Kids these days are bombarded with fast food options. It is important for parents to create an awareness of ill-effects of eating junk food.

There are so many options outside junk food like wholewheat crackers, yogurt-based dips, fruit lollies and sorbets which are tasty and delicious, yet healthy.

Parents should make an effort to introduce kids to the right kind of food from the very beginning. Junk food for meals should not become a habit in urban households. Also, kids should be encouraged to have an active lifestyle to burn out fat and calories.
