In small quantities, sugar can even be beneficial for a child, as it supports mental activity and becomes a source of energy.
However, in rare cases, a child eats the permissible amount of sugar during the day: in the overwhelming majority of cases, a child consumes significantly more sweets than necessary.
As a result, children gain weight and develop health problems.
Simply removing sweets from the diet won’t work: any child will throw a tantrum.
How to Reduce Sugar in Children's Menus
Get rid of soda and packaged juices
Few people know that even a small can of sweet soda or store-bought juice is a source of large amounts of sugar.
Simply getting rid of these drinks can significantly improve your child's diet.
Less unhealthy baked goods and store-bought sweets
Even to make a seemingly healthy homemade pie, we use a huge amount of sugar, which is extremely dangerous for a child.
There is no need to even talk about the harm of store-bought sweets: everyone knows about it.
Variety of home cooking
Experts note that the simplest and healthiest way to get something sweet without harming your health is to eat berries and fruits.
Therefore, make sure that products of this category are always available at home.
