Everyone should have the ability to shine brightly through their lives. Did you know that your diet can have a huge impact on the health of your teeth?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is important to choose healthier food for your family. Here are some easy tips for improving the oral health of your family members.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Browse through USDA’s SelectMyPlate.gov<\/a> website to find healthy meal planning ideas. Based on your level of physical activity, the site provides dietary recommendations for you and your children.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Include your children in the decision-making process.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aren’t we all guilty of snacking on sugary snacks and taking breaks during work? Are your children familiar with school vending machines? Are you aware of the impact these candy and sugary snacks can have on your smiles if they are used at school?<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tooth decay is the most prevalent chronic childhood disease. However, it can be prevented with simple planning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Healthy snacks such as veggie sticks and sliced fruits can be packed to prevent sugary snacking by your family. This can be made as simple and easy as possible. Pack healthy snacks in single-serve containers for your children each day so they can grab them and go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tooth decay can also be caused by sugary drinks and sweetened beverages. Tooth decay can also be caused by sugary drinks and sweetened sodas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Planning is your friend. Why not try flavored water instead of soda? It can be just as satisfying. You can share a fun, colorful, reusable water container with your child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Slice some oranges, watermelon or other fresh fruits and put them in a bottle. Add some ice to top. Then, add water to the bottle. Finally, let the mixture cool for a while before enjoying it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n To promote healthy teeth, and bones, plan meals that include calcium-rich foods like salmon and dark green leafy veggies when you are at home. It might be easier to pack a low-fat or fat free lunch. You can also choose yogurt, low-fat milk, cheese, or almonds, or other nuts that you can grab and go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We understand that you are busy and have many responsibilities. However, with a little planning you can ensure your children have healthy food options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your children deserve a bright future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Everyone should have the ability to shine brightly through their lives.
