Correct Preventing obesity includes encouraging families to establish consistent
times for meals and snacks and discouraging between-meal eating. Parents
and children also need to be taught how to select and prepare healthful
foods. Because snacks are an important aspect in childhood nutrition,
nutritious snacks should be identified. School-age children usually require
a healthful snack after school and in the evening. A child who spends time
with social media has less interest in physical activity and going outdoors.
Incorrect Snacks are an important aspect in childhood nutrition. Nutritious snacks
should be identified, not eliminated. Healthy snack options include fruit,
popcorn, nuts, and yogurt, not cookies and diet soda. In schools with snack
machines, children may use their lunch money to purchase high-calorie
snacks versus a nutritious lunch.
