 Quick and Healthy Recipies

How many of you don’t like sweets? There will be no one right? When it comes to children and babies they love it so much and just keep on eating them. It’s good to have sweet to a certain limit. Overeating sweets or any other food can cause damage to your body. So make sure you give sweets to your baby within a certain limit.
There is a strict no to any kind of sweet or sugar before age one. You can give natural sugar which is present in fruits and vegetables. The refined sugar that we get in the market is a very harmful substance for both adults and children. So it’s good to avoid it or slowly decrease its quantity in your day-to-day life. You can also substitute sugar present in the kitchen with brown sugar, pure honey, jaggery, and dates, which are naturally sweet and also healthy for your body.

 

After your baby turns 1 year you can slowly start introducing sugar only when it’s necessary or once or twice a week. But remember only one spoon of sugar a day. Not more than that. Focus mainly on vegetables and fruits and other healthy foods to get the right amount of nutrition for your baby. Here I will share with you some basic sweet recipes which your toddler will love.
