Health is the most important thing that everyone must pay attention to. Especially by parents regarding the growth of children because they are the nation's assets for the future. The survival of a country really depends on children who will take this country in a better direction. So that children stay healthy and avoid various diseases, they must always eat healthy food.

Not only must you pay attention to the main food menu at home, but children's snacks must also be healthy. Giving children time to snack is the right opportunity to incorporate additional nutrition into their diet, but they must provide snacks that are nutritious and can provide energy. Choosing nutrient-dense snacks with a combination of protein, carbohydrates, high fiber and healthy fats is the main choice.

These snacks will make children feel full longer before eating the main meal. The most important thing is that food must have enough protein, which can come from vegetable or animal sources. Healthy fats that can be found in avocados, olive oil and nuts also really need to be considered. Fruits and vegetables should be the main part of the snacks consumed. Some of the following snacks can be a choice for mothers to consume for their children:

Yoghurt
It is an excellent snack for children because it has a good source of protein and calcium. Because calcium is very important for the development of children's bones. Some types of yoghurt contain live bacteria that are beneficial for the digestive system. However, make sure to choose plain yoghurt that is full of fresh fruit and honey.

Popcorn
As long as popcorn is made with healthy toppings, it can be a healthy snack for children. So parents can consider popcorn as a healthy snack for children. Of course, if you want it to be safer for your child to consume, you can make your own popcorn by adding butter and cheese on top.

Cheese
Most cheese consists of protein and fat which are good sources of calcium for growth. Dairy foods such as cheese are very influential on children's health because they contain Vitamin A, Vitamin D, calcium and magnesium. Besides that, cheese can provide children with high-quality protein needed for proper growth.

Boiled eggs
It is a highly nutritious food that contains high quality protein including several vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B12, riboflavin and selenium. Eggs are very beneficial for eye health and are the best food source for choline, a vitamin needed for good brain development.

That's the health information this morning, thank you and hopefully it can be useful for all of us
