When you’re at a popular summer attraction such as an amusement park, nutritional food choices may lacking.
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics suggests:
* Browse carefully for healthier options, such as grilled chicken, corn on the cob, veggie burgers, salads or grilled vegetables.
* Enjoy a healthy breakfast at home before you head to the park, and pack a nutritious lunch and snacks.
* Drink plenty of water throughout the day, and bring a refillable bottle. Skip sugary drinks.
* Kids are sure to beg for every sweet treat they see, but parents shouldn’t indulge every request.
* Focus on the fun, rather than on the food!
