Fruits And Vegetables Benefit For Children

Our country for some time now has been submerged in a deep political, economic and social crisis. This crisis has affected a large part of the population, but we can not deny that children have been the most affected.

This has created in some men and women of good heart and fear of God, a longing to help, regardless of many times the distances and great limitations that appear along the way.

Here at SteemChurch we have our beloved leader @SirkNight who has been emphatic in his solidarity with those most in need, and our Apostle @darlenys01 by @SC-V whom we have seen working to sell the hands of the children of our country.

Then there arises the wonderful Project Bread Of God, which undoubtedly has the support of our Lord Jesus Christ and has placed it in the heart of the Apostle @darlenys01 so that it can take a food to the children of Venezuela that provides a balanced diet and a good health.

Ready and processed foods tend to attract more children, mainly because they are visually more attractive and have a more pleasant taste to children. But, do not be mistaken: offering only that to them is a danger!

This type of food has high rates of fat, salt and sugar, which do not contribute to the development of small and greatly harm health.

To avoid this situation, the best solution is to insert fruits and vegetables into baby foods, foods that are important to provide special benefits for children.
