Transforming Your Child's Daily Menu Into a Healthy Feast

This article is incredibly helpful for those ready to level up their children's diet and witness a positive change in their health, weight, and more.

Let's take a look at the typical menu for kids today:

Breakfast at home: Corn or wheat cereal with cow's milk.

At school: White bread packed with various additives and preservatives, paired with cheese or chocolate spread, and a piece of fruit or a snack loaded with unnecessary ingredients during break.

Lunchtime: A meat dish, some empty carbs (pasta, etc.), and a cooked vegetable.

Afternoon: Snacking time.

Dinnertime: White bread with an omelet, cucumber or tomato, or a toasted sandwich with cheese.

This menu involves a lot of allergens (corn, cow's milk), caffeine, empty carbs, and plenty of unnecessary additives, such as monosodium glutamate. The consequences of such a diet on our children's health can include allergies, colds, worms, lack of concentration, irritability, various pains, inflammations, constipation, rashes, anemia, and more. Over time, it will likely lead to significant vitamin and mineral deficiencies, chronic illnesses, and obesity stemming from these deficiencies.

Let’s rework this menu into something more nutritious (try it for at least two weeks):

Breakfast at home: Start the day with a glass of mineral or filtered water. Homemade granola as a snack or a banana.

At school: Bread or rolls made from 70% spelt flour (homemade or bakery, make sure it's tasty) with an omelet, tahini, avocado, or a spread of halva and honey found on supermarket shelves. Add fresh veggies if they enjoy them.

A fruit during the break with almonds and walnuts.

Lunchtime (choices available):

• Soup containing both a legume and a grain.
• Mujaddara with a fresh vegetable salad or stir-fried or cooked vegetables.
• Basmati rice (or quinoa) with peas (or another cooked legume) and a raw vegetable.
• Vegetable quiche with spelt flour.
• Fish dish with cooked vegetables.
• On the holy Shabbat, celebrate with chicken or meat.

Afternoon: Fruits.

Dinnertime (choices available):

• Large salad with tahini and a medium-boiled egg, soft inside, along with a spelt or rye bun (optional).
• Healthy bread made from spelt or rye with butter, a soft scrambled omelet, and vegetables or a fresh salad.
• Oatmeal porridge with soy milk and water, or almond milk and water.

Preparing on Friday night ensures feasting on Shabbat. The habits you instill in your children at a young age will stick with them for a lifetime, sparing them from much discomfort, illness, and obesity. To health.
