Episode description
Ultra Processed People
Vicky and Lauren - sharing their experiences and offering insights on how to ensure children are getting enough nutrients, focusing on protein, fiber, and fat. They also discuss how children's eating behaviours can be influenced by what adults eat and suggest making some dietary adjustments based on a child’s behaviour.
One point made clear was how it is important to set boundaries around sugar and fried food consumption while still allowing for some flexibility. They share tips on incorporating more fiber into children's diets, introducing them to a variety of foods, the potential impacts of sugar, and how mealtimes should be a cheerful, stress-free experience. The hosts remind listeners that every parent does the best with the information and resources they have, and that small steps towards healthier meals can have significant impacts over time.
