Do you think all children will outgrow their baby fat? Think again. Children are like fish, they are insensitive to portion sizes and will tend to eat the amount of food that is in front of them. In an effort to start healthy eating habits at on early age, where 1 in 5 children (ages 2 to 5) are obese, the toddler food pyramid helps parents adequately address their child's nutrition needs and just how much they should eat. This will hopefully lead to healthier future generations.
According to a recent study, people who eat high-fiber foods, such as fruits, nuts and vegetables tend to lose weight and stay slim (no kidding!). High fiber foods help people feel full faster, longer and prevents overeating. So next time you're looking for a quick snack between lunch and dinner, grab an apple or have a handful of almonds ready for a lastingly slim waistline.
