Make Your Children Healthier by Feeding Them More Sugar
"Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet."
--Aristotle
Top 5 great ways to “healthy up” your children by increasing their sugar intake.
Its every parents dream - No more fighting about eating too much sugar. If only there was an already prepared solution that you could quickly give to your children…
These miracle products aren’t new, but it’s easy for people to forget how much children love them and how easy they are to prepare to satisfy the horde.
Thank you to Problogger.net for running this Group Writing Project.
Apples
Surprised?
Fruit is filled with “Fruit Sugar” or sucrose.
Apples are around 10% sugar, but unlike those chocolate bars or chewy candy they also have lots of nutritional value and help clean teeth.
Like many fruits, apples also can provide a healthy helping of your daily vitamin C, around 8% of the RDV.
Watermelon
The classic summertime fruit and another great source of vitamin C (around 13% RDV)
While watermelons are a relatively newly domesticated fruit, there are plenty of variates including different colors, shapes, and even seedless.
But then of course, half the fun of eating watermelon for children (or perhaps, adults) is to have a seed spitting competition.
Oranges
Oranges are around 9% sugar, but are blasting with vitamins including 75% RDV of Vitamin C!
Like Apples, there are hundreds of varieties of Oranges. Interestingly, the most popular seedless variety of Oranges, the Navel Orange, are only able be cultivated by cutting and grafting onto other varieties of citrus trees.
But, from big to small, sweet and sour, or even seedless - Oranges are an easy quick snack.
Pineapple
Pineapple always seemed like a magic fruit to me. You had to have someone at the store specially cut it and more so than any other fruit, it seemed the most like candy.
Like Oranges, Pineapple has an insane amount of Vitamin C (50% RDV.)
They also seem to have the most sugar out of all the other fruits mentioned here
Which may be why I always felt like I was getting one over on my parents when I got to eat them.
Strawberries
Strawberries - the great producer of red hands and faces. Then later, red shirts, pants, and carpets.
Strawberries are another great Vitamin C producer, but also have a great deal of Vitamin A.
Picking Strawberries is also a fun weekend activity for when the summer boredom strikes.
These are my favorite “cheating” candies. What are yours?
Extra
Also for those that haven’t seen it, we are running a Group Writing Project of our own.
We have over $250 USD of stuff to give away - We hope you’ll join us by writing an article on your site about a favorite game that you love to play.

Nice site. I think I will try to participate in your contest.
You should check out a number of other excellent sites on play and games for children, including Bernie DeKoven’s, Rejuvenile, and others (look at their sites’ blogrolls for other links).

This is a very interesting post. Although I do know that the fruits listed above are nutritional, what I didnt know was people can actually get a some sugar content from them.
Still, children have the tendency to dislike fruits (especially vegetables) which is why we need to teach them on how to have a proper diet while enjoying taste bud tingling sweetness.
Thanks for your post.
