When it comes to kids nutrition, parents certainly have the best intentions. But many have busy lifestyles that don’t always allow enough time for grocery shopping, meal planning or cooking. Others may not be aware of the healthiest ingredients or cooking methods and may too often rely on fatty or starchy foods as the basis for meals. Coupled with the picky eating habits that seem to be so prevalent among kids, it’s no wonder that children are often not eating as well as they should.
Age-Old Habits Younger children often have a number of foods that they refuse to eat. Children can be particular not just about how a food tastes, but about temperature and texture too.
"Setting a good example is a good first step," says Gratton. "Parents should make every attempt to demonstrate healthy eating habits with their kids, and this includes having regular meal times." He also notes that kids are more likely to eat healthy fruits and vegetables when they take part in food shopping and preparation. Winning Strategies for Kids Nutrition
Children are more inclined to eat healthy foods when they are offered frequently and regularly. Repeated exposure to vegetables, for example, is just one way to encourage your family members to try new foods. It also helps to make foods visible and available. Try keeping a bowl of fresh fruit on the kitchen counter, or put crunchy, cut-up vegetables in the refrigerator. Another approach for increasing intake of vegetables is by adding them to familiar foods. Cooked, pureed vegetables can be added to pasta sauce, for example, which boosts nutrition and reduces the overall calories in the dish. Smooth Things Over  Kids
also enjoy smoothies and products such as Herbalife’s
new line of kids shakes - designed to be mixed with
milk and provide a tasty way to help kids meet their
vitamin and mineral needs for the day as a snack or
part of a healthy meal.
A bit of protein helps to curb appetite and limit frequent snacking on less healthy items. Despite parents’ best efforts, children’s diets may still fall short in certain key nutrients.
"Look for age-appropriate products, which target the needs for the particular age of the child." (Editor’s Note: Herbalife is the Official Nutrition Advisor of AYSO (American Youth Soccer Org.)

Older kids are frequently on the run, which may mean not
only a lot of convenience items and fast foods, but
erratic mealtimes too. According to Luigi Gratton,
M.D., clinical physician at University of California,
Los Angeles, there are some tactics that parents can
take with their kids to help them eat better. 
Here
are a few ways parents can help their active children
eat healthier.
"A
daily multiple vitamin and mineral supplement can help
to round out any potential shortfalls in kids
nutrition, and
can act as a safety net," says Gratton.
