Que la Mitad de su Plato sean Verduras y Frutas

Ingredientes para las“Verduras a la Italiana”

“Pienso en las cosas que hacían mis padres y creo que esas son las cosas que debo tratar de hacer – los niños siguen su ejemplo. Lo que usted haga, ellos también lo harán”. Bianca--Mamá de Arizona

Los niños aprenden viéndola a usted. Coma Verduras y Frutas ¡y sus niños también lo harán!

¿Cómo puedo lograr que mi niño coma más verduras y frutas?• Coman juntos. Que sus niños la vean disfrutando de las verduras y frutas en las comidas y bocadillos.• Llévelas con usted. Enséñele a su hijo que una fruta entera es un buen bocadillo para comer en el parque o en el centro comercial. Ponga manzanas, naranjas o plátanos en su bolsa para una botana rápida.• Prepárenlas juntos. Enseñe a sus niños a despedazar una lechuga con las manos o agregue ingredientes de verdura a la pizza. • La paciencia funciona mejor que la presión. Ofrézcales comidas nuevas a sus niños. Luego, déjelos decidir qué quieren comer. Es posible que los niños disfruten más de una comida si ellos mismos la escogieron.

¿Por qué es importante lo que yo haga?• Ellos aprenden viendo lo que usted hace. A los niños les da curiosidad si la ven comiendo verduras y frutas. Cuando menos lo piense, van a querer probar lo que usted come.• Usted les enseña lecciones que usarán toda su vida. Es normal que los niños de 2 a 5 años de edad sean “quisquillosos” para comer. Ayúdelos a aumentar los tipos de verduras y frutas que les gustan, dándoles el buen ejemplo.

¿Qué tipo de frutas debemos comer?• Las verduras y frutas frescas, congeladas y enlatadas, todas son buenas elecciones. Compre un poco de cada tipo para que le duren hasta su próxima compra.

◊ Las verduras congeladas tienen tantas vitaminas y minerales como las frescas. Escoja paquetes que contengan verduras y nada más; sin grasa, sal o azúcar agregadas.◊ Compre frutas enlatadas en 100% jugo o agua.◊ Enjuague los frijoles y verduras enlatados con agua fría para quitarles un poco de sal.

Que las Verduras y Frutas sean fáciles de ver y de alcanzar

Cuando los niños lleguen a casa con hambre, tenga Verduras y Frutas listas para comer

• Ponga verduras y frutas lavadas y cortadas en un estante del refrigerador, donde los niños las puedan ver. • Ponga un tazón de frutas frescas lavadas en la mesa de la cocina.• Corte manzanas en rebanadas. Mójelas con jugo de piña o naranja para que no se pongan oscuras. Ponga las manzanas para bocadillos en bolsitas de plástico o tazones sellados en el congelador.
