What's delicious, fun to eat, high in
nutrients and comes in it's own disposable package? The banana of
course, and parents all across the nation are discovering the benefits
of this delectable delight!
Bananas are pleasing not only to children's sometimes finicky palates,
but also to parents who want their children to develop healthy eating
habits at a young age.
Every child needs a high proportion of essential vitamins and minerals
in their diet. According to the International Banana Association,
bananas include potassium, magnesium, phosphorous, copper, iodine, and
vitamins B1, B2, B6, C, niacin and folate. The sugars found in bananas
give a gradual sustained source of energy that is extremely important
for the fast-paced lives of children.
Bananas at breakfast or in their lunch are great ways to help your kids
get the recommended 5 servings of fruits and vegetables a day. They also
make a great mid-day snack for those children (and parents) who need an
energy boost.
