Top 10 Best Baby Nutrition Apps and Websites. 

When you want to teach your kids about healthy eating, these resources can help them learn fun, independent (or supervised) cooking.

How to make your children understand the importance of proper nutrition and adopting healthy eating habits? This is a question that every parent has to deal with. With so many junk food options available, it can be a challenge to get your kids to eat — and enjoy — foods that are good for them.

Fortunately, these apps, websites, and resources for parents and kids can help your kids understand why their growing bodies need good fuel and what they should eat to stay fit and healthy.

1) My food: nutrition for children

My Food: Nutrition for Kids is an app designed for children aged four and up to learn about the origins of their food. Beautifully designed with interactive graphics, it's packed with great information about food, nutrition and how digestion works in the human body. Children can learn to eat a well-balanced meal by exploring plates of food and building their own sandwiches. They can even experiment with growing their own food by completing a herb growing challenge that they can document by taking pictures and recording audio within the app. Children narrate everything, so even children with limited reading skills can use My Food. And it's easy to choose a vegetarian option in the app settings. My Food has plenty of content to keep your kids entertained, although you can expect more challenges and tasks from a paid app.

2) Grow a garden. 

Grow Garden is a great way to get kids excited about organic gardening and how to grow healthy vegetables sustainably. Children plant seeds in the Growth Garden, water their plants, watch crops grow and see how the weather affects them.

When the time is right, they harvest crops, feed animals, and collect scraps for composting. This allows them to enhance their Growth Garden with nutritious soil. Along the way, your kids collect rewards and badges while learning about the environment in a simple, fun app suitable for young learners.

3) Wello: Healthy habits for children. 

Wello is a free app that gamifies better nutrition for your kids, making it fun for the whole family to develop healthy eating habits.

Alternatively, there are plenty of great food diary apps out there. Read about healthy eating in the Wellopedia section, and complete interactive challenges on the Wello plan to earn rewards.

Wello aims to be a nutritional companion for the whole family. For parents of overweight children, it is beneficial to inspire and support them to change their habits and lead a healthier lifestyle.
