The Worst Foods For A Hyperactive Toddler Or Child

Lunch Meats

Many premade lunchboxes for children include bologna, turkey, smoked ham and roast beef. Eating one slice per day may pose dangerous health risks. Processed meats are full of preservatives called nitrates. These preservatives are known to increase an individual's risk of developing cancer and heart disease. It is best to avoid all premade sandwich meats due to their high sodium content and preservatives. Parents can make a sandwich with a few pieces of last night’s organic chicken or real meat. Top it with fresh avocado and cheese. Serve it on sprouted grain whole wheat bread for an added healthy touch.
