Cereals marketed toward children have changed over the past 13 years \u2013 lacking nutrition and increasing sugar, fat, carbohydrates and sodium with a decrease in protein and fiber, according to a JAMA Network study.<\/p>\n
Dr. Stephen Cook, of Nationwide Children’s Hospital says parents need to show some tough love when it comes to handling pushback from children who want a sugary fix.<\/p>\n
Research in the study found that snacking during the day, also known as grazing, is not recommended. Children will be hungry for meals if they don’t snack on unhealthy food.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is what we’re having, and you can choose to eat it or not,\u201d said Dr. Cook, giving advice on how to get children to eat healthier foods.<\/p>\n
Nutritionists say to not buy pre-packaged foods and beverages with ingredients such as sugar, caffeine and artificial coloring. A shorter list of ingredients means a lower chance of containing signal chemicals and other junk.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cereals marketed toward children have changed over the past 13 years \u2013 lacking nutrition and increasing sugar, fat,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":150360,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4318],"tags":[64256,2770,44613,16314,64239,64238,44427,389,64253,64257,64251,8557,5205,3052,1203,27257,25096,64242,53234,64240,64241,2760,398,64249,4449,105,64243,64246,64244,64245,4348,13779,1299,60395,1867,64252,2207,64250,64255,64248,218,4434,445,64258,64254,64247,16,35125,15,6514],"class_list":{"0":"post-150359","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-nutrition","8":"tag-blythdale-childrens-hospital","9":"tag-brain-health","10":"tag-breakfast","11":"tag-child","12":"tag-child-care","13":"tag-childhood-cancer","14":"tag-childhood-obesity","15":"tag-children","16":"tag-childrens-hospital-at-montefiore","17":"tag-childrens-specialized-hospital","18":"tag-dinner","19":"tag-doctor","20":"tag-doctors","21":"tag-fast-food","22":"tag-food","23":"tag-food-allergy","24":"tag-food-and-drug-administration","25":"tag-food-dyes","26":"tag-food-insecurity","27":"tag-food-labels","28":"tag-food-pantry","29":"tag-food-poisoning","30":"tag-food-waste","31":"tag-free-lunches","32":"tag-gut-health","33":"tag-health","34":"tag-health-access","35":"tag-health-alert","36":"tag-health-centers","37":"tag-health-risk","38":"tag-healthcare","39":"tag-healthy","40":"tag-healthy-food","41":"tag-healthy-recipes","42":"tag-hospital","43":"tag-hospital-bills","44":"tag-hospitals","45":"tag-lunch-break","46":"tag-maria-fareri-childrens-hospital","47":"tag-meal-prep","48":"tag-mental-health","49":"tag-nutrition","50":"tag-obesity","51":"tag-pediatric-cancer","52":"tag-robert-wood-johnsons-childrens-hospital","53":"tag-school-meals","54":"tag-uk","55":"tag-ultra-processed-food","56":"tag-united-kingdom","57":"tag-whole-foods"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150359","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=150359"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/150359\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/150360"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=150359"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=150359"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=150359"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
