How Food Shapes Your Child

Louise Mercieca

Did you know there’s a link between food and poor childhood development?

Are you concerned about childhood obesity?

Not sure how to introduce healthy foods into your family’s diet?

Are your family mealtimes repetitive and dull?

In her debut cookbook, Nutrition Advisor and Personal Trainer Louise Mercieca, explores the unhealthy relationship between processed foods, sugar, trans fats and childhood obesity. This book is an essential guide for parents on childhood nutrition, as well as sharing a range of fun, healthy meal ideas.

“Childhood obesity isn’t just an aesthetic issue – children do not necessarily grow into themselves, grow out of it or burn it off.  If your child is carrying excess fat it is unhealthy and is likely to affect their relationship with food as adults.”

Find out how tasty, home-cooked, fresh food can provide a lifelong solution. Through this cookbook, Louise aims to brighten up your family mealtimes with delicious, colourful recipes containing fresh, local ingredients.

“If you form some healthy, good habits now, you will be providing your children with the greatest possible chance of good health as they grow into adults.”
