To learn to eat everything and change eating habits, the most important thing is not to give up and know that it takes some time for the taste buds to change and accept new foods like chuchu, pumpkin, jiló and broccoli, for example.
It is essential to learn how to vary food and risk new flavors because even seemingly bad foods like jiló and broccoli are rich in nutrients that improve the health and well-functioning of the body.
The tips for learning to eat everything are:
1. To persist, not to give up
It is necessary to persist in the attempts to like some food, because it takes at least 10 to 15 attempts so that the palate is habitable and loses the aversion for the food. It's not because you've only tasted it once, you need to exclude this food from your diet. Please try again after a few days.
2. Vary the recipes
You should vary the way you prepare foods to change the flavor and combinations with seasonings and other accompaniments in the dish, because this way you have more chances to hit and please the palate. For example: If you do not like cooked chuchu, try putting chuchu pieces when making panela, for example. If you did not like the raw beet in the salad, try eating the cooked and cold beets in the salad or cooking it with the beans.
3. Start with small amounts
To try new foods or try to like something you normally dislike, you should start by trying to eat in small amounts. Putting a spoonful of beets or broccoli on the plate is enough for the first few days of trying, because insisting with large amounts can increase the rejection even more. Another good tip is to put a small piece of the vegetable and hit the blender with orange juice, for example. Coe and drink next.
4. Mix with foods you like
Mixing a bad food with a good one is a great tip to learn to enjoy the new flavor. Yummy food will help modify the flavor of the preparation, increasing the acceptance of bad food. For example: If you do not like boiled eggplant because you find the consistency strange, try putting a few slices of eggplant inside a lasagne.
5. Make beautiful dishes
Preparing the food with a good appearance stimulates the desire and the will to eat, because first eats with the eyes. Make colorful plates with details in the shape and add sauces to increase appetite. For example: If it's hard to like salads, try preparing a very nice dish with lettuce, tomato, onion, arugula and then add pieces of fruit that you like and drizzle with a sauce of your choice. Gradually reduce the amount of the sauce to decrease the calories of the dish and get accustomed to the taste of vegetables.
6. Place aromatic herbs
Besides good looks, it is important to try to make preparations with a good aroma, adding herbs and spices that increase the desire to eat, such as lemon, ginger, curry, parsley, chives or coriander. If you can have these herbs at home, to harvest on time, the aroma will be even better, but if while cooking have a very strong smell, try to decrease the amount you are using, what matters is the end result.
7. Avoid excessive sweet and greasy foods
Sweet and greasy foods are easy to enjoy and vitiate the taste, causing new flavors to be rejected. Thus, avoid consumption of soft drinks, fast food and sweets so that your taste buds learn to like foods with less intense flavors.
It's easy to make a kid like biscotti and package fries and it may seem difficult to get her to eat fruits and vegetables. However all these tips can be used to help children eat more healthily and nourishing, suiting their taste buds.
However, if even after persisting enough food continues to be refused and causing malaise during the meal, one can invest in other healthy foods that are also nutritious, since the secret of healthy eating is in variety, not just in product.
