A study by a research center in Lausanne has shown that children who help in the kitchen eat more fruits and vegetables and eat healthier.
The study shows that children who do not help with food consumption consume significantly less vegetables and fresh food.
The study compared the choice of foods that young helpers eat most often with the choice of children who do not help their parents prepare food.
"We found that children who spent more time in the kitchen and cooked with their parents consumed more fresh food and significantly more vegetables," said nutritionist Dr. Clatsine van der Horst.
If children help prepare food, it can build healthy eating habits and increase their consumption of healthy foods such as fruits and vegetables.
The study involved children between the ages of 6 and 10, and the final results showed that young chefs ate 76% more salad than children who played or were lazy while their parents prepared food.
The data from the study also came to the conclusion that the participation of children in food preparation significantly raises their self-esteem.
According to the nutritionists who participated in the project, co-cooking makes children consume more salad because they choose its ingredients.
Researchers have also found a link between food preparation and the pleasure of eating it.
Recent studies show that the Japanese are the nation that eats the healthiest, unlike the British, who find it difficult to eat fresh fruits and vegetables more often.
The British Health Foundation claims that people could eat healthier and on a smaller budget.
Consumers could buy frozen fruits and vegetables that cost less than fresh ones.
Also, vegetables are cheaper than meat products and people could add more fresh vegetables to their meals at the expense of meat.
