Eating plan for toddlers

Stumble it!

An initiative to cut out young children’s bad eating habits and help combat rising obesity levels is to be rolled out in the UK. The 10-week programme will be open to all families with children aged two to four. It is not only available to those who have a weight problem.

The programme builds on the success of the Mind, Exercise, Nutrition, Do it! programme also known as MEND .

The scheme includes a weekly snack-time where parents and children are given new foods to try and parents are thought about food, food labelling and the effects of bad eating habits.

The focus of the new programme would be to encourage all children to a healthier lifestyle by educating the whole family. That way those who are most in need of the programme will have the support of their whole family.

Statistics show that 30% of UK children are now considered to be overweight or obese. The aim of this programme is to catch potential overweight candidates early and prevent possible problems.

The aim is to promote a healthy lifestyle from an early age with the full support of the whole family.
