Earlier this year, we launched our Taste Explorers Cookbook in collaboration with renowned registered dietitian Dr. Monique Piderit. Packed with over 25 nutritious recipes, it helps parents create healthy and delicious school lunches and dinners for their kids. Building on this success and driven by the shocking statistics of childhood obesity in South Africa, B-well Foods is once again emphasising the importance of teaching kids about nutrition.
“With such an alarming statistic, it is clear that we face a pressing need to address the nutritional habits of our youth. Immediate intervention is essential to combat this growing concern and promote healthier lifestyles for our children,” comments Dr. Monique Piderit.Several factors contribute to the increasing rates of obesity among South African children:High consumption of sugary drinks, fast foods, and snacks high in fat and sugar is a significant contributor.
Involving children in meal preparation can significantly benefit their health. Research indicates that children who cook are more likely to make healthier food choices. According to a study published in the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, these children are more willing to try new foods and consume more fruits and vegetables.
