Do you guys give apples to your kids everyday? My neighbour asked me to give apples everyday to my girls. Some days they eat without giving any trouble and some days they don't.

I try to eat an apple every day myself but do not always make it. vary your kinds of apples and your girls will be more likely to eat them daily. some kinds of apples are much sweeter and more pleasant to eat than others. so have a few different varieties.

Hi Vidhya Apple is good for health for children as well as adults. Haven't you heard the proverb "an apple a day keep the doctor away"? If your kids do not eat apple in some days, don't force them to. Because this may lead an aversion towards apple. You can give them in some other form like apple juice or jelly etc. In general all fruits are good for health. If they like some other fruits you can give them that also. Consumption of apple reduces the risk of cancer, heart diseases, diabetes and asthma. In addition to this apple contains vitamins and other essential nutrients.

As with adults, kids tends to become colic when eating something on a regular basis. Giving the kids fruits is not wrong but letting them eat the same thing every day will give them colic. What you can do is mix their diet with other fruits. After while your kids will start to hate apples this is not what you want. Do you? Why don't you juice it since it is now the summer and the time is hot. They are still getting the nutrients just as if they are eating it.
