The Dirty Dozen 

Do you struggle to get your kids to eat well? Nutrition in children is a constant source of concern for parents. There are so many health concerns associated with bad nutrition, such as diabetes, obesity and the myriad of diseases and illness that come with it, poor dental health and low levels of concentration. Alex Gazzola believes there are twelve foods which make up the dirty dozen - foods to be avoided at all costs:

1. Sugary cereals
2. Fruit juice drinks
3. Chewing gum
4. Supermarket/takeaway pizza
5. French fries
6. Biscuits
7. Potato crisps
8. Processed cheese snacks
9. Processed meat 'takeaway products"and burgers
10. Cereal bars
11. Ice-cream
12. Caffeine

Have you eliminated these foods from your kids diet? Have you thought up healthier, tastier alternatives? Do you have any tips for parents who are trying to wean their own children off sugar and processed foods? What were your experiences? We'd love to read about it.
