Every parent strives to provide their children with adequate nourishment and a healthy diet. Children, on the other hand, throw tantrums by refusing to eat certain foods.

Here are three (3) food myths that might negatively impact your child's health in a variety of ways:

Your child will be healthy if he or she eats frequently.


This is a myths that might impact your child's health, a very common myth that children's growth and development would be increased if they eat frequently. Regular diet and eating habits, such as eating on hunger and eating a healthy balanced diet, are critical for a child's healthy development. In children, frequent eating can lead to health issues such as obesity and diabetes.

Sweet dishes help maintain energy levels in children.


This is another myth that might affect your child's health. The thing is in reality, too much sugar can be dangerous to your child's health. This can lead to them developing a "sugar addiction," which can be harmful to them both mentally and physically. Irritability, mood swings, changes in activity level, and other symptoms of addiction can occur. As a result, you should keep an eye on their sugar intake. Sugar should not be entirely controlled, but it should be kept under control.

Fruit juice should be included in the baby's diet.


Last on the list, is a popular myth that fruit juice should be part of your child's diet. It is, however, no better than any other fruit. Fiber, like any other food or vitamin, is vital to our health. When you give your child fruit juice, the fiber content drops to nil, which is bad. Increase their fruit consumption and only give fruit juice on rare occasions. Never give canned juice to a child.
