Never
underestimate the tremendous power a mother wields, not just in shaping the
person their children will be, but also how and what they eat.
In a study conducted by
the Michigan State University's College of Nursing in the US, toddlers, it was
found, are less likely to eat fruits and vegetables if their mother didn’t eat
enough herself, or if the mother perceives the child to be a ‘picky eater’. And
when mothers think of their children as picky eaters, they are likely more lax
in encouraging the consumption of fruits and vegetables.
In other words, a mother’s
own eating habits, besides parenting style, has a huge impact on whether her
child eats healthily or not. Sadly, in this era of fast food and busy working
mothers, choosing, cooking and eating enough fruits and vegetables may not be
easy for some.
But fret not: one great
way to incorporate more healthy fruits and vegetables into you and your
children’s daily life is to drink fruit juice. So load up on some quality
vegetables and fruits when shopping, and juice some at home everyday.
HOWEVER, if that’s still a
chore and takes away your already limited quality time with your family, get
the juice fresh, easy and in various delicious combinations on the go from the
juice experts at Juice Works! Yes, there are always options, and the power to
choose for the better lies in every mommy’s hands!
And
especially for the month of August, Juice Works is offering those born on Aug
31 an exclusive ‘Buy 1 Free 1’* promotion, in conjunction with the Merdeka Day
celebrations!
So mommies, don’t feel
guilty and get all stressed out if you can’t stretch the hours to cook or juice
up some goodness for your children. With Juice Works, you can still drink your
way to a healthier and lovelier you -- and you can do it together with your
loved ones too!
Let's not forget that
teaching the little ones to make better choices should start early – even as
early as in the womb. After all, researchers from the CNRS research institute
in France has already provided evidence in 2012 from a decade-long research
which indicates that taste preferences are set early in life. Yes, we’re
talking about pregnancy-stage early!
Babies can sense strong
flavours by inhaling amniotic fluid from in the womb, scientists believe. And
that what the mother takes in a certain dose goes also to the foetus during a
period when the brain is being formed, and “probably with long term
consequences.”
So for your sake and your
babies, choose for the better today!
