When you're a parent, it's important to make the best choices for your kids, to feed the the best food you can and make sure they're getting enough exercise. eDiets has come up with a list of must-have foods for your kids -- that is, these are the top ten foods that you should be feeding your kids on a regular basis:
  • Oatmeal - fibre, zinc, calcium -- oatmeal is an almost perfect food and you can add fruit to make it tasty for little appetites
  • Eggs - they are a great source of protein
  • Nuts - nut butter is okay, but the more natural the better
  • Yogurt - it's easier to digest than milk and is tastier too
  • Melons - They're yummy and full of vitamin C
  • Broccoli - it's full of calcium and other nutrients
  • Sweet Potatoes - they have beta-carotene and lots of fiber
  • Protein - it's important for growing bodies, so get it in where you can
  • Whole grains - teach them healthy habits for like by giving them whole grains in their formative years
