Whole
Grains are Best
 An
important change your family can make is to switch from overly
processed foods to those made with whole grains, especially
when it comes to bread, crackers, pasta, rice, waffles, cereals
and flours used in baking. One of the benefits of eating whole
grains is that they are chock-full of fiber. Diets high in
fiber have been shown to decrease the risk of heart disease,
diabetes, constipation and unhealthy weight gain.
• Most children
do not get the required amount of fiber
• Look for 3-5 grams of
fiber per serving
• Think of fiber as a broom
that sweeps the insides of your child’s intestines clean
• Gradually switch over to whole
grains products |
