Better Body Chemistry for vegetable haters
Tips & strategies make vegetables MORE enjoyable
Start early
The secret to raising a child that loves eating vegetables is to eat lots of vegetables when nursing because flavour preferences are created before 6 months
Make it normal
The mere presence of a vegetable alongside the chicken, steak or pasta, improves the status of the meal, and the chef, transforming it to a LOVE PACKAGE
Lead by example
You want your child to eat wholesome nutritious food, so that they grow up healthy and skinny, but demanding it, is unlikely to work in the long run.
Make it "easy"
improve palatability
If you don’t add a little oil to your salad, it really doesn’t taste terribly good, the calorie count is seriously low, but so is the nutrient count ....
Disguise the bitterness
About 70 % of kids belong to the “broccoli tastes really yuk” club. If you want your child to swallow it, then you need to serve it with a cloaking device.

You desperately want your kid to “eat right”. On the home front, you have control over what junior shovels down, but beyond your home is another story.
Market the vegetables
Make them sexy
Getting kids (and husbands) to eat their vegetables is frequently an uphill battle. Getting that broccoli to slide down, could just require a name change.
give lots of options
The “I am full message” is easily overridden by the sensory regions of the brain so the option to eat a variety of foods leads to more food being eaten.
sell the benefits
The secret to a healthy skin colour is not to bake in the sun for hours BUT in eating tomoato puree and carrot soup.
Don't force it
That night light may not be protecting your child from the boogeyman – if the light is not red, it is aligned with the boogeyman.
You want to decrease the risk of breast cancer, not just detect it early, since being exposed to light at night, ups the risk, be sure to sleep IN THE DARK
You’re a regular Jo, most nights, you climb into bed and ……………you’re off to dreamland. Sleep issues don’t explain your weight problems. Not so fast…….
