Healthy Kids (The New Glucose Revolution)

It is not always easy to know what foods are best for your child, but this book can provide the answers. An invaluable guide, it explains how children can benefit from the glycemic index (GI). Years of research have shown that low GI foods are an essential foundation for children's future health and wellbeing, helping to prevent the health problems today's children face, like obesity and diabetes. Low GI foods also provide the sustained energy children need for play, for study, and simply to get through their active day. As well as the numerous health benefits, this book shows you how easy low GI diets are to incorporate into your child's life and provides a wealth of practical information, including: 7-day meal plans, lunch box ideas, food ideas for the pantry fridge and freezer, ways to encourage children to eat, and special needs for sporty kids, overweight kids, and fussy eaters.
