Being a mom to three growing boys is an adventure in itself. I am positive that they eat more than I do as a running mom… even as a breastfeeding running mom! These boys are always eating. This mom is always trying to find new and healthy treats, snacks and meals to fuel their growing (always hungry) bodies.
This is where I get excited to share with you a new book by Tyndale that focuses solely on family nutrition. Because parenting isn’t always easy… and nutrition nowadays is a huge topic of interest.
The Busy Mom’s Guide to Family Nutrition has lots of topics on nutrition ranging from weight loss plans for YOU (parents) as well as for your children (if they are overweight). The book includes ways to get your family to eat healthy food – to get out of the processed (junk) food rut!
Like most healthy lifestyle books, this nutrition guide shares basic principles to eating well (p41). These basic principles include:
* Do not eat too much
* Go easy on the added sugars
* Gravitate toward whole-grain foods, rather than those made from refined processed foods.
* Eat lots of veggies & fruits
* Choose your source of fat and protein wisely
* Learn to read nutrition labels
With almost everything you need to know to care for your family available on the Internet or at the library these days, how do you sort through the wealth of information available? How do you narrow down your web search? And how many pages are in that reference guide? It can be overwhelming to look for specific information. The information you need is at your fingertips in the practical and easy-to-use “Busy Mom’s Guide” series.
Using a question-and-answer format, Busy Mom’s Guide to Family Nutrition provides bite-sized pieces of information, including nutritional basics, the skinny on fats, interpreting food labels, exploring popular diet plans, and much more. Improve your family’s health quotient with the quick reference material found inside, and enjoy your healthy family!
