Currently working on some market research for an innovative educational toy which will revolutionise how children think about food and healthy eating. It will create an increased nutritional awareness through positive association with the good foods using multi sensory technology. Wondering how much would parents pay for a product aimed at 3-5 year olds?

$12 to 20 I would say not seeing the product.

How does it?

Does healthy eating help in anyway?
I know the basics,
but I have to have part of my science fair project in by tomorrow… and well I haven’t started .

I just needed a bit of extras.

Speaking for myself:

If you eat small portions of HEALTHY food, you can increase your metabolic rate, which is crucial for burning fat w/ minimal exercise.

If you gorge on food, it tricks your body into storing energy for fat reserves–like when bears hibernate.

Eating a high caloric diet that doesn’t match your physical lifestyle will cause you to get fatter.

What are the Benefits of healthy eating and exercise?

1)live longer- if you trulely eat healthy than you lower your risk for pretty much every disease, no joke. and excercise will make heart stronger

2) sexy and confident- don’t even need to explain

3)structure- to eat healthy and exercising takes a lot of will power that when done correctly will bring great satisfaction. you’ll be living proof that you have the power to make yourself a better person and have the willpower and mental dexterity to complete a task to its fullest. personnalIy I was a trouble youth (got kicked out of my first college for partying too much, etc) nd not until I decided I wanted to change my body did my behavior begin to improve. I think my life is 100xbetter being healthy and enjoying life for what it is and only occasionally partying than what I did my freshman year.

Is it hard for you to eat healthy? What makes you shy away from healthy eating? Please let me know.
Thanks!

The hardest part is variety. I found that buying cook books geared towards healthy eating have helped. Other than that, I like to eat healthy..I just feel better overall.

Because if I don’t see results in a few years time, would getting liposuction help to kick start a new healthy eating plan? And I would also like to get it if I don’t see results to make me feel better. I know that it wont make me fitter, or healthier. But like I stated. Is it a good way to kick start a new healthy eating plan?

well not really, you’ve got a few years to see results! That is plenty of time to change an unhealthy lifestyle. Just find ways of motivating yourself to get there!

You can eat healthy at whatever age right? Im 14 and my mom thinks Im too young to be eating organic/healthy.

Wow… just… wow!

Of course you should eat healthy at any age! It is especially important for children to eat healthy. It really breaks my heart when I see obese mothers feeing their obese toddlers cola and junk food… argh!

You need healthy, wholesome food for your growing brain and body. What you do now plays a role in your health as an adult, especially when you become old. Do you want to be sick all the time? No, of course not! That’s why you have to eat healthy!

Now, that doesn’t mean you can’t have "junk" once in a while. Moderation is the key.

I’m soooo fussy when it comes to food – I’m not too keen on fruit – I’ll eat the odd apple from time to time but that’s about it. I don’t like nuts or seeds to some extent & every healthy eating article says about snacking on nuts, seeds & fruit. Can anyone recommend anything else which helps you to loose weight but isn’t fruits/nuts or suchlike?

Fruits, nuts and seeds belong in the carbohydrates section. Fruits also gives you fiber. Nuts and seeds give you protein too. You’ll need replacements.
You need the basic three nutrients in food: carbohydrates (a type of sugar), fats and proteins.
You can replace the fiber you get from fruit by eating more vegetables or whole-grain products. You should eat about 25 grams of fiber a day for healthy eating.
Fruit, nuts and seeds can be replaced as carbohydrates by potatoes, cassava, yams, taro, dried peas, dried beans, grains, rice, sugar, milk, candy. I recommend milk. It gives you fat (giving you more energy) and it contains calcium and protein too! That could be your protein replacement.
I hope I helped. If you need some recipes to find out what you can eat as a fussy eater try these sites. All the recipes are healthy and contain information about the nutritional value. That way you can see how much of each nutriet you’re eating everyday.

I want to start eating healthy- but I want the food to be yummy too. What are some basics for healthy eating? What are some healthy food staples to keep in the house? Any advice on healthy food eating would be great. Thanks!

eat yummy food but make sure it’s not too much. eat protein in the morning because it’ll tone down your hunger later. lunch should be your biggest meal and dinner should be your smallest. just control the amount you eat and don’t eat when you know you’re full because it’s going to waste or you just still want to eat it.

After having a healthy diet for a few weeks I don’t like the idea of eating junk food. Is this because my body feels good that way.

sure does! so does a lot of exercise :D
