Healthy Food Tip The diet of a toddler or preschool child should contain the following three aspects: 1. Variety - The diet should comprise different textures, tastes, smells and colours to broaden a child's nutritional intake and eating experience.

2. Balance - A healthy balance of complex carbohydrates, lean proteins and essential fats.

3. Moderation - Indulging in sweets, ice cream and other white sugar and refined flour foods only on occasion. Fast food options such as fried foods and those high in saturated fat and trans fatty acids should be kept to a minimum.
