EIGHT POWER FRUITS FOR BETTER HEALTH

There is something important that you do not and you are the only one in his dream, as most Americans are so lax as you are in this regard. Too many guys do not fill half their plates with fruits and vegetables recommended, and if you are part of these people is something that will have to answer, because their diet is probably deficient in vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals that your body needs for health and no, canned fruits and juices do not have optimal.

A company of Western Australia has a potato dispenser hot chips fried frozen pending.

 

Although the idea has occurred to many who watched with sadness in the closing sign of the local pizzeria to three hours before stumbling home to a disappointing slice of toast, the successful execution took years of work .

 

This is the latest company to Perth Affairs Peter Malone, best known for his turn as CEO of telecommunications company collapsed New Tel, the company's $ 2.5 billion he founded with his best man in 1988.

 

New Tel trades in 1999 and reported $ 150 million in the market before its promise of being "America Online China" fell flat. When the company was in administration in 2002, he had to creditors nearly $ 50 million . Telstra and Optus both were owed $ 10 million.

 

Malone, who heads the company Hot Chip, said that the development of the vending machine began over 10 years ago when his business partner group began recording unsuccessful attempts by other companies.

 

He said his machine, which has just passed the trial stage and begin commercial production this year, fried potato chips in a bucket of 10 liters of rice bran oil in the belly of the machine.

 

The technology used in the final design, which is based on a robotic arm to grab the chips in a cup and serve the customers waiting, has been made available in recent years.

 

Malone suggested chips could qualify for the Heart Foundation tick than fried in oil without cholesterol. Said the risk of food poisoning was minimal because "the potatoes are much more than an inert material."

The choice of potato was not an easy task. Stephen Bendotti is a potato processing company director Bendotti exporters and WA Chip, which provides chips. He said it took a lot of trial and error to frozen french fries that are cooked properly within minutes.



McDonald’s serves organic milk to children in the U.K.? But not here in the U.S.?

 

McDonald’s also serves organic milk with their porridge (oatmeal), coffee and tea! You’ll also find healthier items, like pineapple and carrot sticks that you won’t find at any McDonald’s in the U.S. – also without preservatives. Their fries aren’t cooked in oil that contains TBHQ (a derivative of butane) or the anti-foaming agentdimethylpolysiloxane(an ingredient in silly putty) like they are here. Isn’t it funny that the oil in the U.K. seems to work just fine without these ingredients?

Pull through the Taco Bell drive-thru and you won’t be able to order Cinnabon desserts and big Mt. Dew Baja Blast Frozen drinks because these super sugary “treats” simply aren’t available. If you dine at Pizza Hut, you’ll get to take advantage of a free unlimited salad bar full of fresh vegetables (like they used to have in the United States but discontinued). I’m not saying everything is healthy in these restaurants, because it’s certainly not – but, it’s definitely different than what we’ve got going on here in the U.S. Not only are their ingredients different, but they are serving up completely different ingredients and menu choices. One startling thing I noticed is that many of the menu items in the U.K. contain far less sugar than the versions that they serve us in the U.S.

Five Fast-Food Restaurants Serving Up More Sugar In the U.S.:

1.  McDonald’s Chocolate Shake (without whip cream or cherry on top)

If you order a large chocolate shake in the U.K., you’ll get it in the classic smaller cup (16.9 oz.) that I remember as a kid. This is about the same size as a medium size shake now in the U.S., as cup sizes have grown dramatically over the years. McDonald’s has changed their shakes for the worse in the U.S. and now serve new larger versions (22 oz.) with whipped cream that contain an astounding 120 grams of sugar. In the U.K. that large shake still has a whole lot of sugar (67 grams), but it’s so much less sugar than what we get here at home. Taking into account the bigger cups sizes in the U.S., ounce for ounce, the U.S. McDonald’s shake without whip has 33% more sugar than the U.K. version.

2.  Pizza Hut Pepperoni Lovers/Pepperoni Feast Thin Crust Pizza (14” large/8 slices)

Not only would you get to take advantage of that free unlimited salad bar in the U.K., but when you order this pizza it only contains 16 grams of sugar, versus a whopping 40 grams in the U.S. version. That’s 151% more sugar!

3.  Subway Turkey Ham Sandwich (6″ with 9-grain wheat bread, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, green peppers and onions)

Subway used to be one of my go-to “healthy” sandwiches before I stopped eating processed fast food. Their Turkey Ham Sandwich isn’t exactly high in sugar, but here in the U.S. you’ll get over 56% more sugar (8 grams of sugar for 217 gram subway sandwich) than if you were to order the exact same sandwich in the U.K (5.4 grams of sugar for 228 gram sandwich).

4.  Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte (20 oz. venti, semi-skim/2% milk with whip)

i couldn’t help but wonder if Starbucks was serving up the same ingredients in other countries. I obtained the complete list of ingredients for the Pumpkin Spice latte in the U.K., and my hunches were correct. Not only did they reformulate their recipe with safer ingredients, but it also contains a lot less sugar. The venti Pumpkin Spice (2% milk with whip) in the U.S. has a whopping 58% percent more sugar than the U.K. version. A “tall” latte in the U.S. (small size) has almost the same amount of sugar as the Venti (large size).

Starbucks also doesn’t use use caramel coloring in the U.K., which proves this is a totally unnecessary ingredient. Instead, they color it with beta carotene (from carrots) and don’t use preservatives. Starbucks is telling news agencies here in the U.S. that they’ve got a “team in place” working on phasing out caramel coloring in the U.S. But, they’ve already done it in the U.K., so why can’t they just serve the same, safer, product here?

5.  Krispy Kreme Glazed Doughnut

A plain Krispy Kreme glazed doughnut in the U.S. has 52% more sugar than the U.K. version. Not only is the U.S. doughnut slightly smaller (49 gram size), but it’s got more sugar, ringing in at 10 grams, versus 7 grams in the U.K. doughnut (52 gram size). If you eat more than one doughnut, those extra sugar grams can add up

Gordon Ramsay restaurant advice forStarting


 

Every man and his dog seems to want to open a restaurant today. The dream? A small corner, corner full of customers of worship, passionate staff and a full cash register. Sound familiar? Then it's time for a reality check. As Gordon Ramsay said, "two thirds of the restaurants do not survive beyond their first birthday."

There are long hours, grumpy customers, financial requirements and all kinds of other issues. Whenever you want to do? Here are some suggestions for you - leader Ramsay style.

1. Do not be arrogant

"Many restaurants opened in vanity, people who can not even boil an egg is how I buy a rugby club because I love the game One of my biggest nightmares is that you do not need knowledge makes people fall in love with an idea and do not want to learn their craft, it takes years. - time and commitment. "

Of course, you're still in it? Ok then ...

2. Have you done your homework?

"The secret of a good local restaurant is know your customers and catering for them to do your research .."

Is the region needs a gourmet restaurant expensive, or would be more comfortable with a place potatoes in a hot oven? Make sure you know the area, evaluate the competition and find out what their strengths and weaknesses are. What are you going to stand out from the rest?

3. Choose the right chef

"best conservative investment will always be the head, and if you do not have this great asset in the kitchen downstairs, so forget the guy has to be a motivating factor, being a leader to make money .. keep customers coming back. "

Make sure your head is up. They are an arrogant young upstart who does not know cooking pork or beef, or well seasoned leader with vision and drive?

4. Who is responsible?

"You have to trust in the brigade paid, and may also cause to develop their talent Keep hands on them, motivate ..."

5. Communication and Teamwork

"The key to any successful restaurant is regular communication between management and the chef."

6. The menu

"The flatter, more the norm."

7. Quality Control

"Errors stay in the kitchen."

8. Maintain clean and organized

"The fundamental rule of the kitchen: the kitchen is clean and tidy I mean spotless"

9. Be flexible

"In my own business, I am very aware of the need to react instantly to changes in business conditions :. Reduce reducing overhead, setting menus, you have to react immediately without having to wait in the current climate we produce weekly, monthly values and is not, you need to be aware of what is happening. "

10. Do not give up

"One thing I see is the struggle, determination and grains."

 

Foods Help You Sleep

 

Sleeping woman

Let's face it - we live in a society without stopping. In our haste, we too often we sleep in the background. As a busy mother, I can understand why people dream of doing things goes.

But this is the wrong approach. Sleep has a huge effect on how you feel throughout the day, and nutrition plays an important role in the way you sleep. The food is directly related to serotonin, a key hormone that - with vitamin B6, B12 and folic acid - helps promote healthy sleep. Try to eat foods that calm the body, increase the levels of serotonin and prepare for sleep.

Here are some foods to start on the road to sleep.

 

Brown rice

1. Complex carbohydrates

Embrace all breads, cereals, pasta, crackers and brown rice. Avoid simple carbohydrates like bread, pasta and sweets like cookies, cakes, candies and other sweet foods. These tend to reduce the levels of serotonin and does not promote sleep.

2. Lean proteins

Lean proteins are low-fat cheese, chicken, turkey and fish. These foods are high in tryptophan, an amino acid, which tends to increase the serotonin levels. On the other hand, avoiding high-fat cheese, chicken wings or fried fish. They take longer to digest and can keep you awake

3. Heart-healthy fats

Unsaturated fats not only increase the health of your heart, but also to improve the levels of serotonin. Examples include peanut butter (read the label to ensure that the peanut is the only ingredient) and nuts such as walnuts, almonds, cashews and pistachios. Avoid foods containing saturated and trans fats, such as chips, crisps and other snacks high in fat. These bring your low serotonin levels.   

4. Beverages

Some drinks can promote or prevent sleep. A pleasant and relaxing drink to drink before bedtime would be the hot milk (his mother was right) or herbal tea such as chamomile or peppermint. As for drinks containing caffeine, I recommend to my clients who have trouble sleeping a drink consumed two pmCaffeine can affect people differently, and even the smallest amount of stimulants can keep you awake.

Basil leaf

5. Fresh herbs

Fresh herbs can have a calming effect on the body. For example, sage, basil and contains chemicals that reduce stress and promote sleep. Trymaking their own homemade pasta sauce with sage and basil. It's easy to do, and homemade sauces tend to be lower in sugar than store-bought versions. However, to avoid herbs like cayenne or black pepper at night because they have a stimulating effect.

 

Introducing Your Baby to New Fruits and Vegetables

When your baby has mastered the very fine purees and simple flavors most often introduced as the first solid foods, it's time to start incorporating new flavors into your baby's diet. When your baby starts to enjoy more variety, it's time to think outside of the box. Get beyond the typical apples and bananas and offer your baby some different and often overlooked fruits and vegetables that offer up tons of nutrition and plenty of flavor.

Avocados. Avocados are an excellent early food for babies. They have a silky, smooth texture that only requires fork mashing, rather than real pureeing. The mild flavor is very often a hit with babies, and avocados are loaded with the good fat that babies need.

Kiwi. Kiwi also has a naturally soft texture so it is easy to mash to the correct consistency for your baby. While kiwis may be a little sour for your baby at first, they are a wonderful source of vitamin C.

Melons. Melons such as cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon are great fruits for your baby to try. Again, they have a naturally soft texture so they are easy to chew. Cantaloupe is packed with vitamins A and C. Honeydew is also a great source of vitamin C and watermelon has lycopene, vitamin C, and vitamin A.

Cherries. Bing cherries, chopped into tiny pieces, are another great fruit for your baby to try. Cherries provide vitamin C and potassium.

Broccoli. Because of the naturally firm texture of broccoli, it is sometimes overlooked as a baby food. Removing the florets and chopping them finely, however, makes broccoli a great vegetable to mix in with another puree such as carrots. Broccoli is a nutritional powerhouse providing vitamin C, fiber, iron, calcium, potassium, and folate. The gassiness that broccoli often gives adults, typically does not translate to babies.

Spinach. Spinach can be pureed alone or mixed with other purees. Because it has a rather strong flavor, your baby may like it better when mixed with something else. Spinach is packed with nutrients including Vitamin A, C, magnesium, folate, and iron.

Summer Squash. Your baby probably already likes butternut or acorn squash, but what about yellow summer squash? This vegetable provides vitamin C and has a mild flavor that many babies love. Just make sure you leave the skin on and chop it very finely.

Corn. Corn too is often overlooked as a vegetable because it is sometimes considered to be a grain. But with vitamin C and fiber, and a naturally sweet taste, corn can be a nice addition to your baby's diet. Be sure your baby is accustomed to chewing before trying smashed corn kernels.

Tomatoes. Tomatoes are acidic so make sure your baby is a little older (8 or 9 months) before incorporating tomatoes into his diet. Chopped tomato makes a great finger food. Tomatoes are full of lycopene, vitamins A and C, and potassium.

When feeding your baby make sure you consider all that your grocery store produce section has to offer, not just the same old fruits and vegetables. Introducing your baby to plenty of new flavors from a young age will help her to be open to new foods for a lifetime, and will give her the ultimate in good nutrition.

A company of Western Australia has a potato dispenser hot chips fried frozen pending.

 

Although the idea has occurred to many who watched with sadness in the closing sign of the local pizzeria to three hours before stumbling home to a disappointing slice of toast, the successful execution took years of work .

 

This is the latest company to Perth Affairs Peter Malone, best known for his turn as CEO of telecommunications company collapsed New Tel, the company's $ 2.5 billion he founded with his best man in 1988.

 

New Tel trades in 1999 and reported $ 150 million in the market before its promise of being "America Online China" fell flat. When the company was in administration in 2002, he had to creditors nearly $ 50 million . Telstra and Optus both were owed $ 10 million.

 

Malone, who heads the company Hot Chip, said that the development of the vending machine began over 10 years ago when his business partner group began recording unsuccessful attempts by other companies.

 

He said his machine, which has just passed the trial stage and begin commercial production this year, fried potato chips in a bucket of 10 liters of rice bran oil in the belly of the machine.

 

The technology used in the final design, which is based on a robotic arm to grab the chips in a cup and serve the customers waiting, has been made available in recent years.

 

Malone suggested chips could qualify for the Heart Foundation tick than fried in oil without cholesterol. Said the risk of food poisoning was minimal because "the potatoes are much more than an inert material."

The choice of potato was not an easy task. Stephen Bendotti is a potato processing company director Bendotti exporters and WA Chip, which provides chips. He said it took a lot of trial and error to frozen french fries that are cooked properly within minutes.



McDonald’s serves organic milk to children in the U.K.? But not here in the U.S.?

 

McDonald’s also serves organic milk with their porridge (oatmeal), coffee and tea! You’ll also find healthier items, like pineapple and carrot sticks that you won’t find at any McDonald’s in the U.S. – also without preservatives. Their fries aren’t cooked in oil that contains TBHQ (a derivative of butane) or the anti-foaming agentdimethylpolysiloxane(an ingredient in silly putty) like they are here. Isn’t it funny that the oil in the U.K. seems to work just fine without these ingredients?

Pull through the Taco Bell drive-thru and you won’t be able to order Cinnabon desserts and big Mt. Dew Baja Blast Frozen drinks because these super sugary “treats” simply aren’t available. If you dine at Pizza Hut, you’ll get to take advantage of a free unlimited salad bar full of fresh vegetables (like they used to have in the United States but discontinued). I’m not saying everything is healthy in these restaurants, because it’s certainly not – but, it’s definitely different than what we’ve got going on here in the U.S. Not only are their ingredients different, but they are serving up completely different ingredients and menu choices. One startling thing I noticed is that many of the menu items in the U.K. contain far less sugar than the versions that they serve us in the U.S.

Five Fast-Food Restaurants Serving Up More Sugar In the U.S.:

1.  McDonald’s Chocolate Shake (without whip cream or cherry on top)

If you order a large chocolate shake in the U.K., you’ll get it in the classic smaller cup (16.9 oz.) that I remember as a kid. This is about the same size as a medium size shake now in the U.S., as cup sizes have grown dramatically over the years. McDonald’s has changed their shakes for the worse in the U.S. and now serve new larger versions (22 oz.) with whipped cream that contain an astounding 120 grams of sugar. In the U.K. that large shake still has a whole lot of sugar (67 grams), but it’s so much less sugar than what we get here at home. Taking into account the bigger cups sizes in the U.S., ounce for ounce, the U.S. McDonald’s shake without whip has 33% more sugar than the U.K. version.

2.  Pizza Hut Pepperoni Lovers/Pepperoni Feast Thin Crust Pizza (14” large/8 slices)

Not only would you get to take advantage of that free unlimited salad bar in the U.K., but when you order this pizza it only contains 16 grams of sugar, versus a whopping 40 grams in the U.S. version. That’s 151% more sugar!

3.  Subway Turkey Ham Sandwich (6″ with 9-grain wheat bread, lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes, green peppers and onions)

Subway used to be one of my go-to “healthy” sandwiches before I stopped eating processed fast food. Their Turkey Ham Sandwich isn’t exactly high in sugar, but here in the U.S. you’ll get over 56% more sugar (8 grams of sugar for 217 gram subway sandwich) than if you were to order the exact same sandwich in the U.K (5.4 grams of sugar for 228 gram sandwich).

4.  Starbucks Pumpkin Spice Latte (20 oz. venti, semi-skim/2% milk with whip)

i couldn’t help but wonder if Starbucks was serving up the same ingredients in other countries. I obtained the complete list of ingredients for the Pumpkin Spice latte in the U.K., and my hunches were correct. Not only did they reformulate their recipe with safer ingredients, but it also contains a lot less sugar. The venti Pumpkin Spice (2% milk with whip) in the U.S. has a whopping 58% percent more sugar than the U.K. version. A “tall” latte in the U.S. (small size) has almost the same amount of sugar as the Venti (large size).

Starbucks also doesn’t use use caramel coloring in the U.K., which proves this is a totally unnecessary ingredient. Instead, they color it with beta carotene (from carrots) and don’t use preservatives. Starbucks is telling news agencies here in the U.S. that they’ve got a “team in place” working on phasing out caramel coloring in the U.S. But, they’ve already done it in the U.K., so why can’t they just serve the same, safer, product here?

5.  Krispy Kreme Glazed Doughnut

A plain Krispy Kreme glazed doughnut in the U.S. has 52% more sugar than the U.K. version. Not only is the U.S. doughnut slightly smaller (49 gram size), but it’s got more sugar, ringing in at 10 grams, versus 7 grams in the U.K. doughnut (52 gram size). If you eat more than one doughnut, those extra sugar grams can add up

McDonald’s serves organic milk to children in the U.K.? But not here in the U.S.?

Gordon Ramsay restaurant advice forStarting


 

Every man and his dog seems to want to open a restaurant today. The dream? A small corner, corner full of customers of worship, passionate staff and a full cash register. Sound familiar? Then it's time for a reality check. As Gordon Ramsay said, "two thirds of the restaurants do not survive beyond their first birthday."

There are long hours, grumpy customers, financial requirements and all kinds of other issues. Whenever you want to do? Here are some suggestions for you - leader Ramsay style.

1. Do not be arrogant

"Many restaurants opened in vanity, people who can not even boil an egg is how I buy a rugby club because I love the game One of my biggest nightmares is that you do not need knowledge makes people fall in love with an idea and do not want to learn their craft, it takes years. - time and commitment. "

Of course, you're still in it? Ok then ...

2. Have you done your homework?

"The secret of a good local restaurant is know your customers and catering for them to do your research .."

Is the region needs a gourmet restaurant expensive, or would be more comfortable with a place potatoes in a hot oven? Make sure you know the area, evaluate the competition and find out what their strengths and weaknesses are. What are you going to stand out from the rest?

3. Choose the right chef

"best conservative investment will always be the head, and if you do not have this great asset in the kitchen downstairs, so forget the guy has to be a motivating factor, being a leader to make money .. keep customers coming back. "

Make sure your head is up. They are an arrogant young upstart who does not know cooking pork or beef, or well seasoned leader with vision and drive?

4. Who is responsible?

"You have to trust in the brigade paid, and may also cause to develop their talent Keep hands on them, motivate ..."

5. Communication and Teamwork

"The key to any successful restaurant is regular communication between management and the chef."

6. The menu

"The flatter, more the norm."

7. Quality Control

"Errors stay in the kitchen."

8. Maintain clean and organized

"The fundamental rule of the kitchen: the kitchen is clean and tidy I mean spotless"

9. Be flexible

"In my own business, I am very aware of the need to react instantly to changes in business conditions :. Reduce reducing overhead, setting menus, you have to react immediately without having to wait in the current climate we produce weekly, monthly values and is not, you need to be aware of what is happening. "

10. Do not give up

"One thing I see is the struggle, determination and grains."

Foods Help You Sleep

 

Sleeping woman

Let's face it - we live in a society without stopping. In our haste, we too often we sleep in the background. As a busy mother, I can understand why people dream of doing things goes.

But this is the wrong approach. Sleep has a huge effect on how you feel throughout the day, and nutrition plays an important role in the way you sleep. The food is directly related to serotonin, a key hormone that - with vitamin B6, B12 and folic acid - helps promote healthy sleep. Try to eat foods that calm the body, increase the levels of serotonin and prepare for sleep.

Here are some foods to start on the road to sleep.

 

Brown rice

1. Complex carbohydrates

Embrace all breads, cereals, pasta, crackers and brown rice. Avoid simple carbohydrates like bread, pasta and sweets like cookies, cakes, candies and other sweet foods. These tend to reduce the levels of serotonin and does not promote sleep.

2. Lean proteins

Lean proteins are low-fat cheese, chicken, turkey and fish. These foods are high in tryptophan, an amino acid, which tends to increase the serotonin levels. On the other hand, avoiding high-fat cheese, chicken wings or fried fish. They take longer to digest and can keep you awake

3. Heart-healthy fats

Unsaturated fats not only increase the health of your heart, but also to improve the levels of serotonin. Examples include peanut butter (read the label to ensure that the peanut is the only ingredient) and nuts such as walnuts, almonds, cashews and pistachios. Avoid foods containing saturated and trans fats, such as chips, crisps and other snacks high in fat. These bring your low serotonin levels.   

4. Beverages

Some drinks can promote or prevent sleep. A pleasant and relaxing drink to drink before bedtime would be the hot milk (his mother was right) or herbal tea such as chamomile or peppermint. As for drinks containing caffeine, I recommend to my clients who have trouble sleeping a drink consumed two pmCaffeine can affect people differently, and even the smallest amount of stimulants can keep you awake.

Basil leaf

5. Fresh herbs

Fresh herbs can have a calming effect on the body. For example, sage, basil and contains chemicals that reduce stress and promote sleep. Trymaking their own homemade pasta sauce with sage and basil. It's easy to do, and homemade sauces tend to be lower in sugar than store-bought versions. However, to avoid herbs like cayenne or black pepper at night because they have a stimulating effect.

Introducing Your Baby to New Fruits and Vegetables

When your baby has mastered the very fine purees and simple flavors most often introduced as the first solid foods, it's time to start incorporating new flavors into your baby's diet. When your baby starts to enjoy more variety, it's time to think outside of the box. Get beyond the typical apples and bananas and offer your baby some different and often overlooked fruits and vegetables that offer up tons of nutrition and plenty of flavor.

Avocados. Avocados are an excellent early food for babies. They have a silky, smooth texture that only requires fork mashing, rather than real pureeing. The mild flavor is very often a hit with babies, and avocados are loaded with the good fat that babies need.

Kiwi. Kiwi also has a naturally soft texture so it is easy to mash to the correct consistency for your baby. While kiwis may be a little sour for your baby at first, they are a wonderful source of vitamin C.

Melons. Melons such as cantaloupe, honeydew, and watermelon are great fruits for your baby to try. Again, they have a naturally soft texture so they are easy to chew. Cantaloupe is packed with vitamins A and C. Honeydew is also a great source of vitamin C and watermelon has lycopene, vitamin C, and vitamin A.

Cherries. Bing cherries, chopped into tiny pieces, are another great fruit for your baby to try. Cherries provide vitamin C and potassium.

Broccoli. Because of the naturally firm texture of broccoli, it is sometimes overlooked as a baby food. Removing the florets and chopping them finely, however, makes broccoli a great vegetable to mix in with another puree such as carrots. Broccoli is a nutritional powerhouse providing vitamin C, fiber, iron, calcium, potassium, and folate. The gassiness that broccoli often gives adults, typically does not translate to babies.

Spinach. Spinach can be pureed alone or mixed with other purees. Because it has a rather strong flavor, your baby may like it better when mixed with something else. Spinach is packed with nutrients including Vitamin A, C, magnesium, folate, and iron.

Summer Squash. Your baby probably already likes butternut or acorn squash, but what about yellow summer squash? This vegetable provides vitamin C and has a mild flavor that many babies love. Just make sure you leave the skin on and chop it very finely.

Corn. Corn too is often overlooked as a vegetable because it is sometimes considered to be a grain. But with vitamin C and fiber, and a naturally sweet taste, corn can be a nice addition to your baby's diet. Be sure your baby is accustomed to chewing before trying smashed corn kernels.

Tomatoes. Tomatoes are acidic so make sure your baby is a little older (8 or 9 months) before incorporating tomatoes into his diet. Chopped tomato makes a great finger food. Tomatoes are full of lycopene, vitamins A and C, and potassium.

When feeding your baby make sure you consider all that your grocery store produce section has to offer, not just the same old fruits and vegetables. Introducing your baby to plenty of new flavors from a young age will help her to be open to new foods for a lifetime, and will give her the ultimate in good nutrition.
