Welcome to my site on Children and All Things Health THE CONNECTION BETWEEN HEALTH, DIET AND NATURE One thing i care deeply about is Health and Wellbeing. I believe diet plays a fundamental role in how we feel, both emotionally and physically. Furthermore, I think that fostering healthy eating habits amongst children is of primary importance because it sets behaviours for later on in life. I decided to set up this website as a knowledge portal that provides recommendations on how to cultivate healthy eating habits in children and ideas on how to reconnect them with the earth, giving them a greater appreciation of our planet. Children have great imaginations and see magic in much around them. This is a great opportunity for parents and teachers to leverage of these attributes and create fun activities, using the exploration of our natural environment to promote healthy eating and wellbeing. It could be through gardening, growing vegetables, cooking and art. My circle of friends and I take the kids to organic markets in Marrickville most Sunday's to see where fresh produce comes from, and to farms to broaden their understanding about the life cycle of animals. For example: Chickens lay eggs, the eggs hatch into baby chooks and then grow up to be adult chickens.
