plz ans in detail at least 100 words how health should be encouraged​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Adopting healthy eating and drinking patterns for CiC from an early age can promote good health and well-being in later life. Food intake is influenced by family eating patterns and through interaction with peers. Early food experiences can have a significant effect on food likes and dislikes and on eating habits in later life.
• ways to encourage children & young people to eat well
• As a carer, you should aim to offer tasty, nicely presented and well-cooked foods that will be enjoyed by the children and young people. Meal times should not be rushed as a relaxed approach to eating can pave the way for healthy attitudes to food. It is important to make eating a pleasurable experience. Food can be an enjoyable, social activity. It is equally significant to recognise the importance of eating well for good health. Changes can be made gradually and, small changes to foods that are eaten regularly have the greatest effect on eating well. Some useful tips:
• 1 - Cook from scratch
• Home-cooked food is healthier than ready-meals or convenience foods. You control what goes into your body by measuring the oil, salt, sugar, and other ingredients in each recipe. You can also select the fresh, organic, seasonal or other preferred ingredients you want to add. It doesn’t have to be too onerous!
• stock up your store cupboard - include reduced-sugar-and-salt baked beans, tinned tomatoes and dried pulses, which all count towards your 5-a-day. One third of your daily food intake should be a starchy carbohydrate, preferably a high fibre,  wholegrain variety, so stock up on brown rice and  whole-wheat pasta
• avoid using stock cubes and salty sauces. Look for low salt stock and use herbs and spices to add flavour to foods instead
• cook in bulk and freeze healthy meals for later – this will save you time and money
• a healthy mash-up. Save energy by pre-cooking a batch of jacket potatoes in the oven. Reheat in the microwave later or use as mash to top a fish or cottage pie
• use vegetables as the main component of the meal to get your five-a-day
• use low fat cheese in cooking or use smaller amounts of strong cheese – the stronger the cheese, the less you need
• use low fat natural yoghurts and fromage frais in cooking instead of cream (but remember that children under two need full fats in their diets)
• use lean meats where possible and skim the fat from stews/casseroles, or replace the meat with beans, pulses or lentils. You can buy beans and lentils in tins as well as dried. Look for those in water rather than brine/salted water
• in general, grill, bake, steam, poach, slow cook or boil instead of roasting/ frying food, this will reduce the fat content
• use dried fruit in puddings, cakes and biscuits to reduce the  sugar content
• uook for vegan and vegetarian recipes when baking as those are often lower in sugar and fat
• 2 - Offer a variety
• It is important for children and young people to eat a varied diet, and carers should encourage young people to try different foods. Be creative when serving food as the same food can be served in different ways. Another idea is to mix foods, e.g. carrot mash with potato mash. Tasting sessions are also a useful way to get children and young people to try new foods. Involving them in the selection and preparation also encourages them to try the foods they haven’t tried before, or have perhaps tried but didn’t like.
• 3 - Listen & involve!
• Communication between carers, children and young people about food preferences is essential, and asking children and young people their views on food and food-related issues should be a fundamental part of everyday care. This allows young people to voice their feelings and concerns over food, if they have any. At the same time, it is essential that carers actively encourage the involvement of children and young people  in planning menus, food shopping and in preparing and cooking food as this can also provide a useful framework for communication.
