We would appreciate you sharing this with parents and school staff who may be interested in health and wellbeing. Our latest HSE Talking Health and Wellbeing Podcast is about Healthy Lunchboxes for Kids. With school routines starting again and parents getting to grips with what to put into those lunchboxes and what to avoid. Marian McBride, Dietetic Lead, HSE Health & Wellbeing discusses the importance of a balanced diet to ensure children develop a healthy relationship with food.

With tips on how to introduce healthier foods into children’s daily diets. Marian gives ideas on what to include, recognising that parents are busy, she explains that it’s about frequency and taking those different opportunities to introduce healthier options.
