1. Keep eating fruits and vegetables It can be difficult to buy, stock, and cook fresh vegetables during the COVID-19 lockdown, especially when parents are advised to limit going out as much as possible. But whenever possible, parents need to make sure there are plenty of fruits and vegetables in their child's diet. Try to buy fresh foods whenever possible. Fresh fruits and vegetables can be eaten right away or can also be frozen to retain most of their nutrients and flavor. Cooking soups, stews with fresh vegetables or other dishes will keep them longer and store for a few days. These can also be frozen and reheated when eaten.

2. When fresh food is not available, use healthy dry or canned food In general, fresh food is always the best choice, but when fresh food is not available, there are many other healthy options that are easy to store and prepare. Canned beans and chickpeas, are a very nutritious dish, and can be stored for months or even years, we can use this dish in our meals in many different ways. Oil-soaked canned fish such as sardines, mackerel and salmon are rich in protein, omega 3 fatty acids, and many vitamins and minerals. Canned fish can be opened immediately with sandwiches, salads or noodles, or processed or heated to serve with other dishes. Canned vegetables, like tomatoes, often don't contain as many vitamins as fresh vegetables, but they are also an option to stock up when it's hard to buy fresh or frozen vegetables. Dried foods such as beans, peas and nuts such as lentils, split dried beans, rice, couscous or quinoa are also very nutritious, long-lasting and delicious, affordable and filling. Ground oats eaten with milk or water make a great breakfast, and can be added to yogurt, chopped fruit, or raisins.

3. Stock up on some healthy snacks

Children often eat junk food at some point during the day. Instead of giving your child sweet or salty foods, we should give them healthy snacks such as nuts, cheese, yogurt (preferably unsweetened), fruit or berries. dried, hard-boiled eggs, or other healthy snacks that are readily available where you live. These snacks are nutritious, fill them up, and help them form healthy eating habits later in life.

4. Limit processed foods

When you can't buy fresh food, you should also avoid buying a lot of processed foods. Snacks, snacks, and packaged desserts are often high in saturated fat, sugar, and salt. If you must buy processed foods, look carefully at product labels and try to choose foods that are low in these substances. Try to avoid sweets and drink lots of water instead. Adding slices of fruit or veg like lemon, lime, cucumber or strawberry to your drink is a great way to add flavor
