And walking through your local supermarket, you might think there are plenty of safe and wholesome options out there. But remember, most big food brands are never as wholesome as they claim. \u201cFresh\u201d fruit juices are full of preservatives and added sugars; while \u201cvitamin-enriched\u201d cereals typically include a long list of artificial colours. Faithful to Nature has put together some handy tips on what to look out for on those ingredient lists, the best ways to avoid them, and which healthy snacks you can feed your toddler instead.<\/p>\n<p>These are just a few good reasons to stay well away from artificial colouring, flavouring and preservatives.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Why You Should Avoid Artificial Additives<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>They have NO nutritional value; they\u2019ve been added simply to enhance the colour or flavour of foods, to make them seem more appealing<\/li>\n<li>They\u2019ve been linked to behavioural problems like hyperactivity and ADHD; <a href=\"http:\/\/healthychild.org\/easy-steps\/avoid-food-dyes-to-reduce-hyperactivity-and-adhd\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">read more here<\/a><\/li>\n<li>They\u2019ve been linked to food allergies in children (and many adults too); consumption can trigger symptoms like asthma and eczema<\/li>\n<li>Ingredients like artificial colours are tested for safety, but often banned in numerous countries; is that a safety standard you can really trust?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>So now we know why we should steer clear of these ingredients, but how do we do that? Here are a few key tips to limit your little one\u2019s exposure to these sneaky \u201chidden nasties\u201d:<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Tips for Keeping it Natural<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Eat more whole foods; limit the amount of processed foods and ready-made meals you eat at home.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Pack your own snacks; keep some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/happy-kid-oat-bars-apple-cinnamon-140g\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">natural snack bars<\/a> in your bag, make trail mix and pur\u00e9es from scratch, and keep a few homemade snacks ready to go for days when you know you\u2019ll be out and about with your little one. This means you\u2019re much less likely to give into convenient store-bought snacks like chips and sweets. Check out our Trail Mix Recipes and our <a href=\"http:\/\/www.faithful-to-nature.co.za\/natural-organic-blog\/2014\/09\/organic-baby\/baby-food-pouches\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Baby Food recipes<\/a> for some inspiration.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Juice your own fruit and veg, or blend fresh produce into smoothies, instead of buying pre-mixed \u201cfresh\u201d juices at the supermarket. It\u2019s easier than you think, and after you\u2019ve tasted real fresh juice you won\u2019t want to go back.
