We all know that vegetables are rich in many nutrients and antioxidants and, therefore, are super important for our health and well-being. While we would love everyone 1 to 101 years old to eat several servings of vegetables daily, this can be difficult for some people, especially picky eaters.

When it comes to the family table, I like to say that everyone has a different role to play. The parents and caregivers are responsible for providing their family a balanced meal for the whole family to enjoy and children of all ages are responsible for eating the amount of food they need to feel satisfied. #family #mealtime #dinner #familymeal Jobs For Teens, Caregiver

Since iron deficiency is a common issue with children that can impact their development, it is important to try to ensure iron-rich foods in their daily meals. However, ensuring that your kids are getting enough iron can seem hard when they are picky eaters or not big fans of meat. Luckily, there are many non-meat sources of iron that you can pair with foods that are rich in vitamin C, such as most fruits and vegetables, for better iron absorption. #iron #vegan #vegetarian #picky #kids Pediatric Milestones, Egg Tofu, Sources Of Iron, Picky Kids, Chickpea Pasta

There are days when life doesn't go as planned. Maybe you or your kids are sick, maybe the vegetables went bad before you got to use them, or maybe you are just exhausted. No matter the reason, sometimes it is good to just have a back-up meal option that is not only quick, but also tastes good and is still good for you. When picking a frozen meal, I recommend trying to follow these guidelines. Frozen Meals, 500 Calories, Trans Fat

As I describe in my free e-book "5 Steps to Solve Your Child's Picky Eating Problems," in my experience, picky eating tends to play out in one of two ways. One, the dinner table becomes your own personal battle field where every dinner the battle of the parents vs. the picky eaters plays out. This scenario is not ideal! In fact, it actually making picky eating worse! But there is hope, because there is a better, less stressful, more successful scenario for your family. Battle Field, Its Time To Stop

Vitamin D is often thought of as the sunshine vitamin. This is because when sunlight hits our skin, our body can covert a special type of cholesterol with an extra double bond (see not all cholesterol is bad!) into vitamin D. However, despite our ability to make vitamin D with the help of the sun, research has shown that a significant portion Americans (both infants and adults) have low levels of vitamin D. #vitamind #sunshine #eggs #vitamin #fish Whats Good, Covert, Vitamin D

If you have been to the store recently you may have seen that the vitamin C supplement aisles are looking a little bare. You may have also seen social media claims that say that vitamin C can help prevent COVID-19. Additionally, you may have read articles about how physicians and researchers are studying the effects of high dose IV vitamin C on patients with COVID-19. All of these would lead someone to believe that vitamin C is the answer to preventing COVID-19.

Therefore, I wanted to share the FDA’s currently food safety notice. “Currently there is no evidence of food or food packaging being associated with the transmission of the coronavirus. It’s important to recognize that unlike foodborne GI viruses that often make people ill through contaminated food, coronavirus is a virus that causes respiratory illness.” Read more. #foodsafety Contaminated Food
