While exposure to television advertisements about fast foods is often linked to unhealthy eating habits among children, a new research has revealed that tv programme featuring healthy foods can influence children to make healthier food choices now and in adulthood.

 

Kids who watched a child-oriented cooking show featuring healthy food were 2.7 times more likely to make a healthy food choice than those who watched a different episode of the same show featuring unhealthy food, said the study published in the Journal of Nutrition education and Behaviour.

 

children who don't like new foods are less likely to show a stronger desire for healthier choices after watching a tv programme featuring healthier foods than a child who does enjoy trying new foods. As they grow older, though, they start to feel more responsible for their eating habits and can fall back on information they learned as children.
