10 amazing summer foods for children to keep them energetic

My usually rude daughter has suddenly lost her hunger. The dining tables are spent on the table, end up with frustration, its end and both of me. A few days after this unnatural behavior, I decided to move back one step back, assess the situation and discuss it with my pediatrician. This is when we realized that the heat of the heat had to be blamed. It was also removing his energy and his hunger. Children are active and energetic, often expand more energy that what they take. Add it to it, the heat and dehydration of the tireless heat causes it forever. Thus it becomes mandatory to ensure that their nutrition is adjusted accordingly, to give them fuel.

Here are 10 cooling summer foods that would like to load your children:
