Great exchanges last night! Check out my associate @NaturalChildDev founder Lucy Stephens for guest blogs on my site @RevaClinic#ncdchat https://t.co/zSIh5FCPj8
@KarenNapleton @beejiebob@NaturalChildDev@AWolstenhulme All of them! And bitter flavours important too..they're harder ones to get used to for evolutionary reasons. Fermented foods can add sour
@KarenNapleton @NaturalChildDev@AWolstenhulme Totally. We are the models. Grow your own, pick your own. Don't demonise any foods in front of children, some are just everyday, some treats
@LizPeacock83 Make them healthier!talk about the difference in feeling.Icecream is seasy in a blender (freeze fruit&add milk).Or small bit of higher %choc
@KarenNapleton Yeah can happen. Kids can still do that anyway but talking about how some foods are better for our bodies than others starts a conversation
@LizPeacock83 Yep-it's the way we frame it too.Healthy icecream (cashew cream& frozen banana)'doesn't this make our body feel good? A nice treat' #NCDchat
@KarenNapleton We have to remember the culture we live in&give children the tools to manage treats. Talk about them like other food 'choc is a yummy treat'
@KarenNapleton @NaturalChildDev@AWolstenhulme Family meals are such an important part of learning too - research shows they impact emotional, cognitive and academic health! #NCDChat
