A recent study from the UK found that kids whose diet is mainly comprised of high-calorie, fatty, and sugary foods can experience stiffened arteries by age 17, increasing the risk for heart attack and stroke. But what about foods that sound healthy like veggie puffs?

“Veggie puffs, kids really like them, they’re palatable, and often they’re a quick snack. Typically, this food might be missing like protein and fiber,” explained Stasnopolis.

“What you can do here instead is, have the veggie puffs and then add in nuts and popcorn so you can provide a little bit more protein and fiber,” explainedStasnopolis.

Yogurts designed for kids have a lot more sugar and artificial flavors and dyes than regular yogurt.

Instead, give your kids plain low-fat yogurt with some jam or fruit preserves. Some other foods that seem healthy but are not: reduced fat peanut butter, cereal bars, fruit juice and sports drinks. All these items are processed and contain a lot of added sugars.
