Children love sweets, but sugar should be off-limits for them: Excessive consumption quickly leads to "hyperglycaemia" - and this is not only responsible for tooth decay and obesity, but also affects behavior and can lead to diabetes in childhood. But how do you make healthy food appealing to children when they want gummy bears instead of vegetables and whole grains? This is the question that Cathy Hummels also asked herself. Since the birth of her son Ludwig, healthy eating has taken on a completely different meaning. To show other young mothers how dangerous too much sugar is and how you can easily cook sugar-free meals for little ones, she has brought in reinforcements: pediatrician Dr. Antonia Gavazzeni and Christina Wiedemann, an experienced nutritionist. Together, the three have developed over 50 sugar-free recipes that have the potential to become favorite meals and are a hit even in the stressful everyday life of a mother. Cathy Hummels reveals lots of tips and tricks – and personal information from her kitchen and Ludwig’s children’s room.
Children don’t need sugar, they are already sweet enough
