Equip your child with the building blocks for lasting health--not only now, but for the rest of their lives. It's no surprise that parents want their children to eat well and build healthy attitudes towards food that will last them a lifetime. So how is it that fewer than 15% of elementary school-age children get enough fruits and vegetables in their diet? With the pressures of work, family, school, and parenting, finding the time to create a balanced nutrition plan for your kids can seem impossible. Where should you even begin? The answer lies in the past--the way some of the healthiest populations in the world ate, not too long ago. The Mediterranean diet is no meal plan being advertised by diet coaches online. It finds its basis in the eating patterns that have been shown to help prevent heart attacks, obesity, diabetes, and stroke. Instead of worrying about the unpronounceable ingredients in your child's lunch box, take back your peace of mind with mealsthat you can prepare together. In 2015, 13.7 million children were obese. This number is only on the rise, and it isn't just because of all the processed foods out there. Many children grow up with no understanding of how the foods they eat affect their body, and they find themselves lost when they have to take things into their own hands. Eva Iliana has compiled not only delicious recipes that your kids will love, but she has also proven ways you can start the nutrition discussion and enable them to take an active role in their health. In Mediterranean Kids Lunch Break, you will discover: 45simple, easy-to-prepare, delicious recipes to start the day off strong and keep that momentum going Why it's so important to talk with your kids about food openly and honestly--and the danger of labeling foods as "good" or "bad" The not-so-secret reason why the Mediterranean diet is associated with longer life, healthier hearts, and clearer minds How small changes to snacking habits can create a big impact over the course of a lifetime Exactly what you'll need to keep a pantry that enables you and your family to make healthy eating easy and painless Various ways to get your child involved in the cooking process, with specific pointers for different age groups Why you don't need to give up ice cream, pasta, or burgers to adopt a healthy diet How to make the transition to a balanced, wholefood-based diet when your kids are already used to their favorite foods And much more. Changing your child's eating habits for the better doesn't have to mean spending hours poring through recipe books and trying to figure out whether those "organic" snacks are actually good for them.
