacks if they know when their next meal is coming.
It's up to you how you do this to fit with your family and lifestyle, but sticking to regular meal times really helps. Sitting down to eat together is not only a great way to be more healthy, but also gives everyone a chance to have a chat about what’s going on with them.
Check out the great healthy recipes for breakfast, lunch and dinner on the National Change4Life website.
