Eating a piece of fruit with a sandwich every lunchtime is an example of "chaining.". Chaining involves linking two behaviors; soon the individual will always want to eat a piece of fruit whenever they eat a sandwich. Gradually reducing intake of sugar-sweetened beverages, keeping a record of all food and beverages eaten, and involving all family members in choosing healthy foods are other good strategies to help improve eating habits.
