Healthy eating: Start them young

It is often said that if we want to inculcate certain values in a person, start doing it while he is still young. Teaching the value of healthy eating is not an exemption to this. 

But while we want kids to eat healthy foods, a lot of barriers pose a challenge to this worthy goal. Among these are their access to junk foods, bombardment of TV advertisements, and the notion that healthy foods are not delicious. 

The solution to this dilemma? Make them eat familiar foods that are delicious and healthy, like Walter Wheat Bread for Kids.

Walter Wheat Bread for Kids is packed with the necessary vitamins, minerals, trace elements and fiber. It has also been added with inulin, a natural soluble fiber derived from chicory root.

While inulin is not well-known as a supplement food, it is becoming a popular ingredient in many types of food because of its health benefits, notably in the digestive tract. 

Inulin is a prebiotic that promotes the growth of the "good bacteria" lactobacillus and bifidobacteria while decreasing the growth of harmful bacteria. This helps maintain normal bowel function, decrease constipation and promote digestive regularity.

Recent research has shown that inulin has a beneficial effect in improving bone density and reducing the occurrence of osteoporosis because it can actually boost calcium absorption in the diet. 

Aside from these, inulin may also aid in cancer prevention. Bifidobacteria digest inulin to short chain fatty acids like butyric acid which has been shown to have cancer-preventing properties in the large intestines.

Walter Bread for Kids also contains whole wheat which guarantees that children will get the recommended amount of fiber intake. Fiber has been known to lessen the risk of heart disease and diabetes and prevent constipation.

Walter Bread for Kids is manufactured by Creative Bakers, maker of Walter Bread Sugar Free Wheat Pandesal, Sugar-Free Wheat Bread and Double Fiber Wheat Bread. All products are available in all leading supermarkets nationwide.
