Bribing kids to eat their veggies might work short-term, but it can backfire in the long run! 🍎🥦
Studies show using sweets or treats as rewards increases children’s preference for those foods

Over time, dessert becomes the “prize” & vegetables the “chore,” skewing their perception of food value

Bribes also link food w achievement or behaviour, fostering emotional eating patterns later in life

Are most mums-to-be starting pregnancy already low on vital nutrients?

#PregnancyHealth #MaternalHealth #B12 #Folate #VitaminD
Low levels of some vitamins (e.g. folic acid, aka vitamin B9) are associated with poor health outcomes during pregnancy & for the infant after birth

As our body only makes many of these micronutrients in small amounts (if at all) we get most from our diet
